security box

Need security box to place camera outside (like a box to screw in wall)

If I place my camera outside it will be stolen without a security/safety box

Pretty simple idea, dont know how Arlo wizzes did not come with that up

Just remember the detection on Arlo/Arlo Pro/Arlo Pro2 will not see thru glass ( glass blocks the neded ir ).

Front must be a type of plastic

For a couple of dollars each I fashoned mounts using plastic electrical boxes. Drilled out a section on one of the ends to allow the front of the camera to slightly portrude through the hole. Then for positioning I glued together and fashioned some window shims to get the proper angle. The shims screw to the wall or to the wood of the eaves of my house. The cameras are screwed to the shims. While not entirely theft proof it is a PITA to remove the cameras as I also use a combination of different screw heads. 

I had an example with pictures in the Idea Exchange, but I can no longer find the post. While slightly ugly, the mounts are very secure.

Would be helpful if you developed a security box in which your camera could be locked inside. Also have it that you could secure it to a tree with straps and a cable, just like they have for trail cameras.
