A stand assembly for an electronic device includes a neck portion with a first end that holds and extends from the electronic device, a spine portion that is coupled via a joint structure to a second end of the neck portion, the joint structure being configured to provide a first rotational degree of freedom of the neck portion with respect to the spine portion, and one or more interconnect wires. The one or more interconnect wires include a first wire portion, a second wire portion and a third wire portion, the first wire portion being routed through an interior of the neck portion, the second wire portion being routed along a surface of the spine portion, and the third wire portion being routed though the joint structure from the surface of the spine portion to the interior of the neck portion.

The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for illuminating and capturing scenes. In one aspect, a video camera assembly includes: (1) one or more processors configured to operate the video camera assembly in a day mode and in a night mode; (2) an image sensor having a field of view of a scene and configured to capture video of a first portion of the scene while in the day mode of operation and in the night mode of operation, the first portion corresponding to the field of view of the image sensor; (3) one or more infrared (IR) illuminators configured to provide illumination during the night mode of operation while the image sensor captures video; and (4) an IR reflector component configured to: (i) substantially restrict the illumination onto the first portion of the scene, and (ii) illuminate the first portion in a substantially uniform manner across the field of view of the image sensor.

A mount for a device includes a housing defining an interior space and including a distal exterior surface having an aperture connected to the interior space, a fastener configured to fasten to the device and disposed about a fastener axis, the fastener including a proximal portion positioned within the interior space of the housing and a distal portion extending through the aperture, the fastener being configured to move relative to the housing along the fastener axis in a distal-proximal direction and being prevented from substantially rotating about the fastener axis, and a biasing element attached to the proximal portion of the fastener, the biasing element configured to apply a force on the fastener in a proximal direction as the fastener moves in a distal direction relative to the housing.
