Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Security Cam is a great indoor security camera. While it can be used for any indoor security cam needs, I am primarily using mine as a pet cam, and it works great for that purpose too. I have set it up and tested it and have the following observations: - The cam was easy and quick to set up. Just download the Ring App, plug in the cam and scan the QR code and the app walks you through the various settings and set up options. - The 360 degree horizontal pan coverage and the up and down tilt make it very convenient to see any area in the room in which it is set up. This will make it easy to look for pets that may not be moving when looking at the live view. - There is a privacy cover you can slide over the camera to turn off the camera and mic. - The cam will record up to 120 seconds of video when motion is detected and stored for viewing later. - There is a live view which allows you to see the room in real time from your phone or laptop, rotate the camera to see various areas in your room and use the mic to talk to anyone or pets in the room and hear audio in the room for two-way communication. This will come in handy if I want to communicate with my pets. - The cam provides HD video for a nice, clear picture. It also has color night vision. - The device can sit on a counter, desktop or bookshelf, or it also comes with hardware necessary to mount it on a wall or ceiling. - You can set up the alerts to notify you if a person is detected in the frame, or set it up to notify you of any motion it picks up. Notifications will go to your phone in real-time. The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Security Cam is a well-designed device that will provide you all the controls and features you need for an indoor security cam or pet cam. I recommend it!

I recently moved to the Ring ecosystem and now I see why everyone raves about it. I was extremely excited to get this camera for my basement as I have a large game room and this provides the necessary camera coverage to see (and protect) everything. This device packs some serious functionality, the Pan/Tilt is remarkably smooth, like there’s zero lag from phone to camera movement. Resolution is crisp, night vision is excellent and the privacy cover is a nice option! Just slide it over when you need it and slide it back when you’re done. It only takes 7 seconds to fully rotate the camera 360° and about 4 seconds to fully tilt. I think that’s a great response time if the situation arises and you need to move your camera fast. Two way talk is such a nice feature and being able to customize your alerts is a huge win. My camera mainly watches my high dollar items and being able to have alerts when people walk by those (not just entering the room) makes a huge difference. Setup is a breeze (as it always is with Amazon/Ring devices), just plug and play! Actually I think the software install took longer than setting it up in the app! Just like the title says, Worth Every Penny!!

Received this Ring Cam a week ago. I already have 7 various Ring Cams and Doorbell outside my house and in basement and garage. Figured this would be and nice easy addition to activate to watch the dog while away for a few hours. Super easy to setup in-app just like all my other Ring cams. Promptly automatically updated the firmware and good to go. Settings all the same as the other Ring cams and detection settings and alerts super easy to set as well. Being able to remotely change the view with the pan and tilt is very nice (I have it set in my kitchen initially and can move the view to pretty much anywhere I want). Only criticism is that it looks a little odd. Basically just an indoor-cam that they slapped a tilt and rotate motor onto the bottom which adds over 50% height. Just asthetics, but not as elegant as I think it could be compared to my pan and tilt Wyze Cam. That aside, I may get a second one of these Ring cams.

Works really well, easy to set up and image is clear. Worth every penny

The Ring Pan-Tilt Cam worked great (significant picture improvement over our old Arlo Q) and was "easy" to set up once I found a Wi-Fi Network it was compatible with. When I set it up initially, it failed to offer a picture when connected to either the Chime Pro Network or an Eero Max 7 Network (it reported a good signal in device health on both networks). Sometime after I tried, I noticed the Eero had an update so it may be something they have or need to fix. Still, I got it working with my Cable Company's Wi-Fi 6E Gateway and it was up and running quick and easy once I did that. Setting the home position was easy, much better than the old way of moving the camera by hand, and now we can also move it from the app in live view. Motion detection worked well, and right away picked up any person in range of the camera's view. We positioned ours in a Window, as we had more interest watching outside for security than watching ourselves in the house. When setting this up, we used Two-Sided tape (thick, from as-seen-on-tv store) to hold it in place in the window. This was important because when the device powered on (such as after a power outage) it moves around and if it is not secured, it could move and fall. It also came with a mounting kit, but where we placed it we didn't want to drill any holes. This is our 5th Ring Camera (we purchased three ourselves previously and received the other two for review purposes from Best Buy). Overall, everyone in the house is a big fan of the Ring cameras, including this one, both because of the picture quality and the ease of use of the app (you can quickly scroll through video with a swipe, and alerts come up right away). I would recommend this and any Ring camera for people interested in home video security, with a note that unless you're on a fiber type connection, you may have limited upload bandwidth over cable (limited number of cameras recording at once). Pros Easy set up Great Picture Quality Pan and Tilt – Easy to use and excellent feature The App is outstanding quality Cons Had issues on some Wi-Fi networks, but it may have been the router’s fault

Great camera ! Very easy setup! Nice features! Now i can keep an eye on my dogs while im at work!

