So I just put up a IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 with a PFA130-E junction box. I thought the phillips head screw would lock the camera lens in place but it only locks the camera to the mount. Is there no way to lock the camera lens from freely moving?

Nope, as you discovered the phillips head screw just locks the base. That camera mount has to be the worst idea anyone from Dahua ever had.

It's exactly the same with my ASE S3. The old mount or rather, the mount with the screw on top is 100 times better. I have no idea what they were smoking in the office that day when they decided to put that crappy mount on the cameras.

When I purchased a couple of the newer fixed lens 5442 cameras, I kept the old base and turret cover (which still works with the newer models), and passed on the new designed plates (with the older models) to my neighbor to mess with - he got a free upgrade for one of his cameras after helping me a lot this past year :p
