Let me start by saying this no-drill mount solved my biggest rental dilemma: installing a video doorbell without angering my landlord. The metal bracket feels like a fortress for my Ring Doorbell 4 – thieves would need to break down my entire door to steal it!
The installation was laughably easy. I had it secured on my inward-opening apartment door in under 5 seconds (yes, I timed it). The thick plastic grips with padding held my doorbell snugly, though friends with Roku cameras mentioned removing some foam for a perfect fit.
What surprised me most? The 360° protection actually works. I tested it by trying to wiggle the doorbell out from outside – impossible unless you unscrew the mount from indoors. The adjustable height (3.7’’-5.1’’) accommodated my neighbor's Blink camera too.
Two minor drawbacks: 1) It won't fit external storm doors (clearly stated but worth repeating), and 2) One user reported battery drain issues after two months - though this seems device-specific rather than a mount problem.
Pro tip: Measure your door thickness (1.18-2.2 inches required) and camera dimensions carefully. My building's weirdly thick door almost caused issues until I realized the hinge-side installation trick mentioned in reviews.
After six months of Amazon deliveries and pizza pickups captured perfectly, I'm buying a second one for my back door. For $20, this is hands-down the best rental-friendly security upgrade I've made.
