Ring Video Doorbell Elite (1st Gen) Spacer 0.5”–2.5” + Optional Hood | PoE Flush-Mount

Overview

 

Bring the Ring Elite out from a recessed or obstructed mounting location for a cleaner view and a cleaner install. This custom-depth spacer by Hidden River Lab is designed specifically for the discontinued Ring Video Doorbell Elite (1st Gen). It spaces the doorbell off the wall to help clear side obstacles (brick returns, trim, narrow recesses) and can be ordered with an optional rain cover / anti-glare hood.

Important: This product is for the older, discontinued Elite model, not the newest Elite release.

Fit & Measurements

→ Please choose your depth based on your surface and clearance needs. If you want help selecting the right depth, message us with a photo and the approximate recess depth.

Why You’d Use This Spacer

 

▪︎ Improves camera view in recessed installs: Moves the doorbell outward to reduce side blockage from brick or trim

▪︎ Cleaner mounting on difficult surfaces: Helps when the original location is too tight for a flush install

▪︎ Custom depth for your situation: Choose the spacer depth that matches your recess and clearance needs

▪︎ Optional hood available: Adds rain protection and reduces glare in challenging lighting

Installation Notes

 

Basic tools required (e.g., screwdriver).

▪︎ Test-fit the spacer and confirm clearance before final mounting.

▪︎ Weather-seal as appropriate for your surface and environment.

▪︎ For best results on uneven surfaces, ensure the mounting area is flat and stable.

If your install is unusual (deep recess, angled trim, brick returns), message us with photos and measurements. We will help verify fit.
