Model: Tapo C100  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.11

This is inspired by a previous question someone else made here a year ago in which wasn't resolved but a (presumably) tech support associate responded saying that more outcry of this issue by other members would help chances of it being acknowledged by the design teams. 

 

Recently bought a slew of C100 and C110s. Considering these are about the smallest indoor models available im disappointed in how the hardware is designed. I bought this for the sole purpose to be mounted either between a door frame and a door or a door and floorboard. The problems are a combination of the following:

 

1. DC power jack being straight and not angled which blocks the camera from being able to lay flat down (camera lens faces same direction as base foot/mounting holes)

 

2. This leg being far too short to clear the aforementioned power supplies male jack. 
 

This flaw defeats the purpose of why I purchased them. I've searched all over the internet and save for something like an overpriced 3D printed adapter from eBay, I cannot find a practical solution to this. 
 

This home ecosystem of mine is comprised of Tp-Link networking hardware and Tapo security/automation so I'd prefer to not migrate. 
 

Is there maybe a longer leg sold by this brand, an adapter, brand approved 3rd party angled power cord? I understand DC power supplies don't typically have "L-Shaped" male connectors. 
 

My question, is there is any solution to this?
