Rest assured, we are here to provide you with information to ensure you are getting the most from your device.

It sounds like you have some concerns with the battery life of your device. The rechargeable battery can go months between recharges with normal use.

Hi RomeoG.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here to provide you with some education to resolve the battery life issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. Spotlight Cam Plus, Battery, Wired, Solar, or Plug-In, is an outdoor security camera that can be used to capture out-of-sight areas and blind spots. It’s equipped with "Color Night Vision," customizable motion detection, and motion-activated lights. Just mount the wireless camera and adjust the viewing angle for wide coverage throughout the day or night.

There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal battery-life performance. The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using "Live View" 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 "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.

You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.

To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app:

Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage."
Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length.".

As cold weather sets in, lithium-ion batteries like those used in Ring Doorbells and Security Cameras may experience several issues, including trouble holding a charge, running out of power faster than normal, or losing functionality. Knowing at what temperature batteries will start to be impacted can help you take the necessary steps to keep your device working. When the temperature drops to:

36°F (3°C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in having to charge the unit more frequently.
32°F (0°C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery.
-5°F (-20.5°C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up.

When it gets cold and your device's battery runs out, bring your entire device inside and charge the battery with a USB cord. This will allow your device to warm up while the battery charges.

We recommend using the Ring Solar Panel to assist with extending the life of the battery in your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus.

Hi AnnC.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is to have your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus capture all the correct motion events. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus was designed to capture motions based on your specifications to help keep your home secure. 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 as expected in regards to motion detection. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. Here are a few tips to optimize the motion settings on your security camera:

1. Adjust Motion Sensitivity: Ring devices can detect motion up to 30 feet with the Motion Sensitivity slider at the maximum level. If you turn Motion Sensitivity down, this range will be lower, decreasing false motion. If your device is missing motion, increase the Motion Sensitivity using the slider.
2. Change the position of your Ring device: Adjust the position of your camera to improve the accuracy of motion detection.
3. Turn on Smart Alerts: You can enable Smart Alerts on your doorbell or camera to improve motion accuracy in detecting people and other objects, including packages. To turn on Smart Alerts, tap the Motion Settings tile on the device’s page in the Ring app. A Ring Home Plan is required to use Smart Alerts.
4. Change the Motion Frequency: Under Advanced Settings, tap Motion Frequency. You can adjust how often battery-powered devices check for motion. If your device is missing motion events, increase the Motion Frequency to Frequently (Shortest battery life—Motion detection always stays active) in the Ring app. If too much motion is being detected, change the frequency to Regularly (Medium battery life—Motion detection takes a short break after each motion alert) or Periodically (Maximum battery life—Motion detection takes a longer break after each alert).

A seamless setup and installation process allows you to begin enjoying the technology and security features of your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus right away. We can definitely provide you with more information on the hardware concern that you mentioned in your review.

The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus is a wireless camera with an adjustable viewing angle for wide coverage throughout the day or night. We have included a list here of what comes in the box with the device:
Spotlight Cam Plus
USB-C Power Adapter
Installation Hardware
Camera Mount
User Manual/Quick Start Guide (not on packaging)
Security Sticker (not on packaging)

We have included the installation instructions for the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus here for your convenience:

Remove protective film from device. This ensures your device works properly.
Remove the battery.
Twist the Speaker hatch counterclockwise to unlock and remove the cover.
Then, remove the battery and discard the orange battery insulator.
Charge the battery.
Plug it into a power source using the provided USB cable. Once the battery’s fully charged, only one light on top will glow green.
Re-insert the battery.
Slide the battery back into the camera until it clicks into place.
Twist the battery compartment cover clockwise to lock it and tighten the security screw.
Choose a location with the view you want.

Your camera can be mounted on an outdoor wall, eave, or overhang. As a reminder when installing, please do not remove the rubber seal from the base as this could cause potential water damage.

For optimal motion detection:

Mount the camera about 3 feet (1 meter) from the middle of the entry point, and about 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground.

If you are installing it on a wall, your camera comes ready to mount, with the ball joint pointing down. No adjustments are needed before installation.


If you are installing on an eave or overhang, remove the battery compartment cover by twisting it counterclockwise and insert the ball joint plate with the ball joint pointing up.

Remove the mounting plate.

Slide it down to remove it from the camera mount.

Install the mounting plate.

For wall installation, the UP arrow should point up. For an eave or overhang, the arrow should point toward the area you want to monitor for motion. If installing on a wood surface, screw the plate directly into the wall.

If installing on a masonry surface, mark four screw holes using the plate as a guide. Drill pilot holes using a 1/4” drill bit. Insert the included wall anchors, then drive the four mounting screws through the mounting plate into the wall anchors.

WARNING! Only use the included mounting screws when securing the mounting plate.

CAUTION! DO NOT drill into your home’s electrical wiring.

Attach the camera mount.

Slide it onto the mounting plate.

Then, tighten the security screw.

Attach your camera to the camera mount.

Loosen the metal collar on the bracket using a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included). Push the ball joint into the socket until it snaps into place.
Adjust the camera angle.
Rotate the camera to focus on the area of your choice. Look at "Live View" in the Ring app to make sure it’s positioned at your desired angle.
Tighten the security screw.
Then, tighten the screw on the metal collar to secure the camera position.

Hi GrandmaDar.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is to have your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus capture all the correct motion events. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus was designed to capture motions based on your specifications to help keep your home secure. 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 as expected in regards to person detection. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This camera uses adjustable motion detection and runs on passive infrared sensors. The system identifies visitors via a moving heat signature and sends a notification to your smart device when one is detected. You can adjust three preset motion zones and their distances under the "Motion Settings" tab on the device's page in the Ring app. Additionally, you can choose how often the camera checks for movement in those predefined zones via the "Motion Frequency" setting. If you find that your camera is missing some motions, please set the motion frequency to "Frequently."

Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling the "Smart Alerts" feature for people only in your Ring app. To enable "Smart Alerts," please follow these steps:
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the device that you want to adjust.
Tap "Motion Settings."
Tap "Smart Alerts."
Tap "Enable Feature."
Tap "Continue."
Select the notification options that you want for "Person" and "Other Motion."
You'll see a video camera where you can select or de-select recording and a bell icon to represent alert notifications.
After you've adjusted your settings, tap "Done."

Notification delays are often related to wifi connection or mobile device variables. A delay of under six seconds is expected due to signal fluctuation. We recommend placing the device within a good range of the router and without obstacles in between will ensure optimal performance. You can also add a Ring Chime Pro to your network to boost the signal to your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus, if needed.
