    I got the Ring 2nd gen Doorbell cam.

    Are the screws provided intended to be used in wood?

    Using a screwdriver to sink them in, it feels like the door is screaming out in pain, not to mention the last few millimeters are proving kind of stubborn.

    Perhaps it's possible to just use smaller screws than the ones provided?

    The depth of the screw goes almost exactly 50% depth into the thickness of the door...... so it's a thick enough door.

    Anyone mounted one of these cams and how did you find mounting the bracket on your door to work out?

    PS - you think my landlord would have beef with me sinking 4 screws into the front door of his rented accommodation?

    In physics we trust....

    Whether your landlord has a problem with it , I imagine you will find out soon enough. Try and convince him its a deterrent to a potential intruder against breaking in the door. It would have been easier of course to ask him before you fitted it. If its screws are 50% of the door thickness, then thats probably a 25mm screw. If its hard going, then a small bit of soap on the screw will make it easier if you dont have a cordless screwdriver.
