samboy Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi Gang. I have decided to buy one of these but i'm not sure which model i need. My front door is at the side of my house and looks onto next doors wall. The door is inset by about 9" so in theory if i screw the bell onto the inset wall it will be looking at the opposite inset wall. Any ideas chaps ?. Thanks all.

You'd want it to face the way that someone would walk up to your front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you can see the only place it can go is where the existing bell is which is where people would be walking up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossy 666 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have one of these and just brought the spot light version for the back garden. The picture is really good on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okrang Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can you not attach it to the frame upright of the fixed panel to the left of your door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Why not attach it to the door under the knocker. It would be at head height atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph5172 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 All I would say is go for the one you can change the battery pack on and have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weejase Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Go for version 2 or 3 and attach it to the opposite side with the angled fitting bracket. We bought the echo show as well, and use that in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbyathome Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have just got one this week a ring 3 good pictures on it if you put it where your doorbell is now if they look at the bell it will be fine if they are looking at the door as they should be all you will get is a side of the face although with the video recording it would show enough for you to see who is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbyathome Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 It is quite a wide angled shot that it takes so you could just put it where your bell is now try it and move it to the door if you don’t like it it is either battery operated of hard wired and very simple to put in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
