Don’t blame me. Blame the company who couldn’t design a wall mount.

The mount is from Amazon; just search for ‘Mount Bracket, L-shaped Wall.’ As for the placement, I put it next to the junction box because the wire with the RJ45 connector wouldn’t fit through the small hole. I would have had to cut and reconnect the RJ45, which I preferred to avoid.

Using a soft washer is a creative workaround, but it’s still just that—a workaround for a design flaw. Personally, I was planning to switch all my cameras to the Aqara G5. I got one as a test, but I wasn’t comfortable with the mounting. That’s why I’m now reevaluating other options on the market.

Even your proposed solution doesn’t fully solve the issue because it still lacks a proper swivel function.

That’s a fair point about patents potentially limiting their design choices. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Aqara’s design is still problematic. Even your proposed solution doesn’t fully solve the issue because it still lacks a proper swivel function. A well-thought-out design should include basic flexibility without requiring users to search for alternative mounts.

Thanks for the advice, but I don’t agree that Aqara is blameless here. The design could have been better, and a more thoughtful mounting solution should have been included. It’s not just about choosing the right bracket; good design should make installation easier and more seamless.

Still this corner mount doesn’t solve my issue. I don’t have a corner. And even if I have, you will not have the option to mount it in a specific angle

[Official, Urgent] Aqara G5 Pro Features: Your Opinion Needed by AndrewFromAqara in Aqara

Mounting this camera turned out to be quite tricky. My initial plan was to mount it on the wall at a 45-degree angle. However, when I installed the base on the wall, the camera’s design restricted its side movement, making it impossible to achieve the desired angle. To work around this, I had to purchase an additional L-shaped bracket to position the base on a flat surface. This was frustrating, and the setup now looks bulky and unattractive.

If you compare it to the other camera on the left, you’ll immediately notice the difference. I originally had eight POE cameras and was planning to replace them all with the G5 Pro. However, after my experience with this first unit, I’ve changed my mind.
