How to Set Up Your Ring Stick Up Cam Battery

What You Will Need

• Ring Stick Up Cam Battery
• Ring app (iOS or Android) with an active account
• A 2.4 GHz WiFi network with a strong signal at the installation location
• USB-C charging cable (included) or Ring Solar Panel (sold separately)
• Mounting bracket and screws (included) if wall-mounting
• Phillips screwdriver or drill (for wall mounting)

Step 1: Charge the Battery

Before setting up your Stick Up Cam, fully charge the rechargeable battery pack. Connect the included USB-C cable to the battery and plug it into a USB power adapter. The LED on the battery will turn green when fully charged, which takes approximately five to six hours.

Step 2: Insert the Battery

1. Press the orange button on the back of the camera to release the back cover.
2. Slide the fully charged battery into the compartment until it clicks into place.
3. Reattach the back cover by pressing it firmly until it snaps shut.

Step 3: Set Up in the Ring App

1. Open the Ring app and tap Set Up a Device.
2. Select Cameras, then choose Stick Up Cam.
3. Scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera or on the Quick Start Guide.
4. The app will prompt you to press the orange button on the camera to enter setup mode. The camera's light will spin blue.
5. Connect to the camera's temporary WiFi network when prompted.
6. Select your home 2.4 GHz WiFi network and enter your password. The Stick Up Cam Battery does not support 5 GHz networks.
7. Wait for the camera to connect. Once successful, name the camera and assign it to a location.

Step 4: Choose Your Placement

The Stick Up Cam Battery is versatile and can be used indoors or outdoors. You have three placement options:

• Flat surface — Set the camera on a shelf, table, or countertop using the built-in base.
• Wall mount — Use the included mounting bracket and screws to attach the camera to a wall or fence.
• Ceiling mount — Attach the bracket to a ceiling for a downward-looking view.

Position the camera at a height of three to four feet for indoor use or seven to nine feet for outdoor use. Angle it slightly downward to capture faces and activity at ground level.

Step 5: Adjust Motion Settings

1. In the Ring app, select your Stick Up Cam and tap Motion Settings.
2. Use Motion Zones to define specific areas you want the camera to monitor. This helps reduce false alerts from passing cars or tree movement.
3. Adjust the Motion Sensitivity slider to find the right balance between catching important events and avoiding excessive notifications.
4. Set a Motion Schedule if you want to disable alerts during certain hours.

Tips for Best Performance

• Battery life varies based on activity but typically lasts six to twelve months. High-traffic areas drain the battery faster.
• For continuous power, consider adding a Ring Solar Panel, which keeps the battery topped up with sunlight.
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at bright light sources or reflective surfaces, as this can trigger false motion alerts.
• A Ring Protect subscription is required to save and review recorded video. Without it, you can only view live video.