The thing missing from the ring home camera arsenal was a pan and tilt camera. And this does just that, pan and tilts. This camera is able to rotate 360 degrees, and is wired via a usb-c cable (no battery option). The video quality is 1080P which, and the two way talking capability is great for communicating with whoever is in your home. What this pan and tilt camera does NOT do is automatically detect and follow motion. Meaning, if I am walking past the pant and tilt camera, it will not follow my motion the same way that alternative cameras in this space can do. If you are invested in the Ring ecosystem, this pan and tilt will still fill a void but it won’t be ground breaking. I will say the various mounting options allow you to mount the camera to the ceiling or to the wall and get 360 coverage from that vantage point, provided that you are ok with manually monitoring your area. In the space of indoor security cameras I expect everything I previously mentioned to be a part of the package. I also expect there to be a feature that allows effortless motion tracking with no input from the user, other than initial set up.

Did not connect to the WiFi in the Tampa Element Building that is secure and shared by all residents. Yet it works fine in my previous house where I had my own WiFi.

Let me start off by saying I already own a ring door cam as well as a ring stick up cam, so I was super excited to try this one out... until I received and opened it. Setup is super easy if you already have a ring account, a few clicks and you're good to go. My problems with this camera start with it being corded. Some might like that feature as you never have to charge the battery. I however hate that it's corded. I wanted to mount this on a wall, because I know we would get the best coverage doing that. Unfortunately, because of it being corded I would've had to look at the stupid cord 24/7. And to me that's an eyesore. The 2nd issue I have with this cam is the privacy cover. You'd think that it would be automatic and not manual. You literally have to walk up and physically move the cover. So of course you cannot undo that on the app either, you'll have to go and switch it back. The third issue I have with this cam is that the pan/tilt is also not automated, and is also MANUAL. So if someone were to walk past the cam it will not follow the movement. You would have to get the notification, open the app to live view, and then use the arrows to have the camera follow along. Kinda useless if I always have to be watching and manually move it myself. All in all this camera is decent. The picture is great & it doesn't miss anything as far as catching movements. I am just disappointed with the performance of the added options. But at this price point I should've known better than to expect something that "fancy" or advanced.

This gen 2 pan/tilt camera is a major upgrade from its predecessor. This camera has the pan and tilt functions built in directly with no additional mount or equipment needed for the pan/tilt functions which is a major improvement over the previous option which required a separate pan/tilt base/motor that took over the battery compartment. The downside to this model is that it is only available wired so you are somewhat limited in your mounting locations. Upon power up the camera automatically calibrates to its home position. During setup in the app you can customize the home positions. Mounting hardware is easy to set up and all you need is a drill and screwdriver for permanent mount. It would be nice if you could adjust the pan/tilt without being in live view, but this isn't a big deal. The camera will automatically recalibrate after power failure and the privacy shield is a nice touch if you have it mounted somewhere that you might not want constant video recording. The microphone is quite sensitive and does pick up conversations in other parts of the house. Just a caveat to those who may be concerned about in home cameras. Motion sensitivity can be quite high so adjust as needed. We got this camera to monitor our cats food/water intake and the motion sensor is sensitive enough to pick up the bubbling on the water fountain when set to high. Image quality is fantastic. Love this camera!

In my experience, Ring - Pan-Tilt Indoor Security Cam with 360° Horizontal Pan Coverage, Live View & Two-Way Talk, and HD Video - White is an excellent design and manufactured using high quality materials. The $39.99 price to value proposition is very compelling. In my experience, this is a great indoor camera. In my experience, Ring is consistent in bringing awesome designs that are well executed in form and functionality, utility and performance.

The Ring - Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam with 360° Horizontal Pan Coverage is basically like the other ring cameras, but has been enhanced a hundred times!. Setup was just like any discovery on the Ring App. But where the standard Ring cameras stops, the Ring - Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam with 360° Horizontal Pan Coverage takes over scanning the horizon from left to right with 360 degree views. And in actuality, it overlaps more than 360 degrees view from full lock to full lock. It can look up and and look down as it revolves on it's base. Functionality, you control the view from the Ring App in live view. Honestly, this is one of the best security cameras to come from Ring. You could use one camera to view the the whole room. It has motion sensor and two way talk, as with the other ring cameras. If you have to say that there is drawback, you can't view 360 degrees the whole time. It so nice to have the ability to pan and tilt, the room. When I upgrade/update my other Ring cameras, I will definitely upgrading to the Ring - Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam with 360° Horizontal Pan Coverage! I highly recommend it!

