Hi CalebJ.

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. With Ring Spotlight Cam Plus, stay connected to your home from anywhere by seeing who’s at your door and answering it right from the Ring app. Enjoy enhanced features like upgraded video quality from 720p HD to 1080p HD, "Near Zone" motion detection in areas as close as 5 to 15 feet in front of your home, and a reimagined mounting setup that simplifies installation. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the features of the device.

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 Spotlight Cam Plus, 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 (Ring Spotlight Cam Plus) 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.

Hi Wonder.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Spotlight Cam Plus to function consistently and reliably, so you can effectively monitor your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We want to ensure your device is working as intended by providing you with solutions to resolve the concern you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. To begin troubleshooting the faulty battery port that is causing the device to always report the battery as dead, start by removing both batteries and carefully inspecting the battery port contacts for any dirt, debris, or corrosion. Gently clean the contacts using a dry cotton swab or soft, dry cloth, then reinsert the batteries firmly until they click into place. If the issue persists, try inserting a fully charged spare battery to determine whether the problem lies with the battery itself or the port. If a known good battery still shows as dead, this strongly points to a hardware defect in the port.

Next, try restarting the device by pressing and holding the setup button for 10 seconds. After the restart, open the Ring app and navigate to Devices → Device Health to check whether the battery status has updated correctly. While in the Device Health section, also check whether a firmware update is available, as battery reporting issues can occasionally be caused by a software bug that an update may resolve.
