How in the dickens do you separate the camera from the base to mount the base to a wall or ceiling? I don't want to damage the unit forcing it apart.

unscrew the base ring .......................some has threads...........some has 3 or 4 allen screws/ use an allen key supplied

There is a tab you push against with a small screwdriver in the slot on the bottom of the unit, which will allow you to "pop" it apart, giving access to the screw mounting holes and battery compartment. Pull the unit apart with your nails while depressing the tab. Good luck!

Yes, it can be mounted on the ceiling but you will not be able to point it everywhere as you can if you put it on a wall. The camera will rotate and also swivels up and down but mounted on a ceiling, the base will get in the way of some directions. I would try to find a wall location if at all possible so that it can be mounted as in the photos. If that is not an option, you may want to look at one of the round cameras that are designed to be mounted on the ceiling. I just did a quick check on Amazon and there are several available. Good luck in your search.

No. The display screen does not separate from the base. It doesn't lend itself to mounting on the wall.

It screws off counterclockwise at the base. There should be instructions in the box. I have (8) of these - I think - out of 24 cameras. They are the best of my cameras.

The camera comes with a ceiling mount. Technically you could use it as a wall mount but would need access to the back of the wall you are installing on.cheers manutdsoc20

yes, you can mount from a ceiling but the camera will be rotated 90 degrees, basically laying on it's side.The ball joint won't allow it to rotate enough for the camera to be oriented correctly, but it would not bother me in the slightest.

its very hard to do but the small ring at the base of the camera will unscrew to allow you to install screws to mount the camera

I haven't had to do it yet but I pulled out the instructions that came with it. Wording is confusing but I followed instructions and then in mine is mounted over an island. I can see the wires and arrows referred to in instructions when I look from the back side of unit. I don't want to take it apart - but if you haven't looked from the back side that might help. If I could figure out how to insert a picture I woukd send that and a picture of the (confusing) manual page. If those might be helpful to you, I'd be happy to email them to you but I'm not sure how to get my email address to you without posting it here.

You can install the base in any position, verticle or horizontal, ceiling or wall. You then adjust the camera and aim the area you want to cover.

The safest way would be to put a screw/nail in the wall. The unit has a slotted hole for a device with a head to safely hold the unit to the wall. It is light enough however, to use double sided tape or velcro which would be better than tape. I would reccomend the screw, should you have to change the battery, just pick the unit off of the wall.

If you Mount them to a small piece of wood and use the wood as a base then you can place them on a shelf. Just make sure the wood is big enough as to where the weight of the camera will not cause both the wood and camera to tip over. This would prevent any drilling inside your home. You can paint the wood to make it look presentable. You will need to purchase different screws as the ones the unit comes with are made to drill into walls. You will need to feed a bolt upward through the wood into the holes of the camera base and fasten that down with a couple of nuts. Simple...

Mount it from a pole attached to the ceiling above rather than a pole mounted from the ground/base unit as seen in the picture. Just reverse the mounting from above...

I haven't installed mine yet, but I did determine that if you loosen the nut that holds the camera to the wall mount, you can move the camera around to position in just about any way. Good Luck.

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

The antenna mounts on the camera normally. There is clearance inside the upper part of the enclosure for it. This whole unit is quite large--partly for this reason.

This one you twist it counter clockwise. The base is mounted to the ceiling but the unit will come free. It won'tshock you because it has a plug-in. Open the battery compartment and switch the battery
