Your camera can be mounted on an outdoor wall, eave, or overhang.

Remove the battery compartment cover by twisting it counterclockwise and insert the ball joint plate with the ball joint pointing up.

Remove the mounting plate.

Slide it down to remove it from the camera mount.

Install the mounting plate.

For wall installation, the UP arrow should point up. For an eave or overhang, the arrow should point toward the area you want to monitor for motion.

If installing on a wood surface, screw the plate directly into the wall.

If installing on a masonry surface, mark four screw holes using the plate as a guide.

Drill pilot holes using a 1/4” (6mm) drill bit. Insert the included wall anchors, then drive the four mounting screws through the mounting plate into the wall anchors.

WARNING! Only use the included mounting screws when securing the mounting plate.

CAUTION! DO NOT drill into your home’s electrical wiring.

Rotate the camera to focus on the area of your choice. Look at Live View in the Ring app to make sure it’s positioned at your desired angle.
