4. Setup and Installation
No specialized tools are required for installation. Follow these steps for a hassle-free setup:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Choose a suitable location on a wall or ceiling, ensuring the surface is stable and can support the camera and mount.
- Mark Drill Holes: Place the base of the mount against the desired surface and mark the positions for the three screw holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Use an appropriate drill bit to create pilot holes at the marked positions. For drywall or masonry, insert the expansion pipes (wall anchors) into the pilot holes.
- Secure the Mount Base: Align the mount base with the pilot holes and secure it firmly using the provided screws.
- Attach the Camera: Gently press your Blink camera onto the mount's quick buckle until you hear a 'click' sound, indicating it is securely attached.

5. Operating and Adjustment
The FATKITT camera mount offers versatile positioning to achieve your desired viewing angle:
- 360° Swivel: The mount allows for a full 360-degree rotation. Loosen the adjustment nut slightly, rotate the camera to the desired horizontal angle, and then tighten the nut to secure it.
- 90° Tilt: The mount also provides a 90-degree vertical tilt. Loosen the adjustment nut, adjust the camera's vertical angle, and then tighten the nut.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FATKITT camera mounts:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mounts periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly check the mounts for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening, especially if installed outdoors. Ensure all screws remain tight.
- Battery Replacement: When replacing camera batteries, carefully detach the camera from the mount. While the attachment is designed to be secure, exercise caution to avoid undue force during removal and reattachment.
7. Troubleshooting
- Camera not attaching securely: Ensure the quick buckle mechanism on the camera aligns correctly with the mount's attachment point. Apply firm, even pressure until a 'click' is heard. Do not force the connection.
- Mount feels loose after installation: Verify that the screws are fully tightened into the wall or ceiling. If installing into drywall, ensure the expansion pipes (wall anchors) are properly seated.
- Difficulty adjusting angle: Loosen the adjustment nut slightly before attempting to swivel or tilt the camera. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the nut firmly to prevent slippage.
