A:AnswerHi Beck,
Good question! No, the Ring Indoor Security Camera does not record continuously. With a Ring Protect Plan, your Ring Indoor Security Camera will record when motion is detected, or with a live view request. Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video, but you don’t get video recordings of those events. Visit our support center for more information on the Ring Protect Plans: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001671383-General-Information-on-Ring-Protect-Subscription-Plans.

A:AnswerHi CuriousGeorge,
Great question! Yes, you can purchase the Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter (sold separately) to connect the Stick Up Camera Battery to standard outlets for nonstop power. Or you can connect it to a Solar Panel (sold separately) to keep your camera charged with direct sunlight.

A:AnswerHello QuestionMan, Great question. Yes, the Stick Up Indoor/Outdoor has night vision. If you have any further questions, please visit our community forum at https://community.ring.com/, for some additional tips and support. We look forward to hearing from you. -All the Best, Jamila at Ring
A:AnswerYes, it can be viewed on a laptop. You can either use a web browser to view your ring account and cameras, or use the app on your laptop.
Black should be an available color option.
A:AnswerIf you're looking to have a camera monitor a courtyard area, I would recommend an outdoor camera(s) that is mounted outside to monitor the area. Ring has battery operated cameras for outdoors with solar panels to recharge the batteries if there isnt power to wire in the camera.
I've tried mounting a camera inside facing out of a window and it didn't work well as far as giving me alerts that someone or something was close by.
