I have a Ring 3+ doorbell cam that I installed on my porch that has a roof over it so NO sun and runs on batteries! I bought a RING solar panel ($50) and a generic gutter mount and cut the end off the USB end the solar panel to expose the (2) wires I wired this directly to the back of my Ring 3+ doorbell and guess what? It charges my doorbell cam and keeps it topped off! Ring now has solar panels made for doorbell cams but I needed something before this happened! Happy with the Ring 3+ doorbell with hacked solar panel as I've been using it now for over well over a year+. I picked the "generic" gutter mount for less than $20 on Amazon and works great for me! I also upgraded to the Ring Pro hub which allows backup cellular failover for all devices in the event of an internet outage which happens quite a bit in my area. This is GREAT for me as my SmartThings stays connected and other devices I choose and still have internet access. Yes! It's $20 a month instead of $10 a month but the backup cellular is worth it for me and my stuff still works!
Great tip about using it as a wall mount, I've bought one to mount my stick-up cam & solar panel on a gutter, I might get another so I can have a cleaner-looking installation for my wall-mounted spotlight pro & solar panel.
Great video as always. I just wish you would have showed the different degrees the camera could be adjusted side to side. Hopefully a future review will show it. 🙏 This is one item I will consider purchasing.
Thanks for this video and in depth review, your videos are always super informative! I ordered one today as one of my solar panels is getting no sunlight where it is currently
How heavy is the camera and solar panel? Is there any chance that a plastic guttering could crack under the weight? I’m renting my place and don’t want to damage her guttering. Also which solar panel are you using? The 1.9 Watt or the 4 W?
This is the older 2.4 watt that I showed in this video. As to weight, there is some weight to it but the best place to install it is as close to the gutter support so that it will not wobble or break the gutters.
@@artieartya I would think so, based upon the length of cord they provide, just wasn't sure if another piece was needed besides that which comes with the kit. Thanks. 😀
I would also like to know if the mount comes in black, as I can’t find it anywhere. Also is this mount compatible with latest cam pro and gen 2 solar charger?
How does the camera hold up to uv and rain exposure? I was considering this but only gutter mounting the solar panel and putting the camera under the eave to protect it. We get 20-40 mph winds sometimes and worried camera will shake too much if gutter mounted
nice! could get this solar mount support the weight of a 50 watt panel centered in the middle on a cross beam on the backside of the frame? 50 watt panels are typically around 1 square foot area
Or just buy the new *4K Eufy Cam 3 Solar* cameras! Here Ring is all of a sudden coming out with solutions they should have had available long ago. But they were making too much $$ off of selling extra batteries. My new Eufy Cam 3 as well as their new Door Bell Smart Lock combo arrives next week, bye bye Ring devices. Next, I'm awaiting Eufy's second Gen house security system, hopefully that's on the horizon.
@@artieartya - Not with built-in solar options you didn't. An addon solar panel, yes. My gripe is with the extra accessories LH is showcasing here, those extra things to make the bulky solar panel placement more convenient, this should certainly have been an option thought of long ago to help sell more of Ring's solar panels, but instead selling extra batteries for swapping out when needed made more mullah for Amazon. This product in particular seems rushed to keep one within the Ring ecosystem. I can't blame them, they're losing ground to the competition. Hopefully Eufy will continue to hit it out of the ballpark with first to market products and innovative solutions & devices. Now if they last 5+ years before breaking down, I'll be over the moon. We'll see, I'm always open to give criticism and praise if deserved either way.
Uh-oh brother, You forgot one essential pro tip (12:40 - 12:45); as you attach the stick up cam, you failed to show the cameras rotating range. Have a look at your vid at 12:40. This is exactly where I would put mine, however, I only want to see strictly alongside my house. Can the camera be turned to record alongside the gutter all the way down the house? Get back to me ASAP. Thank you.
So what do you do if your gutters have a cover like the Leaf Gutter system. You won’t be able to screw it down since you can’t get under the cover on the gutter. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for this video. The picture instructions that came with the gutter mount were useless. You really made the process easy!!
Thank you! Bought a used setup that didn't have instructions. Your video was very helpful
Glad it helped!
I just got my mount brand new, with directions, and still watched the video! 😂 Good stuff!

Side to side.there is only about 45 degrees range on either side. I wish it was 90.
@@LifeHackster Thank you 🙏
Do they have some sort of attachment where you can turn the camera 90 degrees from the gutter bracket mount?
Wow, this great. I wish they thought of this before I “Jeri-rigged” my solar panels to my deck.
Thanks for this video and in depth review, your videos are always super informative! I ordered one today as one of my solar panels is getting no sunlight where it is currently
Looks easy to install.. lets see it in that hot texas heat after 1 year.. do a recap on this product..
that's pretty sweet I might get that on my gutter

Thank you so much! My solar panel was not fitting because of the plastic part that needs to be removed!! Lol
Does it facilitate mounting the solar panel on the gutter AND the camera on the wall?? Thar would be first choice for me.
Yes it does. And the cord is pretty long to be able to give you more distance if needed.
@@artieartya I would think so, based upon the length of cord they provide, just wasn't sure if another piece was needed besides that which comes with the kit. Thanks. 😀
You can just use this to mount the solar panel above your gutters and screw in your cameras somewhere else. You just need to do some wire management.
@@LifeHackster Thanks, that was my presumption but wanted to ask.
Does this ring gutter mount come in black, seems like it should.
I would also like to know if the mount comes in black, as I can’t find it anywhere. Also is this mount compatible with latest cam pro and gen 2 solar charger?
Love these things!!! Got two one front one back. Can’t wait to get two more for sides. Waiting for new spot light cams but do they connect same way??
I will check but I have a feeling that the new spotlights are designed to fit these mounts.
Thanks for sharing.
You bet
How does the camera hold up to uv and rain exposure? I was considering this but only gutter mounting the solar panel and putting the camera under the eave to protect it. We get 20-40 mph winds sometimes and worried camera will shake too much if gutter mounted
Any plans on reviewing the new google wired doorbell? Holding off on purchasing until I hear what you have to say 😅
Yes, I am currently testing it. Thanks.
Salamat kuye
Have you compared this mount to the Wasserstein mount?
Thanks for the review. I was holding off on buying this however it seems a good solution 👍🏻 and, I think I’m first! 😁
How has the gutter mount been holding
Working good. I have the new Spotlight Cam PRO and their new solar panel on it currently.
The best is Eufycam 3
nice! could get this solar mount support the weight of a 50 watt panel centered in the middle on a cross beam on the backside of the frame? 50 watt panels are typically around 1 square foot area
You probably can but you do need to rig it so that it will hold the panel. It only have the slide in bracket and not 1/4 20 thread mount.
@@LifeHackster yeah thats true. custom hardware or adapter would be needed
Does anyone know if this will work on the end of the gutter or just the front side of it?
Do you use Ring’s Motion Warning Feuture?
Mine survived, hurricane Ian
From saudi 👍
Nice
How can we use it with leaf guards
I ask the same question, bet you didn’t get a answer.
What are the odds of this thing falling off the gutter during bad weather?

Ring has had this for years actually. I had this for three years now personally.

Yup I upgraded to Eufy as well. No monthly fees with 2k and now 4k video. No brainer for me, ditched my google nest cam batteries.
How long will it record?
Can I use this with an aftermarket solar panel?
I'm in UK and the gutter pipe is much wider...
Too bulky and an eye sore lastly not for everyone (leaf guard) if the wall mount wasn’t included.

Ring is so far behind now it’s not even funny. Sad to see honestly.
