e. , tightened to the plurality of wire terminals 720, the lines extend beyond the first recess 724A, while the corresponding connections i. e. , at the plurality of wire terminals 720 do not rise beyond the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702. FIG. 8A is a mounting plate 800 configured to support a doorbell camera 106 in accordance with some implementations, and FIG. 8B is a process 850 of mounting a doorbell camera 106 onto the mounting plate 800 in accordance with some implementations. The mounting plate 800 has a substantially elongated shape that matches that of the device housing 702. The mounting plate 800 has a raised edge, and is configured to receive the device housing 702. When the device housing 702 is mechanically coupled to the mounting plate 800, the device housing 702 sits on or within the mounting plate 800, and the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702 is disposed substantially close to, or come into contact with a front surface of the mounting plate 800, allowing the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702 to be wrapped in the raised edge of the mounting plate 800. In some implementations, the mounting plate 800 includes a first open slot 802 and a second open slot 804 that are perpendicular to each other.
