Happy Customer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice and compact. Easy to set up and use. Definitely recommend extra batteries and a charging station so you can easily swap on demand. Be aware you’ll need a subscription to view and keep recorded events. Otherwise it’s live video only.
I would recommend this to a friend Best used in large view areas
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this camera however we bought it in place of a Ring doorbell because of the doorbell placement. I think it is better suited for an area that you need a wider view and that does not have traffic in range. We are thinking of moving it to the side of our house and buying the doorbell. The 2nd battery is a must. Makes it last a very long time.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the camera for over a month and still dont have use of both yet. The installation was bad and one has not been programmed where can see a picture so I don't know if it's good or not. I really hate the whole experience thanks to the installation process.

Still learning about Ring!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had this product less than two weeks and are not totally familiar with all its uses. The spotlight cams were installed with the batteries having only about 25% power left. We immediately ordered a backup battery so we could charge one and have one in use. The batteries don't seem to last very long, so we're thinking about putting two batteries in each camera for longer life.

Great cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the ring cameras. Able to see who has or is in the view of the camera around your home or wherever you place the camera. The lights light up the area in view of the camera so as to be able to see better who or what triggered it to turn on. Also love the feature to be able to speak through the camera if needed. Recommend this product to others.

Great wireless security camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchase this due to us becoming a fan of our ring doorbell. This could not be easier to install and the video quality is excellent as long as your Wi-Fi signal is strong at the location you were installing. My only suggestion would be to purchase the second battery so you can have a longer lifespan on the battery charges.

Night Owl Guard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is working great. I am amazed at the motions it picks up. We live on a corner lot and it can pick up both streets. We had a beautiful owl who landed on roof area and it was looking right into the camera. Stayed for quite some time. We plan to purchase another for rear location on the property.

Good camera needs better software
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent little spotlight camera but could definitely use some software updates or improvements. Motion detection is set off by birds and squirrels and even the wind blowing around tree ranches. My phone is constantly going off saying there is motion detected. Half the time I see nothing and most of the time it is just a bird or a tree branch. Camera quality is good.

Good initial video and audio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased Ring Spotlight camera and installed by Geek Squad several weeks ago to monitor front door traffic. Installation and initial operation, supported by an accompanying Ring Solar Panel for battery charging, went as planned. Video and audio quality were both good. However, the camera images were unavailable after four or five days and Geek Squad service on-site has been unable to achieve a reconnection to the local area network ( though the camera and battery appear to be working). It appears that the camera is no longer connected to the local mesh network but other devices continue to function normally. Reason for disconnect has yet to be determined. Will resolve upon owner’s return to site.

Posted .Hello Dufferdon,
We are thankful for your feedback regarding your experience with the Ring Spotlight Camera. We are constantly pushing ourselves to develop products to empower users with an affordable, effective way to monitor and secure their home. In pursuit of our mission to make neighborhoods safer, when applying technologies to our business, we always consider our three pillars of customer security, privacy, and user control. We understand how important it is to have your devices working as intended, as it offers a level of security in your home.
After reading your review, it seems that your Ring Spotlight Camera is having trouble staying connected to your home wifi. When this occurs, we recommend rebooting your wifi modem and router. Since your router and modem are usually the hardest-working devices in your house, for optimal performance, you should reboot them about once a month. To reboot routers or modems, follow the instructions below:
Unplug your router or modem from its power supply (don’t just turn it off).
If your router and modem are separate, unplug both of them.
Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug them back in.
Wait for your internet to be restored.
Here is a helpful article which walks you through additional steps to take if the issue still persists for you after your modem/router reboot: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217240386-In-app-Setup-Failing-Repeatedly.
Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users, like yourself, have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to issues experienced: https://community.ring.com/.
Thank you, Jamila with Ring.

Worked ok, but had to return
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these because I have the Ring Doorbell and wanted to use one app for home security. I had trouble connecting one of the cameras (out of two) even with an extender. When I got it connected, the signal strength on my app said "Good", but I could rarely get a live view to work. Also, I got a lot of false alarms despite the fact I moved the the sensitivity around to try and get it to work the way I wanted. It picked up cars driving by but , at times, didn't pick me up walking in my driveway. In the end, I returned it and am going to try Arlo Pro.
