Q: QuestionAre the service persons available to do indoor/ outdoor installations all year? If I purchased this for Christmas will I have to find someone else to install?

Asked 4 years ago by Sleeplesswithoutcam.

• A:Answer They couldn’t install the wired Ring Security Lights I requested. So I would say no. To try and be fair and if you do order the service, be sure you ask lots of questions when you order to be sure they can do the installation so you don’t have to deal with the runaround later.

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I doubt it as that comes from the manufacturer of the camera. He's more likely to have a cat5 cable on hand (which would probably never happen) but the power comes from the camera manufacturer.
