Lorex N863 wall mount

Two lower shoes carry gravity. Two fixed upper U-channel sleeves restrain the recorder laterally and fore/aft, but do not stop upward movement. Both sets screw into studs. The downward-facing connector panel remains open for cables and cooling.

The v3 package contains four brackets, a fit coupon, a STEP assembly, editable source and a dimensioned guide. The 7 mm continuous upper guide walls eliminate the former horizontal cross-ribs, while the solid lower gussets have no weight-relief cutouts. Chamfers: 1.0 mm upper, 1.2 mm lower; 0.6 × 1.2 mm at the entrances. View controls change the illustration; the downloads retain their specified dimensions.

ABS, 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.20 mm layers, six walls, 100% infill and a 5 mm brim. Preserve the packaged orientation; mounting-hole roofs use 60° slopes. Print the 15 mm-wide corner coupon first to check chassis thickness, feet and corner contact. It has no fastener hole.

1. Measure the loaded recorder, actual stud centres and clear corner contact areas. The layout assumes 406.4 mm stud centres. Check that the toes leave the fan, ports and plugs clear.
2. Locate the stud centres and install the two lower shoes level, using two wood screws per shoe. Use the specified washers and mounting dimensions in the package.
3. Install the fixed upper guides using two wood screws each. Align the enclosure with their open vertical channels and slide it downward into the lower shoes, rear ports down.
4. The upper guides restrain sideways and front/back movement without clamping. The 25 mm wall gap requires small rear guide lips. Support the cable bundle separately.
5. For removal, shut down and disconnect cables, support the case, slide it vertically up approximately 350 mm until its lower edge clears the upper guides, and withdraw forward. All brackets remain installed.

The 25 mm wall gap is a design choice, not a close-fitting wall stop. Verify ventilation and operating temperature under actual camera and drive loading; Lorex does not document this mounting orientation as approved.

The nominal loaded mass is 3.2 kg, with the entire doubled load allocated to each lower shoe independently. The static design case is 2 × 3.2 × 9.80665 = 62.76 N. Each lower shoe is screened against the whole doubled load, so the calculation does not depend on equal sharing.

That load case is a design target, not a measured safety factor. Published tests of printed ABS and temperature-dependent creep measurements show that sustained loading needs separate assessment. Short-term material strength and heat-deflection temperature do not establish a lifetime load rating.

The revised lower bearing is 14 × 53 mm with a nominal 20 mm chord. For the revised solid geometry, a simplified bending-only section estimate peaks near 0.718 MPa at the full 62.76 N design load. This excludes torsion, fastener stress concentrations and print anisotropy; it is not a bound on actual stress or a measured safety factor. Qualification still requires proof and creep tests at the measured bracket temperature.

Bambu ABS specimen data describe tested material properties; they do not rate this bracket.

Lorex specifies 375 × 327 × 53 mm and 2.6 kg excluding the hard drive. Its quick guide gives a depth of 328 mm and notes that port locations can differ from the illustration. This model uses 328 mm; the loaded mass, rubber feet, corner profile and connector clearances need measurement.

The recorder has side and underside vents and a rear fan. Lorex requires unobstructed airflow. No N863-specific numerical wall clearance or approval for vertical, rear-down mounting was found.
