Magnetic Security Cameras
Magnetic security cameras click onto a mounting plate and lift off whenever you want. No screws. No permanent fixtures. KeldCo Glass Eye uses a magnetic plate on glass with a snap-on camera body.
Click on. Lift off. Done.
A magnetic security camera has two pieces: a mounting plate that stays where you put it, and the camera body that snaps on with a magnet. You can lift the camera off to reposition, clean, or swap rooms — no unscrewing, no re-aiming, no reset. When the camera is on the plate, the magnet holds it steady.
Buying guideWhat to look for in a magnetic security camera
- Magnet strength. The hold needs to survive a bump from a cleaner, a kid, or a curtain. Weak magnets drop the camera.
- Mount plate material. Metal plates with recessed magnets outperform cheap plastic + sticker magnets.
- Repositioning. The camera should rotate on the plate so you can aim without moving the plate.
- Security (anti-theft). If the camera is inside the house, magnet theft isn't a worry. Outside-mounted magnetic cameras are a theft risk.
- Charging-friendly. Lifting the camera off to charge is easier than reaching behind a screwed-in mount.
- Surface compatibility. Magnetic plates attach to glass via adhesive or static cling, to walls via screws. Pick what suits your surface.
Magnetic security camera questions
How strong is the magnet?
Strong enough to hold the camera through daily knocks and bumps. KeldCo Glass Eye uses a recessed neodymium magnet that holds 1kg+ — the camera itself is 180g.
Can I reposition the camera without moving the plate?
Yes. The camera rotates on the magnetic ball joint. Aim without disturbing the mount.
Can someone just steal a magnetic camera?
Not if it's behind the glass. Glass Eye lives inside the house — a thief has to break in to reach it, by which point the camera has already recorded them.
Does the magnet affect Wi-Fi or electronics?
No. The magnet is passive and the field doesn't interfere with the Wi-Fi radio, your phone or a credit card held next to it briefly.
Can I use the camera without the plate?
You can hand-hold it, but it won't balance. The plate is what keeps the camera aimed consistently.
