I have the Abode home security system which includes a motion sensing camera. The camera is designed to be mounted on a flat wall or into a corner with an angled adapter. I did not want to fix the camera to a wall but instead wanted to set it on a table or mantle. The camera design will not stand up on a flat horizontal surface so I designed this holder to position the camera in an upright position on a flat surface. I intended to Velcro the camera to the stand but, as it turns out, the friction fit between the sidewalls of the stand is sufficient to hold the camera in the stand and to adjust and hold its vertical angle as needed.
