Ring Cameras
See who’s there from anywhere.
Ring’s video doorbells and cameras connect to your home Wi-Fi and the Ring app, so you can see and talk to whoever is at the door, get alerts when there’s motion, and check the driveway from anywhere. They’re popular for good reason. The installation, though, is where a lot of DIY setups disappoint.
Battery units need charging at the worst times. Hardwired units need the right power: doorbells rely on a compatible doorbell transformer, and floodlight cams replace an existing exterior light on a properly mounted box. Shingle and clapboard siding, brick, and stucco each need their own mounting approach to stay weather-tight.
We install and service Ring video doorbells, floodlight cams and stick-up cams, replace undersized doorbell transformers, add exterior boxes and power where there isn’t any, and aim cameras so they cover what matters without filming your neighbor’s living room.
“He was on time. He was knowledgable and explained everything very well. He was friendly, helpful and efficient. He finished everything in one day even though he had to go and get a part, which he did very quickly. I was very pleased.”

Good to know
Good to know before you mount cameras.
Check your Wi-Fi where the camera will go. Exterior walls, brick and long distances from the router weaken the signal, and a camera with a poor connection misses events and drains batteries. We check signal strength at each location and can recommend where a mesh node or extender would help.
Think about what each camera needs to see. The front door, the driveway and side entrances are the usual priorities. Aim for faces and approach paths rather than broad views of the street, and adjust motion zones so passing cars don’t flood your phone with alerts.
Respect your neighbors. Point cameras at your own property, set privacy zones where views overlap a neighbor’s windows or yard, and check local rules if you’re in a condo or association. It keeps everyone comfortable and avoids disputes.
Power beats batteries. Hardwired doorbells and floodlight cams never need a charging trip up a ladder in January. Where there’s no nearby power, we can often add a box on an existing exterior circuit.
Why it matters
Security that actually works.
A camera is only useful if it’s powered, connected and pointed at the right thing. Hardwired installs avoid dead batteries, and proper mounting keeps water out of your siding and wiring.
Visible cameras and doorbells are also a deterrent in their own right, and floodlight cams add light where you need it most.
