The hardware we install, and the kits that bundle it.

Adjustable universal wall/ceiling mount with a standard 1/4" thread that fits most wireless cameras. Cheaper than brand mounts but confirm thread fit before quoting.

Weather-rated junction box that hides cable connectors behind PoE cameras. Adds depth to the mount but keeps splices dry — worth it on every exposed exterior run.

Arlo's own screw-in outdoor mount with full swivel. Costs more than universal mounts but locks the camera positively and matches the housing.

Strap-style pole mount for fences, posts, and downspouts where drilling isn't possible. Slower to aim than a wall mount; great for rentals and temporary coverage.

Corner plate that lets one camera see down two walls at once. Cuts a two-camera corner problem down to one camera in the right spots.

Angled wedge plates that aim a Ring doorbell toward the approach path instead of the wall across the porch. Cheap fix for the most common doorbell aiming complaint.

UV-rated pre-terminated Cat6 for exterior PoE camera runs. Pre-made ends save termination time but need a bigger drill hole than bulk cable.

Short indoor patch leads for the rack side: NVR, switch, and gateway hookups. Commodity item — buy the multipack, not singles.

DC barrel extension that reaches an outlet when a non-PoE camera lands short. Simpler than relocating the camera; keep the joint out of the weather.

Outdoor-rated USB cable that turns a battery camera into a wired one from any covered outlet. Kills the recharge chore where an outlet is close.

Direct-burial-rated bulk Cat6 spool for multi-camera PoE jobs. Needs field termination, but smaller holes, exact lengths, and a far lower per-foot cost.

Single-port PoE+ injector for adding one PoE camera without touching the switch. Fine for one or two cameras; past that a PoE switch is cleaner and cheaper per port.

Fanless 4-port-PoE gigabit switch — the sweet spot for a 3-4 camera install. No management UI; step up to UniFi when VLANs or remote visibility matter.

Compact USB-C brick for charging camera and doorbell battery packs. Any decent 20W charger works; this one is cheap and reliable.

Third-party solar panel with adapters for eufy, Ring, and Arlo battery cameras. Ends recharging entirely on south-facing mounts; skip it under heavy shade.

Arlo's first-party solar panel — guaranteed connector fit and warranty-safe, at a premium over third-party panels.

Reolink's first-party 6W USB-C solar panel for their wireless battery cameras (Argus, TrackMix, Duo 2, Eco Ultra). Guaranteed connector fit and warranty-safe, but the USB-C plug only suits newer Reolink cams — older micro-USB models and other brands need a different panel.

Bench charger for two Arlo batteries at once — swap charged packs in seconds instead of taking cameras down to charge. Pairs with a spare battery.

Spare rechargeable pack for Arlo wireless cameras. With a charging station, one spare keeps every camera at 100% with zero downtime.

Swappable battery for Ring battery doorbells and cameras. A charged spare means the doorbell never goes dark during a recharge.

Lithium cells used by many alarm sensors and some wireless cameras. Lithium handles Portland winters far better than alkaline — stock these, not bargain cells.

Coin cells for door/window sensors and remotes. Pure consumable — leave a pack with the customer at install time.

Endurance-rated microSD built for continuous camera recording. Standard cards die young under 24/7 writes — always spec the endurance line.

Double the local retention for 2K/4K cameras that record continuously. The right default when the customer wants more than a week of clips on-device.

Samsung's endurance card — same job as the SanDisk line; buy whichever is in stock at the better price.

Surveillance-rated drive for NVRs — built for 24/7 multi-stream writes, unlike desktop drives. 4 TB comfortably holds weeks of 4-camera footage.

Replacement bracket for Reolink cameras — keeps a repositioning job from waiting a week on a $10 part.

Replacement gaskets and silicone seals for outdoor camera housings and junction boxes. Gaskets are what actually fails outdoors — cheap insurance on service calls.

Stainless screws and anchors sized for camera mounts in wood, masonry, and siding. Included fasteners rust; stainless doesn't streak the customer's siding.

Replacement mounting plate, screws, and security bits for Ring doorbells — the pieces that vanish when a doorbell moves houses.
