    A battery power camera with lights is a great idea in concept but needs work. The recording time is limited to 30 second compared to 1 minute for the wired spotlight cam. It is difficult to catch anyone "in the act" within such a sort period of time or sufficient evidence. Arlo Pro camera provides up to 2 minutes of recording and you do NOT have to buy a subscription but lacking lights for now. Moreover, the motion setting is very limited in customization compared to the wired spotlight cam so you will have a lot of unnecessary motion alerts. Once these issues are resolved, I would give it 5 stars and purchase more of them.

    I bought this camera so that my husband could install it in our attic to try and catch a varmint who would come in at night. Excellent camera.

      Hello Mjd77,

      Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products. We really appreciate your feedback. Our team is always striving to improve our products and their performance.

      The rechargeable battery for your Spotlight Cam security camera may not need recharging often with normal use. This is dependent on a number of factors in your home environment, such as weather and the number of activities captured.

      You only need one battery for your Spotlight Cam to work properly. However, if you want extended battery life or don't want to experience any downtime charging the battery, a second battery is available for purchase.

      For any additional installation questions or set up concerns, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.

      Thank you,
      Antonio from Ring Ring

    Systems works great, very user friendly and provides the level of security my family and I wanted. The Best Buy Total Tech in home consultation was somewhat a hit and miss since this individual doesn't do the install and may not have clearly understood what was needed for a wired install. The Best Buy third party installer, totally understood what we wanted to do and even recommended using existing pre-wiring. The team of two did an excellent job with installation and set-up.

    We purchased a door bell camera and two spotlight cameras. The doorbell camera has a good video quality and the coverage is good. In short, it functions as expected. One of the spotlight cameras is mounted to cover the drive with a field of view at zero degrees. This operates as expected; the video quality is very good and coverage is very good. Both of these cameras give notice of motion immediately. And the history on both cameras can be accessed without issue. The second spotlight camera does not operate as expected. It doesn’t give notice of movement and its history is not readily accessible.

    I purchased the cam spotlight battery powered for the side of my house. The camera is great it shows a very wide angle. The light is pretty good but I think a flood light would have been better. I like the fact that you can put in your own range of motion . I have a big dog and this camera can differentiate between a person and a dog. Also purchase the extra rechargeable battery pack that goes in it so the camera can switch from one to the other. I don't have much motion on the side of my house so I think the battery pack will do me good.

    Bought this with other Ring cameras and they all work great. Lights are bright and ugh vision is great, probably better than with the lights on. motion detection is preset and you cannot set custom zones on this version, I think because it is battery operated and not the plug in. Regardless, it senses motion just fine and you can turn off certain preset zones. I plan to get the solar adapter since I use it a lot and drains the battery. I have had it for about a month and need to recharge it. I have everything enabled so it is expected. Product is great and easy to install.

    Love this product. Easy to install. Provides enhanced security. Only downsides: Short battery life. Buy the second backup battery pack. Strong Wind or storms will trigger motion sensor.

    Looking for a security camera system that did not break the monthly bank. Ring appears to have the best deal. The camera work great and picture quality to good as well. There are a range of settings to use more or less battery. I do need to angle mine down since the default kit still keeps the camera angle to high. I did purchase an extra battery so I could rotate charging. Depending on activity (like leaving the garage multiple times per day) the batteries last about a one to two months before charging is needed. Winter drains more than summer as expected. Been great while on vacation.

    Purchased 3 of the Ring Spotlight cameras to put up at my mother-in-law's house. Installation and set up was very easy and straight forward. The cameras have been up and running for about a month and the battery life of each ranges from around 80% at the back door where nobody ever goes, to around 45% at the garage/driveway that sees a lot of company. Also, the WIFI signal is weak (but functional) on the camera that is furthest away, which is probably around 40'. Could very well be the router she is using though. Overall, the cameras do a great job and add that little bit of comfort for her.

    We have had so e packages stolen from our front door so it was time to do something. I installed the spit light can above our front door and we see everyone who comes up to to the house. We will capture their face if they ever try to grab another package. We feel much more secure! Very easy to setup.

    I purchased three wire-free spotlight cameras and the doorbell. I love all of them! I can manage/monitor them from anywhere! It allows me to spot anyone coming to the house with time to secure the dog if needed. I had Best Buy/Geek Squad install and the only tip I have is make sure YOU can reach where they place it to change batteries. One camera is pretty tough for me (on a ladder) to get the batteries in/out. Video quality is really good for the price point! I would recommend to anyone! No additional fees, unless you choose to store videos on the cloud. But, not necessary to use the equipment.

    I purchased this spotlight cam for our garage roughly 30 feet from our house to view the backyard. It has a great picture and it's a great additional to our overall Ring system. I also purchased the solar panel to avoid charging the light and that has yet to disappoint. I've had the item since 3/9/2020 and we also travel to another state and have been able to view this camera without the need of charging or being hardwired. If you have additional Ring accessories, I would recommend purchasing the Spotlight camera if you have an area where you are not able to hard wire.
