    Great camera and light! Super easy to set up. Picture quality seems better than my doorbell. Lights are pretty bright and light up my whole driveway. Love it!

    Extremely simple to set up...quality is outstanding. Moved houses, easy pack up and setup at new house. My battery holds charge for about 3 months...takes a few hours to charge. The cameras can hold 2 batteries... The Ring app is fantastic and includes a neighborhood forum for sharing any questionable events your camera has caught. The video recording is very good...I don’t think you can get a license plate number from 20 feet away recorded...nice quality tho. The lights may be cut on/off...very bright. Simple, quality, and affordable...$90 year for cloud recording, up to TEN units covered at that price I believe....

    In my opinion the ring outdoor camera light combo works great. They complement the whole ring system. I use them for surveillance purposes they work great I went ahead and bought the unlimited device subscription and I plan on purchasing one more ring device I would recommend them to anyone over the other Wi-Fi cameras that are available

    I have had this camera up for about 5 weeks now. It works very well. Set up was quick and installation was easy (package included drill bit for setting anchors, all screws, and a screw driver). Motion detection is good and picture/audio are both clear. We had a cold spell where temperatures outside got down into the negatives. As advertised on the product page, the camera doesn’t work in extreme cold (we got down into the negative teens). As soon as it warmed back up the camera came back online with no issues. This camera has room for two batteries, so I advise anyone to buy an extra.

    We bought this to add to our other ring cameras and we really like it. It gives a good view of the area we have it. We put it high on a pole and made sure that it would pick up motion and it doesnt dissapoint. They also give you the option when one camera goes off the others turn on and start recording which I really like. It was very easy to set up and install. We got an extra battery and this only comes with one but gives the option for 2. We also got the solar panel to go with it since the area we put it up in isnt easy to take down.

    All Kinds of Problems with Spotlight Cam

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been using them for about 5 days and they have failed horribly. Motion sensors do not work consistently. I have walked in front of the Spotlight Cams multiple times only to get it to activate, record video and send alert maybe 5 times out of 20. Made no difference adjusting the Motion Zone or Distance. When it does record video, I've noticed the first 5 to 10 seconds are pixelated until it clears up to produce a very sharp image. The Spotlight Cams lose Wi-Fi connection randomly. The app, under Device Health always show my connection as Good or Excellent. The Live View feature fails most of the time leaving you with a black screen with a constant rolling icon or it tells you your phone can't connect to the Ring. The Andriod app is Horrible and full of bugs. I'm Using a new Samsung Note 8 and the app has crashed, froze becoming unresponsive, failed to save selected Motion Zones and Distance. Just read the recent bad reviews for yourself on the google play store. It says it all. The batteries also don't last 6 months. Mine went from 100% when installed to 23% in 5 days. I could understand the batteries draining faster if Cams were working overtime being triggered and recording video often, but they are not. I would not recommend the battery operated Spotlight Cams in their current state. They fail miserably. These will be going back to BestBuy for a refund.

      Hi Road1,

      I am so sorry to hear about this unfortunate Ring experience, this is by no means the Ring experience that we intended for you to have. At this point, I would like to connect with you directly so that I can personally investigate the live view, motion detection and overall app malfunctions that you are experiencing. I understand that you have invested a lot of time, money, and energy in trying to get your Spotlight Cam to work and I would like to ensure that your efforts are not wasted. With that being said, if you would be so kind as to contact me directly at [email protected] I would like to get to work on drastically improving your overall Ring experience.

      I would appreciate your time.

    I was surprised how much light these give off at night. I didn't expect much for the size and price. I was wrong. Also, something that I didn't realize, they have two battery slots unlike the other outdoor stick up cams. They do use more battery because of the light and some of the more advanced HDR and IR features so keep that in mind. I recommend buying an extra battery for each up front if you are buying these. It's needed honestly. But overall a great little camera.

    Ring - Spotlight Cam

    The Ring Spotlight Cam is a really good product. The only issue I had with it is that the battery expectations were way less then advertised. My battery is running out every 5-7 days very less than the 1-3 month estimates provided when I bought it. So, I ended up buying a solar panel today for the camera so I don't have to keep climbing up on the ladder and changing my battery. The video is crisp and the notifications are consistent. I did hire a Geek Squad technician to complete the installation and it was quick, well done, and he answered all my questions. Great product and great support, i would recommend it buy buy the solar panel for it.

    I bought the Ring Spotlight Cam Wire-free for surveillance because of the crime rate going up in my neighborhood. Although it's not a home security system, it brings peace of mind that it's watching @1080 resolution 24/7 (with notifications). Anyway, the install is easy, with clear instructions and the wi-fi connection is simple. It comes with one rechargeable battery with the option of a solar hook-up. I do however recommend puchasing a backup battery (dual slots available in camera) and use the settings to extend the battery life if you want. Highly recommend.

    These cameras are the perfect way to keep an eye on what is going on when you are not at home. Very easy to set up. Just follow the directions and be patient. Indoors or out these cams capture things you may not be aware of around your home. This camera caught a service tech who claimed to have inspected my outside air conditioniner when he actually only walked past it on his way to my front door. So much for that expert analysis of why I needed a new unit. That one capture alone saved me thousands of dollars. That same can also caught a stalker on my property. I bought the 2 pack and use the second camera inside to keep an eye on my dog when I am not home. Can’t say enough good things about this product.

    Easy to install and set up. All you have to do is follow the step by step directions. Allows me to look at my property whenever I want and gives me notifications and alerts me of someone or something in a particular zone .( you can adjust to set your needs). I love them and I own 6 of the camera and two of the door bell type. I did invest in 4 solar chargers so I would not have to keep charging batteries. You will have to purchase a monitoring fee if you want to record events. I think it is about 100 dollars a year for unlimited devices. ( cheap enough)

    We purchased the Ring Spotlight Cam Wire-free with solar panel along with the Ring Video Doorbell 3. We were a little late to the Ring game compared to our neighbors, but it has been worth. We love the peace of mind that comes with the immediate alerts and the ability to do a live view whenever we want. We can even talk through the cam - it's loud and clear! And the spotlight is bright and turns on immediately when someone pulls into range at night. It has definitely been worth the purchase, along with the solar panel and the doorbell.
