  • Questionwhat is the range of the cameras from the wi fi for the best video

    Asked by monte1.

    • Answer Hello monte1, Great question! The range of the cameras is dependent on the signal of your home wifi network equipment. Getting a wireless signal from the transmitter to the receiver can be like trying to talk to a friend at a rock concert. A variety of environmental factors may keep you from getting to clarity. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. The RSSI measurement is all the factors that are hurting your signal at the receiving point. While RSSI is measured on a scale of 0 to -99, there won't ever just be one cause that is the culprit for a low RSSI rating. You'll have to be a bit of a detective, tracing the wifi paths in your house and experimenting with possible sources of interference. Some larger homes with thick walls and floors may benefit from using a wired access point via ethernet or Ring Chime Pro to boost the signal. Here are two helpful articles to review to understand how to get the best signal to your Ring devices: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020044511-How-to-Make-Wifi-Work-For-You https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217271526-Understanding-RSSI-Values-and-Wireless-Signal-Strength If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to visit our support site at https://community.ring.com/ to find the answers you need.

  • QuestionHow far away house and router do they work can I put at driveway 300 or 400 feet from house

    Asked by Bama.

    • Answer Hello Bama, Great question! The range of the cameras is dependent on the signal strength of your home wifi network equipment. A variety of environmental factors may keep you from getting to clarity. Walls, floors, furniture, and appliances all block wifi signals. Even with the best wifi router and minimal obstructions, wifi signals get weaker as they travel. If your router is far away from your Ring products, consider moving it closer, or add a Ring Chime Pro or a mesh networking system to extend your wifi network. If many devices are connected to your wifi network (such as phones, computers, or TVs), they may slow your connection enough to affect your Ring products. To free up your wifi network, disconnect devices you seldom use, and connect heavy-use devices using Ethernet, when available.

  • QuestionTo use these cameras do I need to purchase a base station? Or do these connect directly to my home WiFi? I will be subscribing basic Ring subscription if that matters. Wasn't sure if they are standalone or not.

    Asked by Wado66.

    • Answer Hello Wado66, Good question! A Ring Alarm Base Station is not needed for the Spotlight Camera device to function. The Alarm Base Station is only required for the Ring Alarm system, and it's accessories. The Ring App is required to use this device and walk through setup. The Ring app is free, but you may need your username and password for your mobile device's store page to download the app. You will also need a 802.11 b/g/n wifi network operating on 2.4 gHz frequency to connect this device.

  • QuestionIs it easy to uninstall these in case you were to move? Will it leave any damage to the house once removed?

    Asked by Karen.

    • Answer Hello Karen, Good question! Installing your Ring Spotlight Camera Battery is intended to be a simple, do it yourself, process. Spotlight Cam comes with a mounting plate that, depending on its orientation, allows you to mount it on a wall or under an overhang. To mount a Spotlight Cam on a wall, insert the mounting plate with the ball socket pointing down. To mount on an overhang, insert the mounting plate with the ball socket pointing up. It's important when selecting a location to remember that Spotlight Cam is designed to be placed at an optimum height of nine feet with the motion detector parallel to the ground. This will put the motion sensor in a perfect position to detect human-sized objects at up to 30 feet. Here is a helpful article to review before your installation process: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003340986-Ring-Spotlight-Cam-Battery-Installation For any additional questions, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.

  • QuestionI don't want the camera to record when I am home. Can I arm and disarm the system so it will only sense motion when I am not there?

    Asked by Curious.

    • Answer Hello Curious, Yes, this can be achieved through using the Modes function. Modes are settings in the Ring app that can control the behavior of all of your Ring devices. It’s an expansion of the “Modes” concept used by Ring Alarm. The idea is to configure your cameras to protect your home in different ways, depending on your current needs. Then, all of your devices will work as a single ecosystem with one tap of a button. In this case, you would select Away Mode to fully secure your house when you leave. You can set all of your cameras, both inside and out, to record your home in this mode. You can decide whether each of your cameras detects motion or not. Here is a helpful link which explains the Modes features, and it's performance: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes For any additional questions regarding the Modes feature, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.

  • QuestionHow much/how long does the solar panel require direct sunlight to fully recharge the battery in the spotlight camera

    Asked by Anonymous.

    This question was asked about the related product: Ring - Spotlight Cam Wire-free - Black

    • Answer Hello, Great question! The Ring Solar Panel is designed to provide power for re-charging the Spotlight Camera's quick release battery. There are two important factors to consider when choosing solar, as a power option: Number of Motion Events per day: If your Ring device is in an area that detects more events every day than average (defined as 10+ events per day) then your battery will drain faster and require more power or recharging more often. Your Solar Environment: Warmer climates and areas that get less rain and cloud cover will get more kW of solar energy per day than rainier or cloudier zones. In such areas, having a larger solar panel may be a necessity for powering your Ring device.
