Wife doesn't like the look of the screw behind new doorbell camera

[Doug Garson]

Whatever you do, keep in mind that you may need to remove the camera at some time in the future if it malfunctions. What height is it at? I would expect it to be above head height so you would never see the screw. How about a little rubber ducky sitting on top?

[Zachary Hoyt]

I like both those ideas, or for the more classic look I would suggest a small but tasteful artificial flower.

[Richard Coers]

Cut a piece of wood to fill the gap and just wedge it in. Second option is to raise it up so she can't see behind it. You don't want kids ringing it anyway!

[Dave Lynch]

Yup, looks like crap. You need to remove and mount a block behind. Paint or use a piece of PVC to match trim and say ‘honey you’re right’.

[Bill Dufour]

Rubber spider, baby duck,

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or Transformer Action figure.

Cut a piece of wood to fill the gap and just wedge it in.

This what I would do. Make sure the block goes full length or you will likely make a home for spiders behind your camera which then they may give you false activations of your camera.

[Rich Engelhardt]

I think I'd just try some white paint on the screw and see if that made it blend in better.

The first option would be my choice I think. Remove the door bell, cut and shape a triangular piece of wood. Mount the door bell to the triangular piece of wood but make it as small as practical so it looks like part of the door bell assembly.
