No Way to Tighten Floodlight Cam Lights Into Position No Wingnuts Anymore
hardwired-security-cameras

I have a wired flood light cam that is the newer design that doesn't have the wing nuts on the neck to tighten the floodlights into the desired lighting position like the old-style floodlight cams did. When the wind blows hard my flood light position gets moved. Yesterday I found them pointing directly straight down into ground instead of out into my yard. What is the remedy for this? I don't see any set screws or wingnuts anywhere on the neck to tighten these. Appears to be a bad design.

      Make sure to Take the original hardware with you to the hardware store to match up the bolt diameter to use.

    You could find a stainless steel bolt replacement and add the wing nut with flat washers to support your camera head by going to a local Ace Hardware Store. It is a modification easily done. Make sure to put all your hardware in a plastic bag or an old pill container for safe keeping. I might do the same thing actually. Makes it easier to adjust and tighten by hand.
