Outdoor Camera Magnetic Mount Failure

Mounting dome failure

I went to change the battery on one of my 3 outdoor cameras and discovered a problem.  When i took the camera off of the mount (standard dome mount) the metal magnet dome came off with the camera itself.  The metal magnet dome has a plastic dome insert inside the metal one and apparently the adhesive between the plastic and metal dome failed.  I was really surprised that given this condition i didn't find the camera on the ground!  This may be a big problem ongoing if the adhesive starts to fail more widely in the install base.  I hope to call support and get a replacement this week.  SS LMK if you have any comment to this situation.  thanks, D

@drss Call SS and they will replace it in a heartbeat. Want something a bit more secure? They sell a secure mount that is not that expensive you may want to consider....and don't hesitate to ask for a reduced price or freebie since you went through a defective mount experience. All they can say is no. :-)

Happy Holidays to you and your family.
