The camera is a wide angle lens so it could capture part of the person, but it most likely will not work all that well. The camera can only see what's in front of it.

It might but I had tu same issue and went through amazing and bought for $15.00 an accessory that’s called a corner kit. Unfortunately Best Buy drooped the ball there since the only accessory they have for the ring is the chime or extender. Got wishing a 2 day time frame and works amazing with my ring 2

The camera view is pretty wide so it should work but it really just depends on how your front door is angled in caparison of how people walk up to your porch.

it needs to be installed at head level.

Camera has a very wide angle very close to 180 degrees. If mounted a little to the side, it should work just fine.

Stephen · Answer

It can be mounted on the door facing but must be angled so the lens can capture the face of the person. RING sells “wedges” which allow you to mount it at an angle. The lens has a 180 degree field of view so keep that in mind when mounting.

Yes. You can set up the degree of range to detect motion on the app.

Answer

The camera has a 180 degree of view no matter where you install it as long as it’s within the view of the door.
