Mostly I'm talking Hikvision and Dahua, lets say I wall mount a Hikvision camera then down the line the camera fails and I want to change to a Dahua camera or vice versa whilst keeping the original mount. I am reluctant to drill more holes into my house wall, I'm talking about customisation of one manufacturer's wall camera mount to mount another make of camera.

I've already made a junction box for a dome camera. If I'd used the manufacturer’s mount it would have obstructed a PIR controlled security light. I'm quite prepared to drill and tap a camera mount to use another manufacturer’s camera, priority here is also weatherproofing.

Has anyone customised a camera mount?
