Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi jkenn. Having your Stick Up Cam online and working reliably is necessary for your peace of mind, so I'm happy to offer some helpful resources. A strong and stable wifi connection is the foundation for your Ring devices, as an unstable connection can impact the performance of your device. You can learn how to improve the wifi connection to your Stick Up Cam in our Help Center article here: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360020044511-How-to-improve-your-wifi-connection-and-speed. As for the battery, the amount of time between charges is dependent on different factors in your environment as well as how much activity your device experiences. We have more information on this here: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/208190773-The-battery-in-my-Ring-device-seems-to-drain-too-fast. For any further questions or concerns, feel free to browse the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. The Ring Community is our peer-to-peer forum that allows you to ask questions and interact with other neighbors who may have some helpful tips and tricks to share. All the best, Ashley from Ring.

Hi Sdman92101. I understand how this can be confusing. Ring devices are region specific and not designed to be used outside of the region they were purchased in. If you have any further questions or concerns, try browsing the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. 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.

Hi LNRU.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand how important it is for your device to have clear video and for you to receive timely notifications. The features and technology provided by the Ring Stick Up Cam are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We would love the opportunity to ensure your device is working as intended.

It sounds like you have some concerns with the features of your Ring Stick Up Cam. The Ring Stick Up Cam offers 1080p HD video. If you are experiencing poor video quality or delayed connectivity, this may be due to a poor wifi connection. Signal strength is just as important as speed when it comes to transmitting a video image from your Ring device to your Ring app. To check the strength of your wifi signal, do the following:

Open your Ring app.
Tap on the three lines on the top left of the screen.
Select Devices.
Tap on the Ring device you would like to test.
Tap on the Device Health tile.
On the Device Health screen, look at your signal strength under the Network section.
If your signal is poor or very poor, this can be caused by the distance between the router and your Ring device, the layout of your home, or interference caused by other devices (TV's, game systems, etc.) or materials in your home such as stucco, brick, metal, large mirrors, or glass doors.

Visit our support center for additional tips and tricks to improve your device's performance.

Hello Couldbebetter,

It is imperative to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security, and the battery life in your Ring camera plays a big role in that. The Ring Stick Up Cam Battery is designed to be a DIY home security solution that can be trusted to provide you with lasting service. While Ring batteries can go months between recharges with normal use, this is dependent on a number of factors in your home's environment.

Battery life is heavily dependent on frequency of use, therefore, please consider the following. If you have located your device in a high traffic area, please ensure the motion settings accurately reflect your needs. For example, you could reduce the size of the motion zone to pick unnecessary movement and thus save battery life. If your needs require maximum performance, consider using a Ring Solar or Super Solar Panel. These can help trickle charge the battery and extend the time between manual recharges.

Additionally, the battery life may be affected by poor signal strength. If you've noticed wifi issues, such as poor video quality or trouble connecting to live video, a wifi extender such as the Ring Chime Pro may improve the signal getting to your camera. A cost-effective alternative would be to relocate your router (or camera) in an area that has less interference, even a couple feet can make a big difference.

Please reach out to us today at https://community.ring.com/, for additional tips and support! We look forward to helping optimize your battery life.

Thank you,

Hi Coleman. Being able to rely on your Stick Up Cam is important to your peace of mind. If your Stick Up Cam has fallen offline after you performed the initial setup, you may need to move it closer to your wifi router to improve the wifi signal.

Hi Pumpkin.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand the importance of having longevity in the battery life of your Ring Stick Up Cam Battery so that you can have a longer time between charge cycles. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device, such as the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery, is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here today to provide you with solutions that will assist you in finding the best device settings for your home’s environment.

It sounds like the battery on your device is draining quickly. The rechargeable battery can go months between recharges with normal use. This is dependent on a number of factors in your home’s environment, such as the local weather and the number of activities captured. If your device's battery is draining quickly, the settings may need to be adjusted.

The more events captured by your Ring device, the more your battery is used. Using Live View often 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 the Frequency to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.

Visit our support center for additional tips and tricks to get your device performing optimally for your home's environment.

Hi SikentLakeGramma.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand the importance of having all relevant product information prior to purchasing. The features and technology provided by the Ring Stick Up Cam are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.

It sounds like there is some confusion regarding how the Ring Stick Up Cam is powered. The Ring Stick Up Cam Battery is powered by the Quick Release Battery Pack. The battery will need to be charged prior to setting up the device. To charge it, use a common micro-USB cable, such as the orange one included in your Ring box. Simply plug it into any USB power source. The battery can take around 5–10 hours to fully charge, depending on whether the USB cable is plugged into a USB port or a wall outlet. It does not need to be plugged in at all times.
