While mounted to the standard stand you have the convenience to move the camera angle more easily, however, the Outdoor Mounting Stand will make it a lot harder for anyone to tamper with the Camera and its viewing angle. On the standard stand you can easily move the camera's angle as the camera's strong magnet will slide around the metal ball, whereas on the Outdoor Mounting Stand the camera is screwed on to the tripod pin and further secured with the nut on the Stand. The Outdoor Mounting Stand can then be attached to a wall or ceiling by drilling with 3 screws and wall plugs (included in the pack). Use the stand to maneuver the camera to find the best viewing angle for your Smart Security Camera then tighten using the nut above the base of the stand. The Mounting Stand has a tripod mount with a ¼" / 6.35mm screw thread that suits most wireless security cameras allowing you the adaptability to use it with the Swann Smart Security Camera range, as well as with other brands and models. Use the Outdoor Mounting Stand to securely mount the camera around your home, on walls, ceilings, porches, verandahs, eves and more.
