Ring Video Doorbells are a popular home upgrade now that deliveries have become more prevalent in our daily lives. The product comes with a back plate, which is the part that you’ll attach to your house. The doorbell mechanism then fits onto this plate. Before learning how to install a Ring Doorbell on vinyl siding, decide if you’ll mount the unit at an angle. The kit comes with wedges that allow you to adjust the camera by 5, 10, or 15 degrees. Angling the camera downward prevents it from recording everything on a nearby street.
