Adding new Ring cameras to an existing Ring ecosystem is always nice and simple, Ring has the process down! This is the new Ring Indoor Cam Plus, it's a plug in camera designed to be used, as you guessed it, indoors. I have this one set up in our living room and is replacing a competitors camera that we've used for about 10 years. What drew me to this is the increased 2K resolution of the camera for better image capturing, better video quality and overall piece of mind. Coupled with this are real time notifications* and low-light sight as well. *the real time notifications were a little slow upon set up, but they did get better the more the camera was used and worked better when I was actually away from home, bizarrely enough! As mentioned, set up was easy, you can scan the QR code on the back from the Ring app, and if you have a Ring Chime (which we do - but you do not need to have in order to use this camera), it connected to that right away. Voice prompts along the way from both the Ring Camera and the Ring Chime made it really straight forward out of the box. Now as soon as it's all set up and connected, there will be a software update to install. This takes another minute or two, not intolerable. From there, you can go into the app and use live view to help position your camera. There are mounting instructions within the app to aid with installation, if you are not placing it on a ledge, shelf or furniture. I have this one set up on the fireplace for now, as the power cord was not long enough for me to reach the ideal location that I want it in relation to a power source, so I will need to order a longer power cable. Live view initially had some lag in it, I wasn't that far away from my router in all honesty, but a couple of times, the lag was 8-10 seconds when timed. This got better and better the more I used it, but I hadn't experienced that lag with the other Ring cameras I have in my ecosystem. The image quality is really nice, being able to zoom in further (4x zoom) and maintaining a nice crisp image is great. And the low light visibility is good as well, especially when you may have just some accent lights on in your house, making visibility for other cameras challenging. This camera performed well in lower light for me. The visuals are color, and not the 'ghost grey' looking color of older models. Motion detection works very well indeed, and notifications were prompt when it happened. You can adjust the motion detection areas within the app, so if you have a high traffic area, you can map that out of the view to lower you notification frequency, if desired. Live view is always great, it's nice to check in remotely, if you are away or just out for the evening, you can check in on pets, family members, or just the house in general, to check if you left lights on etc. Two way talk has been a feature of Ring cameras and I feel like it's gotten better with each generation. I know my Ring doorbell camera which is about 10 years old, sometimes it's hard to understand what someone is saying, but with this new Ring Indoor Cam Plus, the voices are a lot clearer through the small speaker. And for those times that you don't want to have the camera running, there is a shutter that slides over the front of the camera to block its sight and maintain your privacy, very handy indeed, however, it doesn't have a smooth action and came off in my hand when I first slid it across. I have since finessed my approach to closing it over. If you subscribe to the Ring subscription (we do) you can have additional storage and ability to save and share your video history. This is convenient for capturing moment that are longer than one week out from happening. That subscription also allows you to have more cameras in your ecosystem as well, so it's definitely worth it. Overall, the Ring Indoor Cam Plus is a great addition to a Ring camera set up or a wonderful first step into the Ring camera world! With stunning 2K resolution, color images in near-dark conditions and a really easy to use set up and interface, it makes it a no brainer to check out!

We already have the Ring cam system in and around the house; stick up cams and a doorbell, so this was just an addition to the mix. Last summer we went out of town for four days and I thought I could just use a regular Ring stick up cam and place it near my cat’s food area to see how she was doing. Well it didn’t work, it was probably just me and I didn’t set it up correctly. The camera never detected a pet. So this cam works for the “cat food” area and it’s pretty neat. I see the cat’s glowing eyeballs first and then see her walking up to her food area, so it works for me. This Indoor Cam Plus has a privacy shield, so if you don’t want it recording, just close it. I set up this cam so it doesn’t pick up audio. I might just use this indoor cam for when we go out of town, and then I would turn the audio on. You can install it with the included hardware or it can just stand on the footed base of the cam. The cord is approximately 72” long, and there is a wall plug included. The cord is a USB-C to USB-A cord, so my guess is that you could probably swap it for a different length cord if you needed to. Setup was fairly simple, as I had already set up the other cams on my system. The voice prompts are loud, and I don’t think that volume can be controlled, but it’s just for setting it up. You can control how sensitive the camera is, like how much it picks up. You can also adjust the area where you want the camera to capture video. It is fairly simple to change most things on the app but sometimes just have to search a bit. The video quality is sharp and the videos of what is actually nighttime dark look like regular daytime. This is Alexa enabled, but I don’t utilize that technology.
