Mounting The Ring Wired Floodlight Cam PRO Under The Soffit/Eave
I bought the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired PRO model, and it needs to mount on the soffit/under the eave, not on the wall.There is less than adequate info, either in the installation book, online, or after calling Ring Support (they didn't even know what a soffit or eave was...sigh) on exactly how to do this, and get the camera angle right.While the lights can swivel into a good position for lighting the target area, the camera cannot swing up enough and points down too low to cover the target area. I have searched Google, YouTube, Reddit, and all I find is some older instructions on how to hack the camera mounting for an older version of the Ring Wired Floodlight Cam PLUS, not the current version of the PRO.Seems this is like a really major design flaw, and Ring is just ignoring the issue--has anyone got ideas on how to get the camera to move up a bit more, so it's not pointing too low. Just FYI, I have 0 options on mounting it on the wall, due to house design in that area.Thanks!

Hey neighbors, you can locate the installation instructions for the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro here. Other neighbors in this thread have shared different DIY solutions if you are unable to properly mount your Floodlight Cam in your desired mounting location. We do recommend being careful with any third-party mounts or accessories, as we can't guarantee they will be compatible or allow for the safe installation of the Floodlight Cam.

UMaybe ring should actually address the issue then rather than ignore the fact that many people want to mount their camera to the soffit area rather than the side of their house. All the flood light mount locations on my house are under the eaves. I have not bought any of theses for toward because Ring chooses to ignore the needs of those of us that need an eaves/soffit mounted solution.Very unhelpful comment from Ring employee…

Try going into settings and edit your motion zone rather than trying to adjust the camera.

Several of the comments says to flip it around and adjust the camera view. We did that and it worked until it rained and one of the lights got water in it and does work and the other light keeps going on and off even when there is nothing to trigger the light to come on. Ring really needs to make an undermount for eaves or an extension to change it from a side mount to an undermount.

There are several things you can do. The easiest is getting a soffit mount - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1444151-REG/speco_technologies_o4d6wm_wall_mount_for_o4d6m_o8d6m_vldt6m.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2MWVBhCQARIsAIjbwoPnhe1kEocl9i8VDSqi9w_DX0XVfy-0ZLtkUXKdiuXo3TXh_suE77AaAhI2EALw_wcB
