How can I remove this from the wall? I’m having trouble figuring it out.
Typically clipped onto a base, but it’s best to first search for the name and model on oogle (based on its appearance).
Remove the front cover and you’ll find screws underneath.

Wow dude, maybe consider taking your wife out of your profile pic…
I was just trying to be funny.
Ponders whether his wife would also find it ‘amusing.’
You can do this. It’s all you need to hear.

The front panel unclips first, revealing the mounting screws beneath.
Just give it a solid tug. The front will detach.
Pull it out evenly in a straight motion.
If it’s currently under surveillance, those usually come with tamper switches to notify the monitoring center of any potential intrusions. If it’s not being monitored, there are clips located around the back panel. Simply remove them to uncover the screws securing it to the wall.
Just yank it off

I just did this tonight – pulled it straight out, cut the wires, removed the internal screws, filled the sheetrock, taped, and mudded it. Tomorrow I’ll smooth and texture it for paint.
Oh, one thing to note… that wall is actually panelling 😉
💻 oh, I totally missed that. You’re right!
