Installation: what UK buyers need to know
Runs on a removable Quick Release Battery Pack (Micro USB charging), so it can go anywhere outside without a cable; plug-in and solar versions are also sold. Mount it on a wall or flat surface where your Wi-Fi reaches — Ring recommends at least 5 Mbps upload. Ring warns the camera may temporarily turn off in direct sun during extreme heat. If the installation needs new mains wiring or a new transformer, use a qualified electrician.
