In this part of the video, the creator from ‘Life Hacks Tur’ discusses various accessories for the Nest Outdoor Cam provided by Wasserstein. They start by reviewing a quad pod mount, which includes a silicone cover with a quarter-inch screw thread at the bottom for flexible mounting options. The cover requires some effort to stretch and fit the USB plug through. After this setup, the camera slides into the cover, ensuring proper alignment with the speaker holes. The quad pod itself is versatile, allowing the camera to be positioned in multiple configurations. Additionally, the video introduces the cube mount, which can theoretically support up to five Nest Outdoor Cams, though the creator expresses concern about the practicality of this setup.

In this segment, the video discusses how the suction mount with a silicone skin and a quarter-inch screw hole can be used to mount various cameras, including the Nest Outdoor Cam. This mount is ideal for situations where drilling holes is not permitted, such as in rental properties or apartments. The presenter suggests installing the camera on a glass window at a height suitable for monitoring the front door and walkway. The Nest’s power cable, which is flat, allows the window to close and lock without damaging the cable. The setup includes routing the power cable through a plastic cord cover, secured with mounting tape, which aligns well with the window frame. The end result is a securely mounted camera with a neatly routed power cable entering the house through the window.
