Installing on a wall or ceiling

2. Mark the wall or ceiling for screw placement. Use the mounting plate as a guide to mark screw holes on the wall or ceiling.

• For wall mounted installation

  , the UP arrow should be pointed up.
• For ceiling installations

  , the UP arrow should be pointed away from the area you want to monitor.

3. Place the camera on the mount.

• For Indoor Cam (2nd Gen

  ), pivot the base to the back of the camera, and slide it down into the mounting plate.

• For Indoor Cam (1st Gen)

  , unscrew it using a standard Phillips-head screwdriver (not included). Reattach the base by screwing it into the back of the camera with the “UP” arrow pointing up. Slide the camera down onto the mounting bracket.

Step 4: Plug in the power cable

1. Insert the USB power cable into the back of the device.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet for power.

Caution: Use only accessories supplied with your device or specifically marketed for use with your device. Use of third-party accessories may impact your device’s performance. In limited circumstances, use of third-party accessories might cause damage to your device or the third-party accessory. Read all safety instructions for any accessories before using with your device.

When this device is plugged into an electrical socket-outlet, unplugging this device will disconnect it from the AC mains supply. Only plug this device into an easily accessible socket-outlet. Devices with a power cord must be located near the socket-outlet.

Your device does not have an on/off button. If you wish to stop power from flowing into your device, unplug the power cord. Do not plug multiple electric devices into the same wall socket. Overloading a socket can cause it to overheat and may result in a fire.

If the adapter or cable appears damaged, discontinue use immediately.

Open Live View in the Ring app to make sure the camera is positioned to view the area you want to monitor. You can adjust the view by rotating the camera on the base.
