Can’t Believe the savings
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the longest time I was paying for a monitoring service for my security cameras. Well now I don’t have to because Ring is simply awesome. No monthly fees, only additional cost is for the cloud storage for your recorded data but it’s totally optional and upto you if you want to get the additional service which by the way I strongly encourage that you do. Even with the additional services it was still more cost effective to pay for the service for a year compared to what you would be spending on those other service companies, and best of all NO CONTRACTS. I wish I would’ve thought about this sooner, yes the initial cost might seem high but the money you save is well worth the investment.

Horrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible. Battery drains fast on minimal settings. Solar power doesn’t charge fast batteries enough and when it snows, the lens gets covered in ice and snow. When battery drains it disconnects from Wi-Fi so I have to drive half hour to keep resetting the Wi-Fi connection. So not recommend.

Posted .Hi Mlh85.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring Spotlight Cam Battery online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device, such as the Ring Spotlight Cam, is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.
It sounds like the battery is draining faster than expected on your Ring Spotlight Cam. There are different settings that can be adjusted in the Ring app to help prolong the battery life of your device.
Motion Frequency is a control in the Ring App that allows you to customize Motion Alerts to your home environment and preserve battery life.
Ring devices detect motion patterns and frequencies. The Motion Frequency Controls help adjust the devices for repetitive patterns of motion. The following Motion Frequency Controls can be found in the Ring app:
Frequently: Motion detection always stays active, resulting in the shortest battery life.
Regularly: Motion detection takes a short break after each Motion Alert. Medium battery life.
Periodically: Motion detection takes a longer break after each alert. Maximum battery life.
Extremely cold weather has unfortunate effects on lithium-ion batteries, such as those used in Ring devices. As the temperature drops, these batteries begin to have trouble holding a charge, and if it gets cold enough, they'll stop working altogether. As a result, at certain temperatures, the batteries in your Ring device may run out of power faster than expected and may need to be recharged more often. If your device falls offline due to low power, it should reconnect itself once power is restored.
