Homemade Rotating Surveillance Camera Mount Tutorial252

Security is essential for any home or business, and surveillance cameras are a great way to deter crime and keep an eye on your property. However, traditional surveillance cameras are often fixed in place, which limits their field of view and makes them less effective at monitoring large areas.

A rotating surveillance camera mount can solve this problem by allowing you to pan and tilt your camera remotely, giving you a wider field of view and better coverage. Best of all, you can make your own rotating surveillance camera mount with just a few simple tools and materials.

Tools and Materials
1/2-inch plywood
1/4-inch plywood
1/2-inch dowel
1/4-inch dowel
1/2-inch wood screws
1/4-inch wood screws
Drill
Saw
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions
Start by cutting two pieces of 1/2-inch plywood to the desired size of your mount. The size of the mount will depend on the size of your surveillance camera.
Next, cut two pieces of 1/4-inch plywood to the same size as the 1/2-inch plywood pieces. These pieces will be used to create the rotating platform for your camera.
Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the center of one of the 1/2-inch plywood pieces. This hole will be used to mount the 1/2-inch dowel.
Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center of one of the 1/4-inch plywood pieces. This hole will be used to mount the 1/4-inch dowel.
Insert the 1/2-inch dowel into the 1/2-inch hole in the 1/2-inch plywood piece. Secure the dowel with wood screws.
Insert the 1/4-inch dowel into the 1/4-inch hole in the 1/4-inch plywood piece. Secure the dowel with wood screws.
Attach the 1/4-inch plywood piece to the 1/2-inch plywood piece, centering the 1/4-inch plywood piece on the 1/2-inch plywood piece. Secure the two pieces together with wood screws.
Your rotating surveillance camera mount is now complete! You can mount the mount to a wall or ceiling using the appropriate hardware.
