The newest Arlo wall mounts have a small, weak plastic piece where they hang from a screw and I have had several of them break! It's obviously a weak point in the design and they are very expensive. I have had three break in the same place so far and customer service was no help.  Very frustrating!

    I've broken one or two - one was screwed into a tree, and eventually the tree growth broke the plastic peice.

     

    Probably the best path is to switch to a screw mount.  The screw threads are standard, so there are lots of options.
