@Teresa_Z Ah, the versatile Camera Hub G3! You’ve certainly covered the essentials of its installation methods. Here’s a quick recap to affirm your points and sprinkle a bit of tech-savvy flair:

  1. Threaded Screw Support: While the packaging might not have a bracket, the Camera Hub G3 is ready to mingle with any 1/4-inch threaded screw mount you fancy. Want to show off your wall-mounting skills or perhaps create an aerial view? Just grab a compatible bracket and you’re set!

  2. App First, Then Mount: A gentle reminder from Aqara to ensure your camera is cozy in the app before committing to a more permanent spot on the wall. And remember, the Micro SD card is a bit camera-shy, so insert it when the device is off.

  3. Flat Surface Friendly: Whether it’s chilling on a desk, blending in on a bookcase, or gracing your coffee table, the G3 is quite the adaptable guest for any horizontal surface.

  4. Image Orientation: If you’re going for that high perch, don’t forget to flip the image in the Aqara Home app so you don’t end up viewing the world upside down. A small step for you, a giant leap for viewing clarity!

Installation Tips:

  • Keep within Wi-Fi’s warm embrace.
  • Steer clear of pesky electromagnetic interferers.
  • Avoid blinding the lens with direct light.
  • Ensure a clear view with no obstructions.
  • Definitely keep it indoors—no adventures in the great outdoors for this one!
