No model no. is needed to understand that wildlife perch and knock the cameras around because the cameras are not bolted to the surface they sit on. The magnet is not strong enough to stop a bird that perches on it from knocking it off target.Some improvements are needed. If one wants to attach the magnet to an outside surface, there should be 4 screwholes around the base of the magnet. Hanging the camera on one screw based magnet is not enough to ensure that the base doesn't get knocked around outside.

I have never used the magnetic mounts and I find that the mounts using the threaded screw on mount to be too easy for someone to steal and do not adequately hide the camera. I have used various materials ot make home made mounts to make them more theft resistant.
