Q. I have a standard model Ring Pro. Is this the right cover to use?
A. If you have a Ring Pro other surface-mounted video doorbell, then no, this is not the right version. The big center opening in this cover accommodates advanced video door bells, like some models of the Ring Doorbell Elite, that install pushed inside an electrical wall box rather than just on top of a wall with a larger cover (that might overhang the box cover a little bit). These full-featured all-in-one camera doorbells may be priced over $400 and have bulky housings that will be partially recessed into the electrical box. The front half will sit on top of the cover. They will not have a separate installation bracket because they are designed to mounting into a standard wall box instead of just sitting on top of a flat part of the wall. Standard camera door bells need a flat, solid surface (instead of an opening) to drill through for attaching the mounting bracket .

Q. How can I tell if I have purchased the basic doorbell type?
A. If your new smart doorbell has is flat on back and has a separate mounting bracket that must be mounted to the wall before attaching the video camera part itself, then it most likely is the regular version.

Q. I saw a blog post where someone mounted a Ring Pro behind this cover. How would I do that?
A. If you want a DIY project and are handy, you can create a metal subplate for holding your Ring Pro in place behind the cover opening. You will have to determine the depth of the subplate. Note that the opening on this cover (when used without the center ring) is close in size to a Ring Pro, but not an exact match. Models change, so be sure to measure your version to see if it will work for your application.

Q. Do I have to measure my screw distances?
A. Yes. There are several common screw spacings (4", 4.5", 5.25", 6.25", 6.58") on vintage models (NuTone, TekTone, M&S, etc.), so it is important to double check distances by measuring from CENTER to CENTER between the mounting screw holes.
