30 or 45-degree angle mount bracket
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hoping to see if it is possible to develop or create a 30 or 45-degree angle bracket for hte Kasa Smart KD110 Doorbell. I recently purchased the product, yet while I ma pleased by it, the product does seem to lack a mounting bracket that provides more visibilty when mounting the product to a wall perpendicular to the door. As it is the current mounting bracket only provides some visibility to the front of hte house when mounted in this manner. A second mounting bracket with a larger angle would provide amore visibility, and reduce a large blindspot from the camera.

Consider my setup... my front door has two walls on either side of it perpendicular to the door itself. The doorbell is mounted on one of those walls.
Assuming a 120 degree viewing angle of the camera this is what we currently have (the two drawings on the left), and what I am suggesting (in the third image on the right).
As a result when the doorbell is mounted flat it points directly at the opposite wall with the front door to the side. The opposite side of the cameras view is a partial view of the porch. The 15 degree angle, while helpful only adjusts the view slightly continuing ot leave a blind spot of hte porcha area. A second 15 degree mount or even a seperate 30 degree mount (which could be used in combination with the 15 degree mount) would greatly imprve visibility in this sceanrio.
Providing 2 options both a 15 degree mount, and a 30 degree mount could allow the user to implement the camera in 3 different setups...
1) using the 15 degree mount alone
2) using the 30 degree mount alone
or 3) using both the 15 degree in combination with the 30 degree mount, to create a 45 degree mount
...all three scenarios could accomodate various installation scenarios, and better provide visibility to the user wanting to view more of their entry.
