First off, let me say this mount is a beast. The carbon steel construction feels like it could survive a zombie apocalypse. My old plastic bracket always made me nervous—like one strong wind gust would send my Blink doorbell flying. Not anymore. This thing wraps around the doorbell like armor, and those anti-theft screws? Genius. Though fair warning: if you're as clumsy as I am, do yourself a favor and install it over a towel. Dropping those tiny screws on hardwood floors is a nightmare.
The foam padding is a small detail that makes a big difference. No more wobbly doorbell footage when the UPS guy slams the package down. And can we talk about those 'No Soliciting' stickers? I didn't know I needed them until they came in the package—now my front door looks like Fort Knox against salespeople.
Installation was stupid easy. I went with the 3M tape option (apartment life) and added extra VHB tape just to be safe after reading reviews. Three months in, and it hasn't budged—even during that crazy hailstorm last month. The vents keep my doorbell from overheating, which was a problem with my old setup during summer.
Only gripe? They should include spare security screws. That tiny screw is the linchpin of the whole anti-theft design, and losing it would be disastrous. But overall, this mount turned my Blink from 'nice-to-have' to 'essential home security.' Even catches snow at perfect angles so my lens stays clear—who knew winter-proofing could be this simple?
