A very useful device. I repackage mine into custom application cameras however anyone should find them useful. I don't know how sturdy a plastic mounting bracket would be regarding vandalism so you should be sure to mount them out of reach. The unit is lubricated with some sort of Silicone grease so don't handle it and then rub your eyes. My weather was quite cold when it arrived so I used the opportunity spin it around when it was outside connected to a NVR. Even at about -25C it moved fine. Shipping was the usual fast and accurate from HLong Asia.
