    Very disappointing

    This camera failed miserably right out of the box. The lights would randomly turn off and on. Spent $190 to have an electrician install it. Spent several hours on the phone with Ring support and they made it even worse by rolling back the firmware which has caused the camera to totally freeze up. Ring said it cannot be repaired. Fortunately Best Buy was willing to replace it for me but I now have to pay another electrician to replace the camera. I have lost most of my vision or I would have done it myself. I have to replace it with the same camera or I would have a big hole in the front of my home above my garage. Ring was not willing to help with any of the expenses I have incurred because of their poor technical support.

    You have to have a really good connection to get the best out of these cameras. If you have a bad router or slow internet then this won't work as fast as you would like it to work.

    We purchased this for our backyard. we are pretty happy but it picks up bugs and other things that set it off. My husband is an engineer and understand these things and he is stumped.

    this is a wonderful concept for a security camera when it works like its supposed to but everytime i get a motion notification i cant view it the thing will not open and forget talking to someone over the two way communications i have tried they can hear me but it will not pick them up and the router is on the same side as the camera ive even changed routers for a more powerful one and guess what no change i had considered getting the door bell camera too but with as many glitches this has i will pass on that

      Hi Mikey,

      I'm sorry to hear this! Do you happen to know what your upload speed is? You can check by visiting www.bandwidthplace.com on your cell phone, and running a speed test right next to where your Ring Floodlight Cam is installed. For best streaming performance, we recommend 2 Mbps upload and download speeds. If you reach out to me at [email protected], I can assist you with this. I hope to hear from you soon! I am confident that we can turn this around!

      All the best,
      Mary Nell J., Neighbor Satiation Specialist

    Better than some other options in the market but not worth the ongoing subscription cost when you can get an equal product for cheaper and without it through Eufy.

    My ring worked just fine, at first but after three weeks the lights stay on all the time. Then it goes off and immediately come on and repeats itself. When I review the video it skips.

    Good enough to use cam when it is motion activated. It would be great if it is continuous recording rather than motion activated. Image may need improvement though.

    Does not stay connected to WiFi. If you put the light up high you might as well stop at Home Depot and buy an extension ladder because you will need it to press the reset button all the time. In fact don't put the ladder away because you need it hourly. Very poor product. I have a Ring Door bell and have no problems with it. Same distance away from the router. Floodlight cam is JUNK.

    Hard to define watch area

    This was easy to install, and easy to connect to wifi, Ring, and Alexa. However, the lights keep turning on regardless how narrowly I define the watch area. I've turned on 'only turn on with humans' but if my cat wanders within a few feet from the defined range the lights come on. I will have to see if Ring customer service is any help, but at this point I am really disappointed and have turned off this device.

    Thought quality was better, cant see car tags with it, when reviewing the video, what if my car gets hit, definitely catches people face if they get 5ft away from camara.

    Works well but I needed the chime booster for it to reach my WiFi. I have many other electronics that pick up my WiFi from farther away. Disappointed in the lack of range for this unit.

    I bought it to use for my car being vandalized. It worked great during day but never came on at night when vandal struck a 2nd time. I would never recommend for night use. Very disappointed.

    The security light is quick to turn on when it senses motion however images still very grainy, difficult to make out a face at night even in the light from the camera

    after installation, it worked for 5 minutes, then it wouldn't connect to my wifi. I called the customer service, they couldn't solve the problem and deem it was defective. So I exchanged for another unit, still unable to connect properly.
