Once you've followed the steps in the Ring app to setup your Ring Intercom and connect its wires, it's time to mount your Ring Intercom. You can use either the included double-sided tape or screws, depending on the surface of your wall. Follow the steps below to mount your Ring Intercom according to your preferred mounting option.
Mounting Ring Intercom with Double-sided Tape
Your Ring Intercom comes with double-sided tape on the back for easy installation.
Note: Do not mount your Ring Intercom until you have completed the wiring set up and you know the device’s exact location, as the double-sided tape cannot be reused.
Important: Double check the condition of your walls before applying the tape. The surface should be smooth and flat. We recommend installing your Ring Intercom with screws if your wall is:
- Textured or porous
- Covered by VOC finish
- Covered by wallpaper
- Covered by paint that’s not cured
- Covered by non-stick paint
- Made of uncovered brick, Styrofoam, or foamed materials
- Aged or delaminated
- In an environment with a humidity level above 80%
- In an environment with a temperature below 32º F (0º C) or above 95º F (35º C)
If your wall meets any of the above conditions, use the included screws to mount your Ring Intercom instead (see below).
How to Mount Ring Intercom Using Double-sided Tape
To secure your Ring Intercom to the wall with the provided tape, simply follow these steps:
- Clean the wall with alcohol.
Note: Do not use household cleaners or water. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. - Find the desired location for placement. Remove the back liner of both tapes.
Note: Avoid touching the adhesive with your fingers. - When you have your device aligned straight, press firmly with both hands and hold for 30 seconds to ensure a firm attachment.
