5S Security Mount Wall Plate

[MEppe]

How can I obtain additional wall plates (lost mine) to match to these security mounts?  Alternatively, is there a way to mount them on threaded mounts like other Arlo cameras like the 4?  As pictured, the hole on the back of the existing mount piece isn't compatible with standard mounts on other types of brackets.

You can't purchase just the wall plates, you'd have to be another complete mount.

Another option is to purchase a new housing that uses a standard mount.

AFAIK, all Arlo threaded holes are 1/4"-20 threads. I could see that a longer bolt on the mount could be needed.

I don't think that is the case with the total security mount.  Others have tried to connect the housing to a standard mount, and had no success.

I can validate that it is not threaded.  I hoped it was.  Alas, I bought new housings with threaded holes.  Another option was the ceiling adapter that effectively gave me the wall plate I wanted, but at a 45 degree angle.   https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories/FBA1001-10000S.html

I doubt these would have worked.  They are for the wireless floodlight camera - the mount looks similar to the total security mount you have (had), but isn't exactly the same.
