It might be hung from the ceiling, a wall, or a bookshelf.

The base should be turned around so that the long side faces the front if you intend to mount it on a shelf or table. The Ring stick-up security camera will then need to be tilted downward. Set your Ring stick up the camera’s “open lock” indicator so that it faces the battery cover at the back. To lock it in place, push the cover on and turn it clockwise.

However, if you plan on installing your Ring stick-up cam on a wall or ceiling, you will need to remove the base of your security camera by unscrewing it with your screwdriver. Then re-attach the base to the back of the Ring Stick Up Cam with the “UP” racket pointing upward. Then remove the mounting bracket by sliding it from the base of the Ring Stick Up Cam.

Place the bracket on your wall, making sure that the “UP” arrow is pointing up, and mount it using the mounting screws that are included. The groves on the base can then be used to direct the bracket’s hooks. The security cam can then be secured to the wall by sliding it down.

Once you’ve adjusted your Ring stick-up camera to the ideal angle, check the view from the Ring app to make sure it looks good. After that, align the battery cover and the “open lock” sign on the back of your Ring stick-up camera. To lock it in place, push the cover on and turn it clockwise.
