Mounting Ring Intercom with double-sided tape or screws
Once you have followed the steps in the Ring app to setup and connect your Ring Intercom wires, it is time to mount your Ring Intercom. You can use either the included double-sided tapes or screws, based on the surface of your wall. Follow the steps below to mount your Ring Intercom according to your preferred mounting option.
Mounting Ring Intercom with double-sided tape
Your Ring Intercom comes with double-sided tape on the back for easy installation.
Note: Do not mount your Ring Intercom until you have completed the wiring and you know the device’s exact location, as the double-sided tapes cannot be reused.
Important: Double check the condition of your walls before applying the tape. The surface should be smooth and flat. We recommend installing your Ring Intercom with screws if your wall is:
- Textured or porous
- Covered by VOC finish
- Covered by wallpaper
- Covered by paint that’s not cured
- Covered by non-stick paint
- Made of uncovered brick, Styrofoam or foamed materials
- Aged or delaminated
- In an environment with a humidity level above 80%
- In an environment with a temperature below 0 degrees celsius or above 35 degrees celsius
If your wall meets any of the above conditions, use the screws to mount your Ring Intercom instead, by following the instructions below.