TL;DR - This is a great indoor camera if you're in the Ring ecosystem. The pan/tilt feature works well and Ring's app and ecosystem deliver good value for the casual user. The only downside is the microphone and speaker are not omnidirectional; it doesn't do very well at picking up sounds that the camera is not facing. It's also unfortunate that Ring couldn't include 5Ghz Wifi in this new camera. After using this camera for about a week, I'm mostly satified with this latest camera in Ring's ecosystem. The camera itself is about the same size as Ring's basic indoor and stick-up cameras and the resolution is approximately the same. The camera connects using a 10-foot USB A to C power cord to a relatively small 10W AC adapter. The camera can pan/rotate a full 360 degrees and tilts approximately 160 degress (?). It moves/turns relatively quick. It includes motion detection the same as all of Ring's other cameras do, but unfortunately, the camera doesn't take advantage of the pan/tilt capability to track the motion/person moving across the room. The night vision feature works well, and it includes a "color" night vision feature. The two biggest downsides are the camera is reliant completely on cloud connectivity; there is no ability for local storage to a microSD card, and the camera can only connect to 2.4 Ghz wifi, and Ring recommends minimum bandwidth of 2 Mbps. Overall, this is easily the best choice from the Ring ecosystem for an indoor camera option. Hopefully a future version, perhaps as a pro model, will correct the two minor deficiencies for local storage and wifi compatibility.

1 star because Best Buy lied about shipping. I should have ordered from Amazon

I hate that whybamni havked it makes no sense to me.

Ring Pan and Tilt Camera. On first sight its is like a smaller Ring stick up camera sitting on a base. It has a swivel cover so you can cover the camera for privacy- a nice touch. The base is weighted so the camera is stable. It requires a USB C adaptor which is supplied, and also a mounting base. The mounting base allows the camera to be wall mounted, and it sits on the mount like a shelf. Set up was easy as I already have the Ring app and another Ring device. For storage, there is no SD card and will cost you $30 a year or $3 a month. I think there are multiple plans for multiple devices but you cannot set up in the app and muts login in through a computer. Once set up, the camera and pan and tilt worked well. The resolution and picture quality was an improvement over my Ring door bell. Low or night was decent althought there was room for improvement. Operation of the pan and tilt was good but the tall camera, did look a bit awkward as it tilted, but it never did fall over! The process of panning and tilting was a bit slow but it may have been the connection. I do wish it had a SD card slot so it could save locally. All in all, this is a decent camera for my purpose. It is sitting in a up stairs window allowing me to see the side of the house.

After having a stationary camera for monitoring my door access, this camera dramatically ups the game! First off, the camera is very sleek in appearance and should blend in well in just about any environment. Once you open the box, everything you need to get up and running is right there. First thing I did was plug it in and power it up. In the box there is a QR code you can scan that will walk you through everything needed to get up and running. Since I already have Ring doorbells, it added the camera to my Ring devices and I was good to go. Features of the camera include the ability to zoom, and of course pan and tilt. You also have the option for notification just like on a doorbell. One enhancement I would like to see is to be able to set the times to get alerts. During the day when folks are home I don't want an alert every time someone walks past the camera which can be a lot. As for the functions, the pan/tilt function works well. Video image is crisp and clear with very little, less than a second for me, delay. The only shortcoming, be it very small, is that you cannot zoom and pan/tilt at the same time. You can zoom then enter pan/tilt mode or enter pan/tilt then exit and zoom. Overall I love the functionality of this camera. I wish I had the right location in my home to fully utilize the 360 degree capability!

Works perfectly. It rotates which is amazing. This helps us a lot to view areas with 1 camera.

Easy to setup and great panoramic view. Can now check on my 87 year old mom

As someone who already invested in the Ring ecosystem, I was excited to try out their latest indoor camera, the Pan-Tilt Indoor camera. Being that I already had a Ring account with their Protect Plus plan I was able to add the camera with live monitoring, without any additional fees. Setup was pretty easy, you go through the Set Up a Device workflow, which will ask if you want to wall mount or leave the device on a table. I chose to wall mount mine, and the steps are pretty simple. First you place the mount template at the location where you want to place the unit, drill holes and place the anchor screws, screw the mounting plate in the wall, attach the mount plate, then attach the camera. After everything is set up the camera will do a quick rotation and try to place itself in the optimal position. I had to do a minor adjustment, but you can rotate the camera up, down, left, and right. The field of view on the camera is pretty wide and is able to cover a large area. The quality of the picture is very good and I like that has color night vision. Overall it is a good camera and the inclusion of tilt and pan controls gives you more flexibility on placement.
