Install a wedge or corner mount

The camera in the doorbell has a field of view pointing straight out from the mounting surface. If the image does not capture the view you want, a Wedge offers 5° vertical tilt (up and down), and a Corner Mount offers 25° horizontal tilt (side to side). These accessories come in black or white to match your doorbell.

How to Install the Wedge or Corner Mount

Check the doorbell view and placement by pressing the doorbell button, and then in the Blink app, tap the notification you receive to enter Live View.

While in Live View, you are looking out of the doorbell camera. You can adjust the position and location to get the view you want, before drilling into your wall.

The included drill template works for the mounts and the doorbell.

1. Drill mounting holes.

Tape the template in place approximately 40 - 48 inches (102 -122cm) above the ground. If you want to use the wiring from a doorbell you already have, place the template so that the wires will reach through the central open area of the wedge.


2. Mount accessory then attach back plate.

The Wedge and Corner Mount accessories ship with a pair of shortened all-purpose screws. These screws are used to secure the back plate to the accessory ( ② in the image below). Use the pointed, regular-length screws to secure the accessory to your wall or surface ( in the image below). See image below for more details.

Note that the doorbell comes with two replacement terminal screws that are shorter and have very fine threads as compared to the accessory mounting screws.


1. Regular length multi-purpose screws attach the Wedge or Corner Mount to your location through slots in the accessory.

2. Shortened screws secure the back plate to attachment points molded into the Wedge and Corner Mount.

3. Attach the doorbell and test.

Once the doorbell is in place, if it has already been set up, press the doorbell button and you will receive an alert notification. Tap the notification to see through the doorbell camera and make sure the view is what you want. If you have not set up the doorbell yet, visit Setting up your Blink Video Doorbell‍.

If you have set an Activity Zone or Privacy Zone, be aware of how they have been affected by the change in camera view. You may have to re-set the Activity or Privacy zones.
