What a Proper Ring Doorbell Installation Looks Like

When it comes to Ring Doorbell installation, the difference between a DIY job and a professional install is night and day. As the Ring Doorbell Installation Guy, I’ve seen it all: crooked mounts, exposed wires, weak Wi-Fi signals, and even doorbells falling off the wall. That’s why I wanted to show you a real-world example of a clean, secure, and fully functional Ring Doorbell installation done the right way.

The Customer’s Problem

A homeowner in Orange County called me after their Ring Doorbell wasn’t recording properly and kept falling offline. The previous installer had used the wrong screws, mounted the doorbell on uneven stucco, and didn’t test the Wi-Fi signal strength. They were frustrated and ready to give up on the product.

My Professional Process

Step 1: Evaluate the Mounting Surface

I started by checking the mounting location. The wall had textured stucco, so I used a leveling mount to create a smooth surface and ensure the doorbell sat flush.

Step 2: Secure Mounting and Wiring

I used heavy-duty anchors designed for stucco and replaced the old screws with the correct ones. I also checked the transformer voltage to ensure the Ring had proper power.

Step 3: Optimize Angle and Signal

I added an angle mount so the doorbell would capture more of the walkway and package drop-off zone. I also tested the Wi-Fi signal strength and helped the customer move their router to improve connectivity.

Step 4: Test and Train

After installation, I walked the customer through the app setup, showed them how to adjust motion zones, and made sure everything worked as it should.

Before and After Comparison

The transformation was dramatic. The doorbell now sits straight, is firmly secured, and works flawlessly. No more missed packages or offline notifications.

Why Professional Installation Matters?

A Ring Doorbell is only as good as its installation. If it’s loose, angled wrong, or underpowered, you’ll miss important motion alerts or have poor video quality. A pro installer saves you time and ensures everything is set up the way Ring intended.

If you want your Ring Doorbell installed right the first time, I’m here to help. I specialize in fixing bad installs and getting your system working perfectly.

Do I need special tools to install a Ring Doorbell?

You’ll need a drill, level, anchors, and a compatible screwdriver. Most DIY kits include basics, but pros use better-quality fasteners and mounts.

Can you install Ring Doorbells on stucco or brick?

Yes, I regularly install on stucco, brick, wood, and vinyl. The right mounting technique depends on the surface.

What if my Wi-Fi is too weak at the door?

I can test your signal and recommend solutions like a mesh extender or router placement change to improve your doorbell’s performance.

Will a Ring Solar Panel Work at Your Home?

Tired of Charging Your Ring Camera All the Time?

If you’re constantly having to recharge your Ring camera, you’re not alone. Many of my customers ask me if a solar panel will help—and the answer is yes, in many cases. A Ring Solar Panel can keep your battery-powered camera topped off using sunlight, so you don’t have to manually charge it as often. In this post, I’ll explain which Ring Solar Panel options are available, what works best, and how to install them properly.

Which Ring Solar Panels Are Available?

Small Solar Panel (USB‑C)

This is a 1.9 W panel that’s great for sunny locations and light-to-moderate camera activity.

Super Solar Panel (USB‑C)

This larger 4 W panel charges faster and is better for high-traffic areas or places with less direct sunlight.

Compatible Ring Cameras

Make sure your camera has a USB‑C port. These solar panels are compatible with:

Supported Models

Stick Up Cam Battery (USB‑C) – Spotlight Cam Plus and Pro Battery (USB‑C) – Outdoor Cam Battery

How Much Sunlight Do You Need?

To get the most out of your Ring Solar Panel, you’ll need: – 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day for the Small Panel – 2–3 hours per day for the Super Solar Panel

Mounting Tips

  • Point your panel south (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere)
  • Use a tilt bracket to adjust for the sun’s angle
  • Avoid shaded areas like under eaves or behind fences

Do Clouds or Rain Affect Charging?

Yes. Heavy clouds or rain can slow or stop charging temporarily. While the panel can still pick up some light on overcast days, it won’t be as efficient. If your area gets frequent cloudy weather, go with the Super Solar Panel.

Do You Still Need to Charge the Battery?

Usually not if the panel is getting plenty of sun. In ideal conditions, your battery should stay charged indefinitely. But if the camera is recording all day or the panel is in partial shade, it may not keep up 100% of the time.

Mounting Options for Solar Panel and Camera

Ring sells mounts that let you install your camera and solar panel together in tight spaces, on poles, fences, or rain gutters. These mounts make it easier to angle everything for sunlight while keeping your camera view where you want it.

Popular Mount Types

Gutter mounts – Pole mounts – Corner mounts – Wall & eave brackets

Should You Hire Someone to Install It?

Installing a Ring Solar Panel is usually simple—but placing it correctly makes a big difference. I help customers figure out the best mounting location, handle the wiring, and make sure it looks clean and works well.

Will the Ring Solar Panel work in the shade?

No. It needs direct sunlight for at least a few hours a day to charge effectively.

Can I use it behind a window?

No. Sunlight through glass isn’t strong enough to power the panel.

Do I still need the battery?

Yes. The panel keeps the battery charged, but doesn’t replace it.

Which panel is right for me?

The Small Panel is fine for low-activity areas with lots of sun. The Super Panel is better for shady spots or cameras that record often.
