Let me start by saying this mount is a game-changer for anyone paranoid about doorbell theft (like me!). After my neighbor's Ring got stolen, I knew I needed extra protection. This bracket delivers with its anti-theft screws - no more worrying about quick snatch-and-grabs.
The installation was surprisingly simple. I used the 3M adhesive option on my smooth door frame, and it held like concrete. Pro tip: Clean your surface thoroughly first! The adjustable angle (0-135°) let me perfectly frame my porch without blocking the motion sensor - crucial for catching those pesky package thieves.
Now the not-so-perfect bits: The instructions could be clearer, especially about aligning the camera. It took some trial and error to avoid triggering setup mode accidentally. Also, while the adhesive works amazingly in cold weather (survived Chicago winter!), I'm keeping an eye on how it holds during summer heatwaves.
Compatibility is great if you have newer Ring models (2020+), but double-check your version - some older Blink users reported fit issues. The plastic feels durable though, and the weatherproofing has kept my doorbell dry through heavy rains.
Final verdict? At this price point, it's fantastic peace of mind. Just be patient during installation and maybe keep a screwdriver handy for adjustments!
