e. , a camera scene, and a button top 706 sits on a front surface of the doorbell camera and receives a user press for activating a remote chime device. In some implementations, the device housing 702 is mechanically fixed onto the mounting plate 800 when a first fastener structure 806 located at a front surface of the mounting plate 800 is fastened to a second fastener structure 726 located at the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702. In a specific example, the first fastener structure 806 includes a snap fastener configured to lock onto the respective fastener structure 726 of the device housing 702. The mounting plate 800 may further include a first hole 908. The first hole 908 may be located on or in proximity to the raised edge of the mounting plate 800, allowing a release tool 912 to access the first hole 908 when a flat portion of the rear surface of the mounting plate 800 adheres to the mounting surface.
