Best Mounts for Ring Cameras: Stick Up Cam, Spotlight Cam & Indoor Cam

Ring cameras are among the most popular home security cameras sold, and the mounting ecosystem reflects that as both Ring’s own first-party accessories and a wide range of third-party options cover nearly every surface and installation scenario. However, Ring’s mount compatibility is not as universal as it first appears. Some mounts are specific to the Stick Up Cam, others cover the Spotlight Cam, and a few work across the full lineup. Furthermore, Ring’s proprietary mount connector is different from the standard 1/4″-20 thread used by most other camera brands, which means not every third-party mount works out of the box. This guide covers the best options for each Ring camera type we review on this site.

Ring Mount Compatibility at a Glance

Ring’s First-Party Mount Accessories

Ring sells several mounting accessories directly, and for most buyers these are the cleanest starting point. They are designed specifically for Ring cameras, guaranteed to fit, and available in matching white or black finishes.

Ring Gutter Mount: The Ring Gutter Mount is Ring’s own no-drill gutter solution — it clamps directly onto K-style, half-round, box, and fascia gutters without drilling and works with the Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Solar, Stick Up Cam Pro, Spotlight Cam Battery, Spotlight Cam Solar, Spotlight Cam Plus, Spotlight Cam Pro, and Ring Outdoor Cam Plus. It also holds Ring’s solar panels, making it a 2-in-1 option for solar-powered camera installs. For buyers with any of these cameras, this is the most straightforward gutter mount available — guaranteed fit, no adapter needed.

Ring Pan-Tilt Mount: The Ring Pan-Tilt Mount is motorizes the Stick Up Cam, allowing the camera to pan and tilt remotely from the Ring app. It is compatible with the Stick Up Cam Plug-In, Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd Gen), and Stick Up Cam Solar (3rd Gen) with a power adapter. This is a meaningful upgrade for locations where the fixed field of view misses coverage — a garage, a large backyard, or an open driveway where the camera needs to follow motion rather than capture a static zone. Note that privacy zones are disabled when using the Pan-Tilt Mount, and the camera requires a wired power connection to operate the motor.

Ring Stake Mount: For ground-level monitoring of yards, gardens, and pathways where wall or gutter mounting is not practical, the Ring Stake Mount pushes directly into soft ground without drilling or wall penetration. It is compatible with the Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Solar, Stick Up Cam Pro, Spotlight Cam Plus, Spotlight Cam Pro, and Ring Outdoor Cam Plus, and also holds Ring’s solar panels for ground-level solar positioning.

Best After-Market Gutter Mount for Ring Cameras

The gutter position gives Ring cameras the elevation they need to cover driveways, yards, and perimeters effectively. It also raises the camera above easy reach, which is a meaningful security benefit given that Ring cameras on standard wall mounts at six or seven feet can be reached and redirected by hand.

For the full current Ring lineup, the first-party Ring Gutter Mount above is the top recommendation. Additionally, for buyers who want a third-party alternative or need to mount older Ring models not covered by Ring’s official accessory, the Wasserstein Weatherproof Gutter Mount for Ring Spotlight Cam and Stick Up Cam is the established third-party pick. It provides 360° swivel and 180° tilt, includes a universal screw adapter for compatibility across Ring models, and the rust-resistant construction holds up well in outdoor conditions. One noted limitation: the clamp screws can be short for thin-walled aluminum gutters if your gutter has a wall thickness under half an inch, add a small wood spacer between the gutter wall and the set screws to ensure a firm grip.

Best Wall and Corner Mounts for Ring Cameras

Standard wall mounting is the most common Ring installation.  The included bracket handles most scenarios for flat wall surfaces. However, for corner installations and for situations where the included bracket does not provide the angle needed, third-party options fill the gap well.

For corner mounting the Stick Up Cam, a purpose-built corner bracket positions the camera at a wall junction for maximum field-of-view coverage without sacrificing aim on either wall. This is particularly useful for garage corners, deck entries, and property boundary positions. Look for corner mounts explicitly listing your exact Ring model because the Stick Up Cam and Spotlight Cam use different base attachments and are not always interchangeable.

For no-drill wall installations, adhesive wall mounts rated for outdoor use provide a workable alternative to drilling in locations where wall penetration is not possible. For outdoor adhesive installs specifically, the mount should be rated for temperature extremes and UV exposure as standard indoor adhesive tape degrades quickly in direct sun and temperature swings.

Best Mounts for the Ring Indoor Cam and Indoor Cam Plus

The Ring Indoor Cam and Indoor Cam Plus come with a small flat-surface stand that tilts for basic angle adjustment. For ceiling or corner mounting — useful for baby monitors, pet cameras, and living area monitoring where a corner position covers the most ground — purpose-built wall and corner mounts for the Indoor Cam are available from several third-party brands.

The adjustable wall mount bracket for the Ring Indoor Cam and Stick Up Cam is a two-pack bracket that covers both the Indoor Cam and Stick Up Cam Battery, mounting to walls or ceilings with screws or adhesive. The 360° rotation allows the camera to be aimed precisely after mounting, and the two-pack format is useful for multi-camera setups where consistent bracket hardware across rooms is preferred.

Ring Camera Mounting and Subscription Considerations

One factor that makes Ring’s mounting decisions different from most other camera brands is that Ring has no local storage option at any price. Every Ring camera requires a Ring Protect subscription for video history — there is no microSD slot, no hub-based local storage, and no free cloud tier. As a result, the placement decision for Ring cameras is not just about coverage angles. It also affects how critical the camera’s network connection is: a Ring camera that loses internet access has no recording capability at all, unlike cameras with microSD or hub-based local storage that continue recording offline.

For high-elevation gutter and soffit installations specifically, confirm the Wi-Fi signal is strong at the mounting location before drilling. Ring cameras at gutter height can sometimes sit at the edge of Wi-Fi range, particularly on larger properties. A Wi-Fi range extender or Ring’s Chime Pro can extend coverage to gutter-level positions if signal is marginal. For more detail on Ring’s subscription requirements see the Ring Protect Plan guide.

General Ring Mounting Tips

Ring includes a mounting template and all necessary screws and wall anchors in the box with every camera. The mounting template is worth using.  Hold it against the surface, mark the drill holes through the template, and drill before removing it. This ensures the bracket aligns on the first attempt.

For outdoor Ring cameras on battery power, plan the recharging process before committing to a high-elevation install. Ring’s Quick-Release Battery Pack on the Stick Up Cam and Spotlight Cam makes battery swaps faster because you remove the battery rather than the whole camera but a gutter or soffit mount at fourteen feet still requires a ladder every few months. For high-elevation permanent installs, Ring’s solar panel accessory eliminates the recharging cycle for cameras in locations with adequate daily sun exposure. The cable hiding guide covers running the solar panel cable cleanly along the roofline.
