After testing this mount for weeks, I can confidently say it's a game-changer for renters who want security without drilling holes. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy in hand – no flimsy plastic here. When my door closes, the mount hugs it tightly like a protective parent.
The anti-theft design is clever but not perfect. While the steel plate and hidden screws deter casual thieves, determined ones could still access the small mounting screws. I wish it fully encased the camera like a vault. That said, it's miles better than relying solely on Wyze's adhesive tape (which fails embarrassingly fast).
Installation took me under 5 minutes – just twist the thumb screws to fit my 1.8-inch apartment door. The included foam pads prevented scratches, and everything aligned perfectly with my Wyze Duo Cam's backplate. Pro tip: Measure your door thickness carefully! My neighbor learned this the hard way when their 2.5-inch door wouldn't work.
My biggest gripe? Charging becomes a mini-project since you must unscrew the entire mount. I've created a charging station near my door with all necessary tools after fumbling twice in the dark. Also note: This won't work with Wyze's 30-degree angle adapter without DIY modifications (I used VHB tape as an extra anchor).
For $25, this delivers peace of mind that my $150 doorbell won't disappear overnight. It blends seamlessly with my black apartment door – no bulky eyesore here. While not theft-proof, it raises the difficulty level high enough that porch pirates will likely move to easier targets.
