Ring - Indoor Cam Plus, Plug-In, Retinal 2K for enhanced video quality, 4x Zoom, Low-Light Sight for color in near dark - Black

The 4x zoom and Retinal 2K resolution provide a very clear picture. I specifically like the Low-Light Sight feature for maintaining color in the dark. Great for keeping an eye on the apartment.

Great camera motion works great definitely a great buy

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!
