No, Ring doorbells should be mounted 48 inches (1.22 meters) from the ground for optimal motion detection. The camera on your Ring doorbell has a wide field of view and does not need to be mounted higher or lower to view approaching visitors. If mounted too high or too low, you may encounter inconsistent motion detection or undesired motion events. All models of Ring devices are compatible with Alexa-enabled devices. Connecting Ring devices with Alexa is a simple process. To accomplish this, you’ll need to add Ring as a Skill in your Alexa app. Once this is done, you’ll be able to use a variety of Alexa-enabled devices with your Ring devices. Alexa-enabled devices that support Announcements and Two-Way Talk on Ring devices: Echo Spot (all generations) Echo Speakers (all generations such as Echo Pop, Echo Dot, Echo Dot with clock, Echo Plus, Echo Studio and Echo Flex) Nebula Soundbar – Fire TV Edition Alexa-enabled devices that support Announcements, Two-Way Talk, and Live View: Amazon Astro Echo Hub Echo Show (all generations) Fire Tablets (Gen 7 and above) Fire TV Cube (1st & 2nd Gen) Fire TV Stick 4K Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) Fire TV (3rd Gen) Fire TV (2nd Gen) Facebook (Meta) Portal has Alexa built-in, which means you need to download the Amazon Alexa app and add the Ring Skill. Make sure your Ring device shows up in the Alexa app. If any additional information is needed regarding your questions, please reach out to our community.
