i have this wyze video door bell which is verticle in itself including wedge and mounting plate, however, my earlier door bell was CIRCULAR in shape and the screws screwed in the wall were in HORIZONTAL way…so is there a quick fix to this issue? or i will have no choice but to have my wall drilled v…

Welcome to the forums! Can you provide a picture of the proposed mounting location? That’ll help folks visualize your use case.

A picture would be great as @Omgitstony stated. But if I understand you correctly, you want to take the VDB and turn it on its side so that you can use the existing holes. However, When you turn the VDB, the image will be laying on its side. You cannot adjust the image to accommodate a horizontall…

The doorbell needs to be mounted in the vertical position if you want to view your video in the right orientation.

You might be able to tell when the existing screws are pulled I would start with a small masonry bit first until I verified the wall materiel.…

I don’t have the doorbell but if you use the wedge could you just drill 2 new holes in the wedge plastic that line up with the holes in the wall? Maybe the wedge isn’t wide enough.

Probably not going to work. The wedge has very little room for a screw on the high side (too thin) and very little screw head clearance for the mounting plate on the low side (too shallow) [Screenshot_20221110-224017-775]
