How to hang things on vinyl siding - Install security camera, solar panel, motion sensor & more!

[@dgoebel57]

Thank-you, I was pondering ideas for hanging bigger items and your adjustable lower keyhole bracket was an excellent solution! I have metal siding and don't want to drill holes to mount my cameras and solar panels. Kudo's for coming up with some great solutions!

[@daniel1117]

Hey just wanted to let you know. I bought and installed the mini solar panel (and the one used in this video) used in your original solar panel video. Works a treat charging my doorbell couldn’t be happier. My question is the solar panel used in this video, SUNYIMA 6V 10W. It has 2 usb outputs, but if 2 cameras were connected would it split the output to 3v each per camera? The cameras say 5v minimum required for charging. So I’m just wondering if I’d need to buy a 12v solar panel with 2 usb outputs available?

[@daniel1117]

Really appreciate any help, your videos have been a huge help and inspiration for my project

[@FrakkingCreations]

The 2 USB PORT solar panel I used will split the current with the voltage remaining the same. With enough sun, the voltage will be around 5V while the current will be split. I'm just not sure if it's a 50/50 split of the Amperage or some other ratio between the 2 ports.

[@JeremiahK]

Very informative! Where can I buy the same keyhole brackets that you guys use?

[@FrakkingCreations]

Thank you for commenting. You can get them at your local home hardware store. In Canada you can get them from Home Depot.

[@ShamimHafiz]

A different question, ignoring the cosmetic flaw, can scratches/holes from these installation cause damage to the slides in the long run?

[@FrakkingCreations]

There won't be any holes on your siding since there is no drilling. As for damage, there typically shouldn't be any damage if installed correctly. I could imagine that if the siding of the house is really old, there may be a chance that the vinyl could crack or a piece could break off when you insert the hangers or hang something too heavy. I just haven't encountered that though.

[@danyo41]

If you don't want to watch the whole video... the hack is to just bend the top of the clip a bit with pliers. Good video if you have not seen these before, but I have and was mostly just interested to see what the "hack" was.

[@FrakkingCreations]

Thanks for commenting. We do provide a chapter that our viewers can click on to get to the hack part of the video, if interested.

[@veliromn]

Thanks! how is this holding up during winter months, cold, snow? Afraid my blink with light might fall off...

[@FrakkingCreations]

No problems for the security cameras, motion sensors or solar panels. All still holding up nicely since they were installed and the video was published.

[@michaelwittman1935]

Do you have anything for mounting a tesla mobile charger to exterior vinyl siding. Im looking for something like a kit with cable wrap and charger pocket that I can mount externally on the side of my house.

[@FrakkingCreations]

Sorry, I don't know of anything else like that. These are general vinyl siding hangers that work for most things that are within the weight ratings of the hangers.

[@jeffn1524]

A quick question, was wondering if you think it would hold a 10 pound outdoor speaker if I used two and also do the hack?

[@FrakkingCreations]

I can't say for 100% sure because everyone's vinyl siding is different and if older or worn, it may not hold well. That said, you could always try using 4 hangers with the hack. You could attach the speaker to a piece of square or rectangular board that the speaker can attach to and then the board would attach to the hangers. Make sure you are testing it out properly before actually hanging the speaker on it. You don't want it to drop and damage it.

[@AnthonyS.1]

Do you know if these will work with the ring spotlight cameras?

[@FrakkingCreations]

Since I don't have one I can't say for sure. But if your mount has 3 or 4 holes to put screws into, I believe it should work. If it only has 2 vertical holes then you will need to use something like what I did for the solar panel since the bottom vinyl siding clips won't align with the hole in the mount. Does that help?

[@AnthonyS.1]

@@FrakkingCreations the ring mount has two on top and two on bottom .. you think using two of these on top and putting a screw and nut on bottom would hold it?

[@FrakkingCreations]

It should be the other way around. The vinyl siding clips should be attached to the mount at the bottom. The nut and bolt should be at the top. I believe it should hold but you will have to test since I don't know how your siding is and other variables. And if needed, you can do the hack I suggested to hold more weight. Lastly, if the above doesn't work well, you can always mount the camera mount onto a small wooden plate then attach the plate to the siding. Hope that helps.

[@AnthonyS.1]

@@FrakkingCreations great thanks for the info ! How long were the screws you used about 1 inch?

[@FrakkingCreations]

@Anthony S. You're welcome. Iirc they were around 3/4" length.

[@jmel23515]

How is is a camera mounted this way for a thief to just rip off and take? Any tricks for getting a poe cable to the camera?

[@FrakkingCreations]

This method does not easily prevent someone from taking the camera off by twisting it off. A camera installed this way should be installed higher up to prevent easy reach.

[@MiltonOntarioNetwork]

Will this hack work on my aluminum siding?

[@FrakkingCreations]

I am not sure since I don't have aluminum siding to test on.

[@Cyndracula]

Can these be used on metal siding as well?

[@FrakkingCreations]

I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with metal siding that is designed similar to the vinyl siding shown in the video. Maybe if the metal siding is designed the same way as these vinyl siding panels that come in sections and are snapped in place together then it may work.

[@mikidabong526]

Where can I buy it in Edmontin

[@FrakkingCreations]

I'm not sure. I have links in the video description to buy these online.

[@waynevalentine7523]

Where do you get these brackets

[@FrakkingCreations]

Check the video description. I listed it there.

[@ellaboobella8770]

Do these work with Reolink Argus 2 cameras?

[@FrakkingCreations]

I'm not 100% sure but these will usually work with cameras that have mounts that have screw holes for mounting.

[@ellaboobella8770]

@@FrakkingCreations Thanks. I did have a look yesterday and it appears they will work, providing the cameras won’t be too heavy.

[@FrakkingCreations]

I do think you will find that it will work as it looks like your camera has 2 holes for mounting. That means 2 clips/hangers. I can't imagine your camera weighing more than 1 to 2 lbs each.

[@karlagil2819]

I got them but the didn’t work for my ring floodlight

[@FrakkingCreations]

Can you share what caused them not to work with the Ring floodlight?

[@JulysAngel69]

Weirdest thing, trying to view video, hear voice, and if scrolling can see images, but if just let play, screen is black and see nothing 🤔

[@FrakkingCreations]

That is strange. Maybe you need to restart your device or perform updates on the KZbin app or browser.

[@hereUgrow]

Do these work for composite siding too?

[@FrakkingCreations]

Not sure. I don't have composite siding to test on. I would guess that if the composit siding is designed to lock together like the vinyl siding then it could work.
