I recently bought a Blink floodlight kit for my efficiency apartment. I wanted to mount it outside, but I didn't want to drill a huge hole in the block. I researched a few different options for mounting my Blink floodlight kit without the hole
- Siding hooks: You can use siding hooks to hang the floodlight mount from the siding of your house. This is a good option if you have vinyl siding.
- No-drill mounting tape: You can use no-drill mounting tape to attach the floodlight mount to a flat surface, such as a wooden fence or a brick wall.(Risky option!)
- Zip ties: You can use zip ties to attach the floodlight mount to a pipe or another object that is securely attached to the house. Get creative!
- Mount Install: Enkistar Floodlight Camera Mount
I ended up using the Enkistar floodlight camera mount, its compatible with my floodlight. It is a universal mount that can be used with a variety of floodlight cameras, including the Blink floodlight kit. The Enkistar mount is made of high-quality UL plastic materials (New model is injection molded with extra UV protection) and is weather-resistant, so it can withstand the elements.
To mount the Blink floodlight kit with the Enkistar mount, I followed these steps:
-
Attach the mounting plate to the floodlight camera.
-
Attach the Enkistar mount to the mounting plate.
-
Position the mount arm on the wall or ceiling and marked the mounting holes.
-
Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
-
Insert the anchors into the pilot holes.
-
Screw the Enkistar mounting into the anchors.
-
Attach the floodlight camera to the Enkistar mount.
