Not as cool or complex as the dual camera mount, but figured I'd make a post on my recent 3D printing project.

Seen this on a site where a professional company installed cameras on a shop. I have run into this issue myself many times installing.

My solution, purchased a cheap 3D printer on sale, designed a part using Onshape and started printing.

After a few prototypes and revisions, this is what I came up with. Now with 30% infill and a 6.5hr print.

Beautiful!
What did you use for the black, squishy gasket between your mount and the metal siding?

You got a printer TO do the project? That is some next level initiative.
lol, not really. I've always wanted one and when I seen the Ender v3 on sale for $200 Canadian I decided to get one. I am also printing lots of cool toys for my 7yr son, plus some packout mods. It's never ending, Wishing I got into this years ago.

Awesome work! I've been wanting to 3D print an angled base for mounting PTZ cameras like the SD22204UE-GN. The tracking is a little off when mounted to a soffit with about a 10 degree angle. I haven't been able to find a Dahua or other manufacturer mount that allows this.

Check this site out. They have exactly what you need:

@CanCuba - Awesome find. Thank you for digging this up. Now I need a 3D printer!
