Where not to put a Ring doorbell?

Where not to put a Ring doorbell includes locations that cause poor performance, security risks, or violate privacy. Do not put it directly on door itself because door movement triggers constant motion alerts, damages wiring, and unstable video. Do not put it too high above 60 inches or too low below 36 inches, too high misses faces, too low misses head to toe and easy to steal. Do not put it where it faces direct sunlight for long periods, causing glare, overheating, and washed out video. Do not put it behind glass or screen door, motion detection may not work through glass and video quality degrades. Do not put it where WiFi signal is very weak, as it will have laggy video and missed alerts, check WiFi strength first. Do not put it in area exposed to heavy rain without overhang unless rated waterproof, though Ring is weather resistant. Do not point it directly at neighbor's private windows or into their home interior with intent to spy, as that may violate privacy laws. Do not put it on unstable surface like loose siding. Best location is wall beside front door at 48 inches height, sheltered from direct weather, with strong WiFi, facing entry path not street to reduce false alerts.
