Great service and product! Love the quality and how easy it is to install and use.

Definitely recommend getting the solar panel battery recharge attachments as some of the more active areas would require changing batteries weekly. Only wish it had the Motion Warning option like the Floodlight Cam Plus does.
Thank you for taking the time to share your Ring experience with us and other consumers. We believe in keeping people close to what’s important. That is why we are driven to create products that help you protect what matters most at home and empower you to connect with your visitors from wherever you are. Together, we’ll make neighborhoods safer!
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.".
Regarding the Motion Warning, this feature requires a plug-in or hardwired power connection and is not available on battery-powered Ring devices. While the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus offers this feature, it is only available on the Wired and Plug-In versions.
For more information on your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus, we invite you to reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback and experiences with Ring. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of any further assistance!
Thank you, Miyuki from Ring.

Battery doesn’t last very long. Alert bell rings outside very loud and is a quiet ring in home. Camera doesn’t come on soon enough therefore plenty notices saying person at door yet when view nothing showed. I could get out of my house walk to car put walker in car and enter car before alert said person at door. Wish it would film faster. Other than that clear picture and I’m going to purchase a solar charger and see if that can keep battery charged more than one week. Not sure if filming can start earlier but will contact Ring for assistance. It could be good if faster filming alert not ring outside and battery last longer. I need another week to see if these problems can be resolved if not then I wasted my money. I hope all can be resolved.

We understand how important it is for your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus to function consistently and reliably, so you are alerted to any wanted or unwanted activity in or around your home.

A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range. The recommended range for optimal performance is 0 to -60 for the RSSI.
If your networking equipment hasn’t been power-cycled in a while, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. Wireless networks utilize different channels for communication. In the United States, the 2.4 GHz band uses channels 1-11 and the 5 GHz band uses channels 36-165. In some cases, setting up your Ring device(s) can fail due to wireless interference or congestion.

Works really well when hard wired, however logic behind the two batteries doesn’t work quite right. Sometime only one of the two is visible, then the other, and sometime none, which makes the camera turn off.
