I've ordered a few 3D prints from the STL files. Picking them up today. My intention is to use the printed mount plate in addition to the 15 degree wedge that was in the box. I might have to sand the flat visible surfaces of the mount plate.. not sure yet, but will find out soon enough.
FYI... when originally perusing 3D printed mounting plates I noticed in addition to ordering different angles (which is understandable) some designs also included varying degrees of able "
tilt". I don't know if they had the Reolink DB in mind when making their designs but I didn't pay much attention to it ... I wish I had. My old YouSee Doorbell had a 15 degree wedge and it worked fine letting me see what I needed of my front door area so when I ripped it out and installed my Reolink I just used the included 15 degree wedge that came in the box. Finished the install, it looked professional and I was happy... ah err... until I viewed the video image. Problem was (for me anyway) the entire top 1/3 of the entire image was showing the ceiling off my front porch! Yes, the Reolink was perfectly plumb as was my old DB... but as it turns out the vertical "field of view" with the Reolink is way larger than my old DB. I wish I had captured a before picture but didn't think of it. Anyway, I pulled down the Reolink and had to cut away some door brick moulding and slightly modify the mount so I now have a full 1/4" tilt "down" from top to bottom. It's better but I still see too much of the overhead for my liking (I'd rather see more of the porch floor) I'm not keen on tilting it down anymore (it's bad enough that I have to get out some touch up paint to fix where I had to cut and caulk my hatchet job in an attempt to tilt the camera down) NOTE: The porch photo is showing the view "
after" I tilted the camera down.
FYI: The DB is mounted on the door frame 52" up from the floor (which at the time was recommended for better face detection) . Yes... I I could lower the DB but the Ethernet cable is where it is and it has no slack (besides lowering would mean aonther patch job)
Please excuse the poor quality of the porch photo... in my interest of getting this reply posted quickly I simply snapped a picture of monitor with my phone. Not looking for a solution just providing my personal experience.
