Easy Install, Easier to use.
Great cameras, especially if you get this 2-camera bundle. I've had wired cameras for several years but never any battery or solar powered ones before. These ring cameras are incredible during their setup, install and daily use. Being able to mount these virtually anywhere with just four screws (included in the box) makes the installation quick and easy. I currently have these watching the front door and front yard. Being a first-time Ring product user, the setup for both cameras took maybe 15 min total including making a Ring account. If you're already a ring user, you know the app has many features and settings that easily adjust and personalize the function of these cameras. They have more features than my traditional wired cameras, without the hassle of setting up emails and network ip addresses. Having these Ring cameras has allowed me to obtain color video at night as well as audio with the recordings. I like how easy it was to adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection and the notification frequency. Sure these don't record 24/7 but I don't expect them to. Having the ability to live-view, day or night, in color and with audio is well worth it alone. A major selling point for these cameras is the battery life. No matter what the manufacturer claims, the battery life will always depend on an individual use scenario. Mine being at the front entrance to the house, they do get a little more foot traffic than usual. I've had them last anywhere from 1 month to 3 months depending on how long I have them recording and how many times the lights come on at night. I can see having a secondary battery or even a solar panel improving the time between battery charges. If the batteries or solar panels ever go on sale, I might pick them up to try out. Regardless, I cannot recommend these enough. With an easy installation process and an App that's easier to use, these cameras truly offer great value and peace of mind. The 2-camera bundle is nice for some savings while giving you a wider area of coverage with two cameras. Can't go wrong with Ring.

Ring Cams offer excellent security
I've had the Ring doorbell and three battery spotlight cams for a month and they paid for themselves last night when a guy, that the police later told me had a very long history, drove down my driveway, parked by the garage and after a couple minutes got out and started looking around. He saw the driveway cam and immediately turned around and walked in front of his van. I was watching on the live feed so I set off the siren and he quickly left. I am thankful I bought them. There have been a lot of motion alerts that have been caused by wind or animals (especially deer) but I am glad to put up with those for the security and deterrent effect of the cams. The battery charge should probably last about two months so not bad since I bought an extra battery and they are easy to replace. My main complaint is no off switch. You can turn off the alerts but they will still be in your history. The only work around is removing the batteries if you expect a lot motion say if you're having a party. One note: the cams record for about 30 seconds of motion and then stop. However, there is lag time so you need to go to Live View. Using Live View last evening is how I ended up with three minutes of video to show the police officer that came to my house which included not only a good shot of his face but a readable license plate.

Very pleased!
The dual camera set gave us a much more secure feeling knowing they’re watching our home always. I have no talent in that arena, but these were simple to quickly install, and have been working very well. The motion activation, bright light, and built in alarm are great, as is the iPhone app.

Good Camera but bad firmware
The camera itself is built pretty solid, the light on it is pretty bright, and the siren is loud. Solar panel works great! With only one battery in the camera i've only seen it drop to 85% overnight and that's with all the settings set to max. For the most part its pretty consistant picture with some stuttering on live view. 2 way works very well also. Downside? The ring system does not support 5G wifi, which frankly blows my mind. With the cameras on the same channel as most of my household devices it can be hard to get quality picture and even establish a connection to the camera. One would think a company like Ring would support 5G on the cameras considering bandwidth these things can use. We live in the country and while the IR sensors work pretty well, half my yard is little to no light so it doesn't go to far in that direction. If you're in a more populated area with outside lights the IR will work better. You can see in the photos I included that in low light it looks really good, but when it gets darker the quality drops if you cannot provide some light for it. While I would recommend this system (love the battery and solar panel combo) to more residential areas, I am likely switching to Nest which has much better night vision reviews.

2 for 1!
Great Value for the 1080p outdoor cameras! You get two for the price of one 4K outdoor camera. The camera was easy to setup from install to connectivity. Battery life won’t be a problem if you grab a solar panel from Ring or Amazon and you’ll place up once and never have to charge again.
