Can someone please post a picture of the Arlo Security mount bottom?

I'm trying to figure out mouting solutions without needing to drill into my exterior. I need to see what the underside of the security mount looks like so I can figure out whether an adhesive would work.

Specifically, I am referring to this mount as I need to know whether it's flat/hollow/curved on the bottom (so I can use tape).

Thanks!

It is raised and hollow with three screw opening at 120d each....tape will not work.

But remember, almost any flat metal stock wiill work with a 1/4 -20 bolt and screw if you bend it yourself

Or you could mount it to something else, like a block of wood, and use adhesive.

Thanks for the response!

Sorry, I'm not very handy. What is a flat metal stock? I would need the dumbest and easiest solution. I thought about taping over the edges using industrial grade adhesive, but that would be too obvious since anyone can see it.

I then thought about using the magnetic mount, and somehow rigging the Arlo to remain chained to the mount, but I don't think that's possible as there isn't a hook on the magnetic mount to feed a small steel chain through.

Maybe the Arlo won't work for me 😕

This is what I found when I searched for flat metal stock.

Disregard my post -- I reread your original question and my response is totally not related to your question. I'm sorry.
