1. A mount system for a monitoring device configured to monitor an environment from a particular perspective, the mount system comprising:
a support structure fixed to a support;
an extension arm suspended from the support structure via an alignment coupling; and
a device structure suspended from the extension arm opposite the alignment coupling and configured to house the monitoring device for monitoring, the device structure comprising a friction reduction component to reduce friction between the device structure and an interfering object that applies a force on the friction reduction component,
wherein the extension arm and alignment coupling are configured to:
permit the device structure to move relative to the support structure when an external force is applied on one of the device structure and the extension arm, and
return the device structure to a monitoring location that corresponds to the particular perspective.
