Hello, I am looking for a solution to install a wireless Ring Spotlight Camera under our carport without drilling the carport poles. It's the classic Colorbond Carport, with squared poles (example -> https://www.lysaght.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_g…)
I know Ring has Pole Mount, but I don't think it works with squared poles 120x120mm.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Double sided construction tape, or otherwise make up a bracket that clamps onto the pole.
Thanks, is the construction tape strong enough?
Are you trying to avoid damaging the post or just not wanting to drill?
Avoid drilling the post
The Gorilla ones are incredibly strong provided the surface is clean.

Double sided tape is more than strong enough. It is used in building and construction, so will be more than strong enough for your application. Just stick with a brand name such as 3M, Gorilla, etc…
As per @omguleh, surface preparation is critical. Ensure all dirt and grease is properly cleaned prior to application.

How about using a magnetic mount?
have had good success with using 3M/Scotch Extreme Fasteners for mounting solar panels for security lights outside.
theyve never come down or had any issues since i put them up at the start of the year…removable hook & loop might be a better option than mounting tape if you need to take the cam down for cleaning or maintenance etc

Stainless strapping will never let you down in this situation. https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-197-219mm-304-stainless-…
Thanks everyone!
Drill a hole in the centre of your Ring mount, use a suitably long cable tie.
