Any way to mount Arlo Ultra cameras without putting a screw in the wall?

I will be moving into an apartment in the next few weeks and I was interested in getting a security camera to put outside my door. Are there any ways I could mount the Arlo Ultra camera without putting a screw in the wall?

If you mean indoors, then you could try using an adhesive mounting pad to mount the magnetic base.

One aspect here is that the camera could be easily stolen. Not sure you'd need an ultra for this, you might consider a less expensive camera (for instance, a pro2).

I didn’t think about that, it would make more sense to buy a pro2. What about outdoors installation?

That depends on the details. What surface are you thinking of attaching it to?

Vinyl siding.

I seem to recall a post from years ago about a vinyl siding accessory allowing things to be attached without holes. Must be some sort of hook that would go at a seam. Might be worth seeing if you could find it somewhere.
