Adding stick up cam

light-settings

I have a ring smart light floodlighting outside in the middle of our garage facing the street. I’m gonna add a stick up cam and was wondering what is the best position to place the camera? Should I place it above the floodlight or below it? I’m not sure how it affects the quality and was wondering how if anyone can advise. Thanks

Hi @Adviner. We have a great [Community post](https://community.ring.com/t/where-to-place-indoor-and-outdoor-security-cameras/32241) that discusses different placement options for your cams. Since you already have a floodlight in place, it may be best to place a Stick-Up Cam to the left, or right, of the Floodlight. Placing it above or below, could potentially conflict with the motion detection of both units. I hope this information helps!

My camera goes offline constantly even with a wifi extender close by. Do I need to return my camera?

Hi @Gumby1979. What is the RSSI of your device. This [Community post about RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) will explain the importance of this value and how it relates to your camera. This is the most common cause for a device not performing as it should. I hope this helps!
