Step 4: Set Up the Camera in the App

Open the Ring App. Tap “Set Up Device.” Choose “Security Camera.” Follow the instructions on the screen. The app will ask you to scan a QR code. This code is on the camera or the box. Point your phone’s camera at the QR code. The app will detect it.

Step 5: Connect to Wi-Fi

Now, you need to connect your camera to Wi-Fi. The app will show you how. Make sure you are near your router. Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password. The camera will connect to the Wi-Fi.

Step 6: Pick a Spot for Your Camera

Think about where you want to put your camera. It should cover the area you want to watch. Make sure the spot has a good Wi-Fi signal. You can use the app to check the signal strength.

Step 7: Install the Mount

Hold the mount against the wall. Use a pencil to mark where the screws will go. If you are installing on wood, you can use the screwdriver. If you are installing on brick or concrete, you will need a drill. Drill holes where you marked. Insert the anchors into the holes. Then, screw the mount into the wall.

Step 8: Attach the Camera

Place the camera on the mount. Make sure it clicks into place. Adjust the camera so it points where you want. Use the app to see the camera’s view. Make sure you are happy with the angle.

Step 9: Test Your Camera

Go to the app and check the live view. Make sure you can see the area you want. Walk around the area to test motion detection. The app will notify you if it sees movement.

Step 10: Adjust Settings

You can change the settings in the app. You can set motion zones. This means the camera will only look for movement in certain areas. You can also set the sensitivity. This means how easily the camera will notice movement. Play around with the settings until you are happy.
