Can you use this mount to install a Floodlight Camera?

Answer This Question

Yes. With the caveat that the model of flood light cam you are using is designed to be mounted on a standard junction box. I am using one of these to mount a Wyze cam floodlight pro without any issues.

    With the use of this siding plate, should the existing metal junction box be removed? If so, is there a fire risk?

    Answer This Question

    I think you need to use your existing junction box to attach this to but I think will need two longer threaded rods from org box to the cross bar on this. Too bad HD does not have the install inst. link to click on.

      Why would you need the metal box? It says it is an electrical box and UL.

        You can get a round cover plate and seal it using silicone caulk.

          what is the color

          Answer This Question

          This mounting block is textured and paintable, allowing you to customize the color to match your home's exterior. Several customers in the Q&A mentioned using house paint, like Behr, with good results.

          It goes good on siding, giving it a look that it goes with the structure. Good update to garage overhead light, also liked that it didn’t require an electrical box.

            Make sure you order the right part. There are different types of sidings. You have to order the one that's right for your home. You can measure the siding to give you an idea of what size you need. I purchased mine online for pickup at my local home depot.

              I picked mine up at our local Home Depot.

                Search for Arlington industries. It’s in the results. Make sure you select the right one. They have one with a flat back and another for vinyl siding.

                  Just locate it on the Home Depot website and add to cart.

                    Doesn’t fit and terrible molding
                    This claims to fit ANY siding. Well, it doesn’t fit standard curved siding. I have 1/2” standard vinyl siding built 2023 and this clearly doesn’t fit. How could it? It has flat surfaces and vinyl siding isn’t flat. So now I’ll have to fill a huge void with caulk. Also, look at this awful molding line. I expect way better from US made.

                      Perfect for mounting our exterior lights onto our newly sided house. Super easy installation and great quality material.

                      It was easy to install once I figured out that the hole needed to be drilled on edge of the fold for the siding. It would have been nice to have a seal provided

                      Works well for 1/2 lap vinyl siding. There are multiple size and style options so be sure to select the correct one. The junction box is a similar depth to a pancake size junction box so not as deep as a standard junction box. Does require caulk to insure no water but that is the case with any mounting plate. Works well for what I needed.

                      Does what you need it to do! My new porch light would not lay flat against my siding. This helped it look smooth and professional. Definitely make sure that you get the right size for your siding, as this comes in several size options.Otherwise this was very easy to install and my new light looks great.

                      This helped me tremendously attach a new porch light to an existing box that wasn’t compatible and poorly installed. It allowed me to replace the old and install what I purchased. Made it so easy, I bought 2 other ones to replace my deck lights!

                      I am sure it will work for some people but it did not fit my siding. I called the manufacturer to make sure which size to buy and it still didn't' fit.
