You can angle a Ring Doorbell camera using wedge kits, allowing for adjustments of 15, 30, or 45 degrees to optimize its field of view.
Here's a breakdown of how to angle your Ring Doorbell:
-
Wedge Kits: Ring offers wedge kits designed specifically for angling their doorbells. These kits typically include multiple wedges that can be combined.
-
Angle Options:
- One wedge provides a 15-degree angle.
- Two wedges stacked together create a 30-degree angle.
- Using all three wedges in the kit results in a 45-degree angle.
-
Installation: The wedges are installed between the mounting bracket and the Ring Doorbell unit.
-
Determining the Best Angle: The ideal angle depends on your specific installation location and what you want the camera to capture. Consider these factors:
- Sidewalk or Path: Angle the doorbell to get a better view of people approaching your door along a sidewalk or path.
- Porch Coverage: Ensure the camera covers your entire porch area to detect packages or visitors.
- Minimizing Distortion: Adjust the angle to minimize distortion caused by wide-angle lenses.
By utilizing the appropriate number of wedges, you can effectively angle your Ring Doorbell to achieve the desired viewing angle and optimize its functionality.
