Can a Ring replace my round doorbell?

The scourge of porch pirates has me looking at video doorbells. The problem is I have a round doorbell that is in a wall 90 degrees to the door, and that wall is covered in decorative stone. I have not seen any example installations that replace a doorbell like I have. Can the Ring replace a round doorbell? Can the wedge adapter be used in that situation? Will the wedge be enough to deal with the 90 degree angle? Any thoughts on the stone? What alternatives are there to replacing my doorbell if what I have is just too difficult to replace?![E4107512-71EF-4005-BA14-C1F1983C5843.jpeg|3024x4032](upload://4aMLuWOh0fgjpYm4MqAiMUBBQnC.jpeg)![98B1CDD4-77C8-4F51-9F9A-2773D39D24BA.jpeg|3024x4032](upload://wC7oMJSHOkfjsRy6zoTWhU0kjr4.jpeg)

    Hi! I live in Arizona (yay Ring!) and have this EXACT same issue and so do a lot of the homes in my neighborhood. If Ring made a round version of the camera I know they’d sell a lot of them (I’d be buying 2 for my home!) Stucco with rock facing and doorbells placed in between is very common here. This is the one I use now in two spots at my residence and would MUCH prefer to switch them to Ring doorbells!https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001PO7I14/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A19SPK1U1LYAXN&psc=1Ring - please, please consider! #bigfanhereAll the best from N Phoenix!

      I replaced a round doorbell in a stucco wall using the Ring supplied wall anchors. You should be able to pull the doorbell slightly off the wall to see how big the opening is behind it. The Ring doorbell should be big enough to cover it. Not sure about the surface and the angle you are dealing with.

        Hey neighbors. I wanted to share the [No Drill Mount](https://ring.com/products/no-drill-mount-rvd3) with you! This is a great option for those hard to drill surfaces. I hope this can work for you!
