    I have purchased a few of these cameras and think the quality is great. I like that they swivel and I can see a broader area as well. I would definitely recommend this product. I bought a few when they ran a good sale around $40 off.

      Hi RafiqM.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Outdoor Cam Plus, Battery so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here to provide you with some education to resolve the battery life issue you mentioned in your review.

      It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal battery-life performance. The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using "Live View" can also drain your battery faster. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner.

      To prevent excessive activity, under "Motion Settings" for your device in the Ring app, you can:

      Adjust your "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a lower sensitivity.
      Redraw your "Customizable Motion Zones."
      Change "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically.
      You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.

      You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.

      To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app:

      Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard.
      Tap "Devices."
      Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
      Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage."
      Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length.".

      If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Outdoor Cam Plus, Battery, please reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.

      Thank you for being the best part of Ring! Have a wonderful day!

      Sincerely,
      Miyuki from Ring. Ring

    Nice addition to my Ring Doorbell

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After having the Ring Doorbell and app for a year I decided I wanted to extend my protection to the backyard. The camera was on sale and I had some Best Buy Rewards to spend so I bought 2 of these cameras. The view from these cameras is much better than my doorbell. They are sharper, brighter and the night vision is better all around. So far the batteries have lasted but, I havent had them long enough to see what their full potential is. With the app you can completely customize your view, alerts, motion settings and notifications. You can even listen and speak with these cameras just like the Doorbell. The clarity is much improved over the doorbell that I have. The one drawback is that you will need to get a subscription if you want to record and store the videos. Depending on the number of cameras and features you wan this could get expensive. If you have invested in a Ring Doorbell this is a nice relatively inexpensive option to add more views of your property.

    Best For RING Households

    I really wanna tell you thst this is the camera system you need, because RING is an awesome surveillance camera name. They're a very reliable brand and this outdoor cam battery is a pretty good addition to the RING ecosystem. However, if you aren't already in the ecosystem, with the RING doorbell and maybe even the Spotlight camera system, this isn't a very good jumping off point. The RING app is easy enough to set up and the package does come with everything you need to hang your camera outside (except a drill or screwdriver) but I'm sure that's a given that most housholds would usually have that. There are even ankers to make sure your camera will stay smug in the sheetrock as well. This is a relatively light camera, so it should hang well just about anywhere.When you first open your camera, be sure to take the battery out of the base and throw that bad boy on charge. Now, this brings me to a glaring problem. I opened up the package and pulled out the charging cable, and I was greeted with a micro USB charging cable. That's a huge red flag. This is letting me know that this battery isn't going to last as long or charge as quickly as a battery that is being charged by a type-C connection. Not to mention that this charging cable is itty bitty. Again. If you're in the RING family of surveillance systems, this should go well with what you have already. But if you're not? I feel like there are better and more affordable surveillance options on this website. I like it, but I don't love it. Oh! And yes. It does work well with your Alexa and Google Home systems, but there's still a need for paid assistance if you want to feel fully secure.

    These cameras are perfect for what I needed. Adding them to my existing Ring app was a breeze and took about 2 minutes each. Installation was simple but I did by some mounts that helped me get my desired angle. Over I would highly recommend.

    Great camera with exceptional quality. I got this to cover my entire front door for packages. The doorbell cant catch the entire area when packages get dropped off. The ease of the install was pretty straight forward and setup with existing system was just easy. But everything has to have at least 1 drawback or gripe. Mine would be that the battery cover is just a phillips screw, unlike the ring doorbell which has a tamperproof torx screw. This isn't a deal breaker for me just the only thing I could complain about.
