Camera height

Question

Ring stickup camera placement outdoors. There is conflicting info from ring. One place it says 5-7' and another as high as 9' for best results. Any input appreciated.

Hi @cherokeeman. It will really depend on the environment you're installing the Stick Up Cam in and what you're hoping to capture. I would recommend setting the Camera up in the Ring App so you can have the Live View open when you're figuring out what height you'd like to mount it at. Somewhere within the 5 to 9 foot range should be good, but once again it will depend on your environment. You can find some more tips for the positioning in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016151332-Proper-Positioning-for-your-Stick-Up-Cam-Battery), as well as read more information on how the motion detection in Ring devices works [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042728431-Advanced-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Devices). I hope this information is helpful! :)
