A:AnswerHello Dave4543,
Great question! While subscribed to one of our optional Ring Protect Plans, you will be able to access videos from every ring, motion, and live view event for up to 60 days (US). You can also access, download, and share past Ring videos. Without this service, you will still receive real-time video alerts on your smartphone, as well as have access to the Live View feature. Additional information about the optional Ring Protect Plan can be found on our support website, here: https://ring.com/protect-plans.

A:AnswerHello Mimi,
No, Ring Stick Up Cam does not have a SD card slot. However Ring Edge enables storing and processing the video captured on your Ring Device within your local system rather than in the cloud.
Ring Alarm Pro(sold separately) has the capability of processing your videos right on your device and storing them on a MicroSD card inserted into the Ring Alarm Pro. In addition to Ring Alarm Pro, in order to take advantage of this feature you will need a MicroSD card and a Ring Protect Plan.

A:AnswerI bought the ring doorbell camera first and loved it. Then I purchased an outdoor cam followed by an indoor cam. If they are all ring cams they will all be seen in the same ring app. It is also very easy to add more cameras assuming they are Ring Cameras. I hope this helps
A:AnswerHello Gato,
Yes there is a power cord available. You add even more flexibility to your Stick Up Cam with the Ring Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter. It is a weather-resistant adapter for nonstop power inside or out.

A:AnswerHello Dexter,
There is currently no Siri support for Ring. Connecting and controlling a Ring video doorbell or security camera with an Alexa-enabled device is a simple process. To accomplish this, you’ll need to add Ring as a skill in your Alexa app. As a result, you’ll be able to direct your Ring device(s) with voice commands, as well as watch live videos from them if you have an Echo Show or Echo Spot

A:AnswerHello Mike,
The battery is fully charged when the light on the battery shines a solid green, which can take 6-8 hours. Connect the orange micro-USB charger(included in the box) to the charging port in the battery. During charging both the red and green lights will light up.

A:AnswerHello JJTree,
Great question! Yes, you could point the camera at the thermostat and be able to see the temperature reading through the Live View feature. Just to clarify, the camera does not have a temperature reading of the room that it is installed in. Here is a helpful article regarding more specifications of this device: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015669092-Stick-Up-Cam-Battery-2nd-Generation-Information.

A:AnswerThe battery life depends on the settings that you have it on. If you set the camera to where it records frequently and has a longer record time, then your battery will die faster. If you set it to the recommended settings as put forth by ring, then your battery should last about 2 months. The battery comes with it and is rechargeable.
A:AnswerHello Dtaylor,
Yes, the Ring Stick Up Cam does work with Alexa. Connecting Ring Devices with Alexa is a simple process. To accomplish this, you’ll need to add Ring as a skill in your Alexa app. Once this is accomplished, you’ll be able to use a variety of Alexa-enabled devices with your Ring devices.
