Question

Has anyone mounted the Ring doorbell directly to the brick moulding where the doorbell was? Was this wide enough? What did you do?  

Answer 1

A Pro barely fit mine. It’s a little twisted. But worked out ok.

@grub is there a gap back behind it?  

---

The angle it puts it at actually helps get the brick out of the view of the camera.  

---

@grub cool

---

;) We have the same sign. lol

---

@mystery710 it was getting bad here. I know people are trying to do their jobs. But, it was almost everyday.  

---

We've had the sign for a couple years. ;) A lot less times for the dogs to "go off" now. oy lol

Answer 2

Yes. I did have to make a small wooden shim to have it sit flat as the storm door frame overlaps. I also used a wedge that came with the kit.

I have a storm door too. Thanks for sharing the picture!

@explosive5 I plan on caulking and painting it this year.  

---

I'm going to see if someone can 3D print something maybe.  

Answer 3

I should have gotten the ring pro

Comments

@rettarettig4 why? Smaller?  

---

@explosive5 you can’t tell from this angle, But the ring is hanging off and only half the camera is mounted to the wall

---

@rettarettig4 I saw that when I made to photo bigger

---

@explosive5 the Ring pro is not as wide as the other doorbells. I had to return the one I got and buy the pro because my door frame is narrow

---

@excurvature I think even the pro is wider than your door frame

---

@rettarettig4, contact Ring about their upgrade program. some people have posted in here how they talked to Ring and were able to pay a fee to upgrade from a RVD1 or 2 to a pro.  

---

@pentosan53231 I’ll try. They still owe me a refund for the doorbell solar charger

---

@rettarettig4 don’t back down, give em hell if they’re not honoring what they said.  

Answer 4

I did and used the angle mount back plate that came with it.  

Answer 5

We did. My husband cut a block of wood to position the doorbell past the brick. We now see the entire porch.
