Why does my dummy camera keep turning in the wrong direction after I set it?

If the camera shifts after you set it, the fixing or viewing angle is not secure enough. Even a small movement can make the unit look poorly installed and reduce the intended deterrent effect. Do not force the housing or add improvised supports. fileciteturn0file0turn0file6

1. Check the mount for movement

1. Gently touch the camera to see whether the head or bracket shifts.
2. Look for a loose screw, uneven surface or worn fixing point.

The expected result is a camera that stays in the chosen position. If it moves easily, the mount is not stable enough.

2. Re-aim it carefully

1. Set the angle so the camera faces the area you want covered.
2. Retighten only enough to hold position, without cracking the housing.

The expected result is a firm but adjustable position. If it slips again, stop using it until the fitting can be corrected.

3. Review the surface beneath it

1. Check for dust, soft material or a sloping surface that lets the bracket drift.
2. If the surface is unsuitable, choose a firmer location.

If the camera cannot keep its position, discontinue use in that place and contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
