I have not yet bought a ARLO PRO. I have new siding on my house and do not want to drill holes into the siding for installation. What is the best way to install or attach the camera to siding without compromising or damaging the siding? Like to have something strong enough to hold it in place during high winds. Any suggestions?

I think if you're trying to attach it to stucco you might not have a choice. For a wood beam I'd say drilling a hole is the strongest but I can't say much for the fact that there is only 1 mounting screw on the camera base.

I've had good luck with 3M molding tape ( double sided ) at the auto parts store...

No, not attaching it to stucco. Attaching to vinyl siding.

In the same boat...looking to attach to vinyl siding. Assume the Pro Mounts (sold separately) would work well, assuming the screws are long enough to hit a a stud (hopefully) or at least some plywood. But you'll also want to ensure you don't drill into any live wiring or plumbing...

Don't see an "edit" function...
Can anyone confirm the length of the screws that come with the Arlo Pro mount?

This link does not tell the length of the screws that come with the Arlo.

Screws are defnitely not long enough to hit anything solid. Don't know how I will mount these cameras on my vinyl siding. No other place to mount them! ugh

I just mounted 3 of my camera to my vinyl siding. I used the tape below. It states it will hold 15lbs. Did two strips on the back and that took up about 95% of the back.

They are holding up perfect so far. I need to move one because I put it too close to my flag and it trips a lot. So now I will not have to worry about filling in a hole if I would have used a longer screw.

Thank you so much. It looks like the tape will have to be my answer for at least one of my cameras. I made a tiny pilot hole in the siding and when it hit nothing I inserted a wire and it went in almost 5 inches before it hit anything solid and then I don't know what it's hitting. This part of the house is a front porch that was added later so who knows. Thanks so much for letting me know about the tape.

No Problem.... just check on it every couple of months. I was a little concerned about the tape since it was installed at a location with full direct South Texas sun/heat (8 hours a day). It has been fine for a couple of years now.

I am looking to use the double sided tape to attach a camera to my siding, which mount did you use? The outdoor mount or the outdoor security mount? Thanks.

I used the 3M outdoor double sided tape from Home Depot on all of my outdoor camera mounts and it seemed to hold for many months but recently one fell off. I then re-applied tape to it and bought Loctite Stik'n Seal outdoor adhesive to apply along the top half edge where it met the brick I was sticking it to. This water resistant adhesive along the edge together with the tape did the trick and now my mount should never come off. I'm using the dome mounts that come free with the cameras on brick.

Right now we have had nights and days staying below 0. Down to -15 at some points. The 3M is holding up great.

I live Midwest with Winter weather etc. Did you use the Outdoor Security Mount or Magnetic or just put the tape on the camera? Thanks. I am so new to this 🙂 I live in a rented mobile home so trying to figure out my options since they won't like if I use screws to attach to roof. I have no guttering, etc. to work with. Appreciate all the help I can get 🙂

If the home is made of metal, you may have issues with signal strength. Let us know if outdoor cameras have problems staying connected to the base.
