Using adhesive strips to stick the camera to the wall
Step 1: Gather the Right Adhesive Strips
Firstly, ensure you have the correct adhesive strips for your Nanit camera. The Nanit Wall Mount comes with black adhesive strips, but some users have reported that these strips can damage paint when removed. As an alternative, you can use Command strips, which are designed to be easily removable without damaging walls.
Step 2: Prepare the Wall
Before attaching the adhesive strips to the wall, it is important to ensure the surface is clean and dry. If you are mounting the camera onto a wall with wallpaper, consider using painter's tape as a backing for the adhesive strips, which can help protect the wallpaper when you need to remove the camera.
Step 3: Attach Adhesive Strips to the Camera
Peel the backing off the adhesive strips and attach them to the mounting points on the back of your Nanit camera. Ensure that the strips are securely attached and follow the instructions provided with your chosen adhesive strips.
Step 4: Mount the Camera to the Wall
Carefully position the camera on the desired location on the wall and firmly press the camera and adhesive strips onto the surface. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Step 5: Adjust the Camera Angle
Once the camera is securely mounted, you can adjust the camera angle as needed. The grey knob near the top of the stand can be used for this. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the angle, and then turn the knob clockwise to tighten.
Step 6: Test the Camera
After mounting, test the camera to ensure it is securely in place and functioning properly. You can also use the Nanit app to confirm that the camera is detecting the wall mount and has switched to the correct mode.
Using adhesive strips is a simple and effective way to mount your Nanit camera to the wall, providing a clear bird's-eye view of your child's sleep space while also ensuring the safety of your little one.

Removing the camera from the wall without damaging wallpaper
To remove a Nanit camera from a wall mount without damaging wallpaper, you can try a few different methods. One option is to use a sharp knife to cut behind the adhesive strips, separating the adhesive from the plastic piece, and then roll the adhesive off the wall. This method ensures that the wallpaper is not damaged and has been successful for some users.
Another option is to use painter's tape. Apply the tape to the wallpaper and then attach the camera to the tape using heavy-duty Velcro. When you need to remove the camera, simply peel the painter's tape off the wall. This method may be useful if you don't want to risk the adhesive damaging your wallpaper.
Additionally, you can try using a hairdryer, heat gun, or blow torch to melt the adhesive without damaging the wall. Gently apply heat to the surface while scraping off the adhesive. Be cautious and avoid overheating, as this may damage the wallpaper.
