    spot light camera is easy to use and the video quality is better than average. It takes a couple of days to figure out the optimal position which depends on the surroundings/etc. It also takes time to adjust the settings in the app to the way you like them. I just make small adjustments and see how the camera responds. I continue this until I get it right. very good features and capability with the ring system.

    We had to charge the battery after less than a month. I'm probably going to purchase the solar charger for this so that we don't have to keep charging it. I think the battery takes 6-8 hours to charge each time. My husband said its easy to install. The app is easy to use too. It captures cars driving by our street which is what I wanted. I do plan on buying at least 2 more of these cameras.

    The camera captures a huge area and the picture is clear. You can view your possession from anywhere which is a great feature. I hope this product discourages people with bad intentions. The camera was easy to installed (wireless) and very compact. I recommend this product to anyone looking for additional security.

    Good picture, works well with app. Little bulky, but far better than the Stick Up cam. Bought this one and the Ring Stick Up camera. This is the better choice, costs $20 more but gives you a spotlight, extra battery bay, alarm status light. Don't really like how the battery door closes. Feels cheap and not really closed. They could have improved on that.

    Falls short (though not terribly) of expectations

    I've had a few Ring Spotlight Cameras (battery) for a couple of months now. One failed after 1.5 months of use and after an hour of troubleshooting with a Ring technician online, it was returned for replacement. Pros: The camera operates as advertised and seems to be quite effective. Vendor is quite responsive to problems and replaced a defective unit ni a timely manner. Cons: The battery charges quite slowly (many hours) and operates for only around 10-20 days on a full charge (based on my settings), so even with two batteries (which I have in both Ring units), you'll need to recharge the batteries once or twice a month. The housing for the batteries seems (I emphasize, seems, because I don't have enough experience to know for sure) to be flimsy. I anticipate that I'll have problems with replacing the batteries after around 20 replacements. Because one of the two units looks out to a moderately busy street, I set-up that unit to recognize people and ignore other movement (e.g., traffic). I still receive more than 50% false positive alerts of people moving in the field of view.

    If you want a reliable, easy to use security camera with a crystal clear picture this is the one you need to buy. I liked my first one so much that I decided to buy a second and cover my yard from front to back. I love the fact that it's Wire-free which allows me to put it anywhere. Highly Recommended.
