Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can, I just did it. The camera swivel articulation is currently favoring wall mounting. Fully loosen the ball/socket screw that anchors the camera head to the swivel arm, ensuring adequate room for the ball stem in the camera head to "pop out" of the base socket. Pop the camera head out and rotate it 180 degrees and "pop" it back in - best to have the base on a solid surface when you pop the head back in, it does require pressure to re-insert. Angle the camera head all the way up, you will get more vertical lift with this change - don't forget to re-tighten the ball/socket screw. The light articulation is adequate and can be adjusted accordingly, however the slight "hood" over the top of the light cavity isn't 100% perpendicular with the ground, but it's really negligible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.After viewing the installation video and reading all the comments I believe the correct answer is "it was not designed to go under the eve". In some instances it may work, and others maybe not. The installation video clearing says to NOT mount it under an eve. Ring, please modify this product or produce one that CAN be mounted under an eve. Under is where all my existing flood lights are located. Disappointed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have mine mounted on the underneath of the eve and it works well. You have to loosen the lights and camera to adjust them to correct viewing and lighting angles. It takes a few minutes but it works.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can be mounted on the soffit under the eave. Everyone told me it couldn't be done and I took that as a challenge since I had the mount and wiring already there from the old security lights I was replacing. There were 2 1x2's nailed to the wood soffit underneath the aluminum soffit "siding" materials and I simply removed that short section of the aluminum siding from the soffit area and used a package of wooden wedge shaped spacers that are meant to be used to square up a window or doorframe when installing them. You can buy these at any good hardware store. I glued 3 of these wedges together, found 3 others that were about the same thickness and glued them together also. I then nailed these wedge shaped pieces to the existing 1x2's with the thick ends facing the outside of the eave. This mounted the RING floodlight cam at an angle and it also made the top of the motion sensor horizontal as the instructions state and my camera works great. In a more perfect world there would be more adjustment on the angle and/or they would make available an angle mount for this purpose just like they do for the doorbell. You just have to use a little ingenuity when they say it can't be done. The camera not only shows my property but you can also see the neighbors houses across the street.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When I called the tech support I was told the device can only be installed on the wall. Please let me know whether it can be hung from the ceiling?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Eddying, Yes. The lights and camera lens on Floodlight Cam are fully adjustable, so you can mount the device at an angle or under an overhang and manually adjust the lights and camera to find your ideal setting.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just mounted mine upside down, but it wasn't optimal. Basically, to get any proper angle, you will need to put the "top" closer towards the wall, and the "bottom" facing outward. This will allow you to adjust the camera out, but it will also move the lights more to the sides of the camera, not above and slightly behind the camera as intended. Still have a pretty good angle of vision; could have probably rotated for a little more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.no this camera cant be mounted under an eave unless you want it pointed almost straight down and limiting the adjustment i have tried every way imaginable and i am completely dissatisfied with this camera i bought it on line from best buy and i am going to return it i read where several people said you could mount under the eaves it has to mount on the side of the wall to be able to adjust this camera thats a fact
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.https://youtu.be/Xu_7yPY7y7w There's always a way, but the initial design wasn't built to do it.
