include outdoor mount in all Arlo Pro packages

I like the idea of the magnetic wall mount, but really don't see as practical for an outdoor install. I'm not concerned with the camera dislodging or falling off -- the magnet's strong enough -- but it's just too easy for someone to swipe the camera or knock it down. The convenience in repositioning and taking down for recharging doesn't outweigh this risk.

 

Personally, I wasn't at all comfortable mounting my single Arlo Pro outside 24/7 until I ordered the outdoor mount separately. I realize the outdoor mount isn't 100% secure either. Nothing is. But it's better than just the magnet.

 

I propose Netgear include 1 magnetic mount and 1 outdoor mount in all packages, including the 1 camera set. The magnetic mount is fine for indoors, but without the outdoor mount, it's not practical for outside use.
