    We have had to charge the batteries for the stick up cams every night. It has been a nightmare. They are even hooked up to solar panels!!! The batteries are supposed to last at least a month or more just on their own!!! Best Buy must get a huge kick back because the sells person really pushed this product.

      Hello Steve,

      Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review of the Ring Solar Panel. We know how important it is to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security, and having an unresponsive device can be concerning. Please know that we are here to assist and are confident that we can find you a resolution in a timely manner.

      After reading your review, it seems that your Ring Solar Panel is not fully charging your Ring Stickup Camera Battery. Ring recommends at least three to four hours of direct sunlight, depending on your usage. Make sure there are no obstructions that could cast a shadow on your solar power device, such as an extended roof, tree branches, or bushes. If your installation area is frequently very cloudy or gets a lot of rain or snow, this could limit the amount of sunlight that your solar power device receives.

      The solar panel requires direct sunlight. Filtered/indirect sunlight through the clouds will not provide a charge to your doorbell/camera. Here is a helpful article that explains this in more detail: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005282806-Solar-Panel-for-Spotlight-Cam-and-Stick-Up-Cam-Battery-Information.

      Ring Community launched in March 2019 to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our customers. You can find tips and tricks from other Ring users at https://community.ring.com/. This peer-to-peer forum allows our neighbors to share their feedback and experiences to assist each other in resolving their concerns.

      Hi TerryR. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit to function consistently and reliably, so you are alerted to any wanted or unwanted activity in or around your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Alarm are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the issue you mentioned in your review.

      It sounds like the device is not performing to your expectations. The Ring Alarm 8-Piece Security Kit is designed to secure entry points, detect motion, and more, with Alarm Sensors that trigger your Alarm’s siren. There are some environmental factors that can contribute to false alerts from your sensors. Pets, light changes, and other movement can set off a false alarm. Check that elements and pets inside your home won’t accidentally set off motion detectors. That might include helium balloons, rotating fans, shiny objects, flickering lights, and curtains placed over an air vent. Any movement within your home can trigger the motion detector when your Ring Alarm is armed “away,” potentially setting off the alarm. Replace low batteries and faulty equipment immediately. If your Ring Alarm sends you a notification that a Contact Sensor has a low battery, replace it immediately. If a device breaks in some way, bypass it when you arm your home and replace the battery as soon as possible.

      We have shared some useful setup tips for your Ring Contact Sensors here to help you avoid false alarms:

      Review your Contact Sensor to ensure you've set it up your device correctly.
      Use the right placement settings.
      Set a door you use often to Main Door.
      Set a door you rarely use to Secondary Door.
      Always set windows to the Window setting.
      Adjust Entry and Exit delays to give you enough time to enter, exit, and use your alarm without setting off false alarms.
      Close doors and windows tightly to ensure they are shut. If your door or window pops open, it can set off a false alarm.
      Securely attach Contact Sensors and Magnets to your doors and windows. If it falls off while armed, it could set off a false alarm.

      If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit question, 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,
      Melissa from Ring. Ring

      Hi Orlando. I understand that having Contact Sensors mounted correctly and staying mounted is important. This Help Center article here is a great guide for proper mounting: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043818431-Tips-for-installing-your-Contact-Sensor-2nd-gen-. As a best practice, be sure to clean the mounting surface prior to mounting and ensure that the surface is flush with the Contact Sensor.

As our first peer-to-peer forum, the Ring Community allows you to ask questions and interact with other neighbors to discuss your Ring devices. Best wishes, David with Ring. Ring
