The video provides a detailed guide on installing a Ring 2.0 doorbell, focusing on addressing a unique installation challenge. The creator begins by pointing out the need to angle the doorbell correctly since the original placement faces a wall. Using a provided wedge doesn't fully resolve the issue, necessitating the purchase of an additional wedge from Amazon, which requires modification to align with the Ring bracket. The installation process involves drilling new holes, removing the existing doorbell, and ensuring sufficient wire length. The creator installs a mounting plate and an angle piece, reattaching the hinge for stability. Emphasis is placed on flexible wiring, ensuring the doorbell can be positioned and angled precisely. Finally, the speaker completes the setup by securing the unit and its cover, achieving the correct view for effective monitoring.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses installing a Ring 2.0 doorbell provided by his friends at Ring. The challenge he faces is that his current doorbell points towards the wall, requiring him to install the Ring doorbell at an angle using a provided wedge. He notes how the wedge included with the Ring product levels the angled slats but doesn’t fully solve his problem because the doorbell still points sideways. To achieve the necessary 55-degree angle, he purchases an additional wedge from Amazon. He explains that the hole patterns on the wedge and the Ring bracket don’t match, so he plans to modify the wedge by drilling new holes to align both components. This customization will allow him to mount the doorbell at the correct angle, ensuring a proper view of any activity outside his door.

In this segment, the person is installing a ring doorbell. They start by drilling holes that align properly and checking that the hole patterns match. They then remove the existing doorbell and confirm there is plenty of wire length to avoid needing jumpers. They proceed to clear the wires and attach a mounting plate using 1 and 5/8 inch wood screws suited for hardiplank, which saves time compared to using anchors for concrete. For clearer filming, they temporarily unhook the hinge. The person attaches an angle piece over the wires and bolts it in securely. After reattaching the hinge, they place the doorbell unit, using a provided screwdriver to install the bracket that holds the ring device.

In this part of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to install wiring for a doorbell. They explain that it doesn’t matter which wires are used initially, but if the doorbell doesn’t ring, it may need redoing. After finger-tightening the screws, they highlight a feature where measurements allow for choosing the desired position and angle for the installation. They use a provided small screwdriver to secure the bracket with screws, ensuring it stays in place. The final steps involve completing the setup process and installing the cover, resulting in a ring pointed in the desired filming direction.
