I was recently setting up my Ring Stick Up Cam, and I wanted to ensure that the camera’s view was pointing in the right direction.
I wasn’t sure how to do it, but after some research, I figured out how to rotate the view on my Ring Stick Up Cam.
In this article, I will share with you how to rotate your view on your Ring Stick Up Cam so that it captures everything just as you want.
So let’s get started!
How to Rotate View On Ring Stick Up Cam
Follow these steps to rotate the view on your Ring stick up camera.
Rotate With App
If you want to use the rotation feature on your stick up cam, ensure that you have a tilt mount for your Ring outdoor cam.
With this mount package, you can plug the camera outdoors in any kind of weather and monitor your house better with 360° rotation.
And this mounting bracket requires a connection with a standard indoor/outdoor standard wall plug. Either, you can buy a battery pack instead of the adapter.
Here are steps to connect the camera to the tilt mount:
- Bring your Ring stick up cam, remove the mount and then the battery.
- Then insert the pan cam-tilt mount and battery into the stick-up cam battery compartment.
- Plug the power adapter into the tilt mount and the other end into the power outlet.
- Next, open the Ring app on your phone; it will ask you to “switch wired mode” you can tap on it.
- Due to changing the camera mode, you’ve to set up the camera again.
- Tap Next and follow the on-screen prompts until set up finishes.
- It will ask you to test the rotation your self whether it is working.
- Now you have the option to tilt your camera in 360 orientations.
However, to make this setup easy, I have a video below that you should watch to set up your Ring stick-up cam.
Follow the steps to rotate the camera:
- Open the Ring app and then select the live view of the camera you’ve installed.
- Here you will see the rotate icon at the bottom right corner of the live view screen.
- Now you can press the arrow buttons from the screen to rotate the camera side by side, up and down, just with a few clicks.
Rotate Manually
Besides the tilt mount, you can rotate your Ring stick up camera manually; you will need to buy a flexible mount.
Here are steps to rotate the stickup cam manually:
- Connect the camera to the app
- Then remove the mount and battery cover from the back of your camera.
- Put the new flexible mount back on and twist it.
- Hold the camera lens and rotate left, right, up and down directions.
- Now, you can rotate the camera view with your manually in any direction you want.
- Then place the camera where you want.
Ring App Not Showing Rotations Controls
You should try a few solutions when you have installed the ring tilt mount for the Ring camera but are not getting the controls to rotate the camera.
Update Ring App
If your Ring app is not showing the rotation option under the live camera view, you should check that your Ring app is running on the latest version.
An outdated app version will be the reason for this issue; you should install the latest Ring version on your phone to resolve this problem.
Here are steps to update the Ring app:
- Open Google Play Store
- Search for the Ring app

Yes, Ring cameras can be rotated, but the Ring stick up cam does not have this option. You can rotate your Ring camera by using the app.
Open the Ring app and go to the camera live view that you want to rotate. Then select rotate, and rotate up, down, right or left using the controls.
