Abstract
A system for repeatably mounting an image sensor to a grid ceiling comprising: a mounting member defining an upper face; a set of magnets fixed to the upper face and characterized by a height greater than a protrusion distance of the outer surface of a ceiling tile of the grid ceiling below a grid segment of the grid ceiling; a detachable registration feature transiently coupled to the mounting member, configured to align with the grid ceiling while the set of magnetics are magnetically coupled to the grid ceiling, configured to adhere to the grid ceiling while the set of magnets are magnetically coupled to the grid ceiling, and configured to detach from the upper face and remain adhered to the grid ceiling in response to vertical displacement of the mounting member away from the grid ceiling.
