Why does my dummy camera stop looking secure after a while?

If a dummy camera starts to feel less secure over time, the mount or fixing point may have loosened. Check it as soon as you notice movement, because a loose unit can fall and may no longer look convincing.

1. Test for movement

1. Gently touch the housing and mount to see whether it rocks, tilts or rotates too easily.
2. Observe whether the position changes after a small bump or vibration.

If it moves too easily, the fixing needs attention.

2. Check the surface and fittings

1. Look for stripped screws, worn plugs or a surface that is crumbling.
2. Make sure the mount sits flat and that nothing is bent.

If the fittings no longer hold, the original mounting point may be unsuitable.

3. Reinstall only if the parts are intact

1. Refit the product using a stable surface and suitable hardware for that surface.
2. Do not overtighten, as this can damage plastic parts.

If the product becomes firm again, the problem was likely installation wear.

4. Stop using it if it cannot be secured

Stop using the product if it keeps loosening, drops from position or the mount is cracked. Do not continue to use a fixture that can fall. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased. Product data: 10.016.07, 10.016.08, generic troubleshooting.
