Ring · Answer

Hello Char,

Good question. Yes, the Ring Spotlight Camera can be mounted indoors, however we do not recommend using the Spotlight Camera behind a window. Using the Ring Spotlight Camera behind a window. During the day, your powered Ring device uses Advanced Motion Detection, which is when the camera looks for changes physically in the environment. The Ring device should be able to see through a window during the day.

At night, your powered Ring device still uses Advanced Motion Detection but also uses Passive Infrared (PIR) to verify the motion. Since windows block heat sources, your Ring device will not be able to accurately view or record through a window at night. Please see our help center article for more information: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022650691-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Battery-Devices.

If you still have concerns regarding this, we would love to hear from you directly on our Ring Community forum.

Thank you, Jamila with Ring.
