I wanted a outdoor wall mount for an Amcrest IP8M-T2599EW turret camera... thats this camera, https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/amcrest-4k-8mp-outdoor-ip-camera/ ok, not realizing these things aren't interchangable, I bought a bracket that I thought was the right thing, and its a very nicely made mount, but its for a smaller camera with a 110mm OD and 4 screws on a 100mm circle, or 3 or 4 screws on a 85mm circle. Well, the amcrest IP8M-T2599EW is 123mm OD, and has 4 screws on a 70mm circle. arrrrrgh. So I ordered a Amcrest AMCPFB203W mount, https://amcrest.com/amcrest-wall-mount-bracket-for-dome-cameras-amcpfb203w.html which specifically says its compatible with the IP8M-T2599EW and yes, its the right 110mm OD, but..... IT DOESN"T HAVE FOUR SCREW HOLES ON THE 70mm CIRCLE, wtf. it has 3 sets of 3 holes, all on larger circles, like 84mm, 98mm, 110mm. this has been an exercise in frustration.
