I just mounted some yesterday at a similar height and they work great.

Hi, I hope someone can help.I’m in a row of houses and thinking about putting my floodlight cam under the eaves of the house - which must be about 7.5m (25ft) from the ground//Two quick questions...1) Is that too far?2) How best can I focus the floodlight to just my driveway and avoid too much disruption and light bleeding on to my neighbours property (as their bedroom is at the front ) ?This support page encourages you to put the came up higher, but perhaps I’m a little too much :slight_smile: https://community.ring.com/t/device-tips-floodlight-cam-placement-and-height/126

Hi @nodecentral. Yes, I believe that 25 ft. is too high for the Floodlight cam to be mounted. The ideal mounting height is 9 ft. The higher you mount it, the less effective the motion detection will become. There is also adjustments that can be made on the Floodlight to manage where the lights are pointing. I hope this helps.

Many thanks @Tom_Ring What Ring product would you recommend I use at that height, one that would allow me to cover the front of my house ?

Ring’s own instructions for the Floodlight Cam say “Don’t be afraid to mount your Floodlight Cam high. It will capture clear video of visitors’ faces and cover a wide visual area. You’ll be more likely to capture the events you want to know about and be notified as soon as they happen.”
