Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a solid great indoor camera. Unboxing is very easy and all the parts are well packaged. The set up is super easy when you scan the QR code With your phone or tablet. Because I’m already in the ring ecosystem, this camera makes it really easy to integrate. Very familiar with all the settings and they’re similar to all the other ring products in regards to motion, sensitivity, range, alerts, etc. There are several ways you can mount the camera, personally I chose to leave it on a high shelf in old in the area, which I need to monitor. I think the picture quality is very nice at 2K resolution. The live feed which I use quite a bit already provides fairly smooth live motion and monitoring with very little lag. Color quality is very nice. Zoom in options are Very useful and picture quality doesn’t agree too much. I do like the camera mount and tilt. You have various angles and positioning options and can readjust easily. The audio also works very nicely and decent enough quality to hear the area of your monitoring. Overall great camera, well priced, and integrates nicely into the ring ecosystem.

Like every other Ring product I own, it was super easy to setup this camera. It also feels well made and high quality while also not being super heavy. I went from unboxing it to having a live video and audio feed within 5 minutes. Most of that too was the firmware update that was required, and that's to be expected. It found my WiFi network right away and was overall really to setup. The privacy/muffler piece was really easy to attach and does a great job of avoiding constant notifications when I'm home. I can easily slide it to cover the audio sensor and camera or slide it to the side (it's on a well built track it feels like) when we leave so I can see if someone enters the home unexpectedly or something happens with our dog. The video and audio quality is really great. I have it freestanding but it also comes it a mount if you need one. The live view and two way talk also work really. I think the only thing it's missing is MLO/WiFi 7 network connection capabilities for a faster connection, but overall this hasn't hindered my view of it to warrant giving it less than 5 stars. I highly recommend this camera though.

When I first opened the box to the Ring Indoor Cam Plus, I was immediately concerned. It was small, exceptionally light weight and cheap feeling. Some of those concerns did carry through upon a more in-depth review but not to the extent that I expected. Set up- As someone who no longer uses Ring devices, I expected a bit more work to set it the Ring Indoor Cam Plus. That was definitely not the case, it was lightning fast. Download the app, plug in the Ring Indoor Cam Plus and scan the QR code. A few questions for set up and an update and I was up and running in 2 to 3 minutes. Zero issues. Build quality, fit and finish – The Ring Indoor Cam Plus is the cheapest feeling video cam I have ever tested. While that is not reflective of the performance (more on that later,) it is an indication of what great length Ring took to reduce the cost. The base is too light so the Cam Plus easily falls over if not mounted to something. The privacy cover is as flimsy as it gets, be careful not to break it when installing it. Performance – The performance can be broken down into several categories: Normal light condition Relatively sharp with a moderate field of vision. Compared to an older 1080P models that I installed at another location, I could not see any difference except that the Cam Plus had better color. Ring is strong in this area. Keep in mind that is entirely subjective. Low light conditions The camera can do both color and black and night vision. It switches back and forth depending on the conditions. The color was not great during night vision, but I really cannot fault the camera for that, it is low light after all. The black and white night vision was sharp. Motion sensor Works as advertised. It immediately picks up on a person in front of the cam and recognizes it as a face. I tested only on myself, but it nailed it every time. I think this technology has come a long way and I thought Ring was weaker than the big competitors in the past, that is not the case anymore. App and smart features – The Ring app is top notch with a strong ecosystem and integration. And that is the problem. For you to take advantage of all of the features, you will need to break the paywall of subscription nonsense. There are 3 subscription plans of varying cost, and you will lose the best features unless you subscribe to the best plan. I would challenge you to walk into Bestbuy and look at the box. Try to find anywhere that you will need a subscription and how much it costs to take advantage of the features. You will not see it. There are just too many deal breakers here. The cost of the subscription is high and not disclosed to the level it should be. There is no Google or Apple integration – the former being the absolute deal breaker for me. Sure it is a great deal in terms of initial cost, especially during Black Friday but it is not good value. If you are not already entrenched into the Ring ecosystem, this is pass. There are just better options out there.

Not a lot needs to be said about this new version Ring camera. Compared to the older model, the Plus has a higher resolution camera ( 2560x1440 instead of 1920x1080 ) and slightly improved motion detection configuration. The privacy cover is still there and it still has the same two-way connectivity allowing you to use it as an audio intercom. It also comes with a dedicated cable and power adapter, so it's nice that you don't have to use a separate one. The downside is it seems a bit pricey for a basic wired indoor-only camera ( $60 as of this review ). Competing brands and models in a similar price range offer indoor cameras with 4K resolution or motorized pan/tilt capabilities ( even Ring's own pan-tilt indoor camera for the same price ). Paying $60 for a fixed position 1440p camera isn't overly expensive, but it's also not a great deal. As with most Ring products, setup is pretty easy if you already have a Ring account and other items. You open the mobile application on your tablet or phone and discover the new device. Link it to your Wi-Fi and go through a step-by-step setup wizard. I did run into one problem immediately after setup where viewing the live camera feed made my phone think it was stuck in a phone call, even after I'd closed the app. Rebooting my phone took care of it and I haven't been able to replicate it since, so probably nothing to worry about. If this is your first Ring product, setup is much more involved as creating your Ring account takes some doing. It's not hard, it just takes some time as Ring takes account security seriously and requires you to use some form of 2FA and authentication codes. Overall, if you already have Ring devices and want to add an indoor camera, the Cam Plus isn't a bad option. But unless you really need the higher camera resolution, getting their older-gen cameras may be the better option for the money.

I have a Ring alarm system so I thought it would be good to expand the system with a couple Ring cameras. This camera has given the most frustrating experience getting it going. At first the set up was fine and easy but I found it was causing a problem with my 2.4 Ghz wifi. When it was connected it would cause my phone to be kicked off the wifi and on to cellular data. I really had no idea what was going on. When I unplugged the camera, wifi was fine. It took a couple of days and several updates to the camera and now it seems to be working. Picture quality is OK. It's a wider angle, so everything seems a bit far away. It needs to be in a brighter we'll lit room to have the best resolution. There is no light on it (all cameras need a light) so the night mode is pretty grainy with no way to brighten the room remotely. If you have Alexa with a display, it can display the video feed when you ask. It works on the firestick also with the voice remote so you can view better on the larger screen of your TV. Aside from the frustrating setup experience it seems like a decent option if you want to stay in the ring ecosystem.
