Adjustable mount for Chuango/ERA/MiGuard HD security camera

I had to adjust the angle on one of my home security cameras, but the bracket that's in the camera would not tilt down enough, so here is an adjustable one.

There's also a base with holes for wall/furniture mount. Just bear in mind that you may want to use a >50% infill for extra strength.

I've now updated the Top side with a shallow ø76mm recess so the camera clips safe onto (if your printer calibration is ok), or you may want to add some double-side tape (or Blu-tak) for complete piece of mind.

For the hinge it needs a normal M5x25 (or 30mm) socket-head bolt and one hex nut.

I've redesigned the tabs so they're bigger than usual and are specular, for better strength and they slide perfectly with each other, unlike what you'll find in many other designs which are very fragile and don't fit well (ask me how do I know...).

Print with the base down and use supports, with Cura I use "Lines" with 15% density and it's ok to remove the supports. You may want to use a low-density raft if you do't have a removable plate, to avoid damaging the parts when removing from the build plate.

No need to overtighten the bolt when assembling, the hinge makes good friction in its own.
