How to remove the mounting plate:
Included installation hardware.

Use to secure the star-shaped security screw on the mounting plate.

Attach this to the wall first, then slot Spotlight Cam into the socket.
Install Screws
Use these to secure the mounting bracket to your wall.
Wall Anchors
Use these to attach the mounting bracket to your wall if installed on a hard surface, such as stucco or brick.
If installing on a wall:
Before installing Spotlight Cam on a wall, insert the mounting plate with the ball socket pointing down.
If installing on an eave:
Before installing Spotlight Cam on an eave or overhang, insert the mounting plate with the ball socket pointing up.
Install the mounting bracket.
First, mark your holes using the mounting bracket as a guide. If installing on a masonry surface, first drill holes using a 1/4” drill bit. If installed on a wood surface, you can screw the bracket directly into your wall.
If you have a Ring Solar Panel…
Ring Solar Panel charges your Spotlight Cam continuously—no need to charge or swap out batteries. If you don’t yet have a Ring Solar Panel, skip to page 17. For more info, visit ring.com.
Mark the holes.
Select an install location where Solar Panels can get at least 1 hour of direct sunlight a day. Mark the holes using the mounting arm as a template.
Install wall anchors. (optional)
If installing on a hard surface (such as stucco or brick), use a 1/4″ drill bit to predrill the mounting holes, then insert the wall anchors. If installing on wood or siding, skip this step.
Screw in the mounting arm.
Drive the included mounting screws into your wall (or the wall anchors, if installed on a hard surface) until the mounting arm is secure.
It’s easier to screw in the mounting arm before you attach the solar panel.
Attach the Solar Panel.
Slot the Solar Panel onto the mounting arm, and make sure it’s secure.
Adjust the panel angle.
Loosen the screw on the mounting arm and adjust the panel to your desired angle, then re-tighten the screw to secure your setting.
Remove the seal.
Remove the weatherproofing seal on the rear of your Spotlight Cam. Then, slot the mounting plate back into place.
Plug in your Solar Panel.
If your Solar Panel plug looks like example 1, simply insert it into the power port on the rear of your Spotlight Cam. Press the plug in firmly, until you feel it click into place. You’re all set! If your Solar Panel plug looks like example 2.
If your plug has screw tabs…
Insert the plug into the power port on the rear of your Spotlight Cam. Secure the plug with the included short screws.
Be sure to charge and insert the included battery. Ring Solar Panel charges the battery but does not replace it.
Attach Spotlight Cam to the mounting bracket.
First, fully loosen the metal collar on the bracket. Then, push the ball into the socket until it snaps into place.
Adjust the camera angle.
To ensure accurate motion detection, position the camera with the motion detector parallel to the ground.
