Just a motion sensor + camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before purchasing this camera, you may interest to know 1. There are different features offered between the wired vs wireless one (i.e. the motion zone). From my testing, there is no way to disable video recording even you lower all sensitivity and remove all zones. 2. Battery life varies in terms of how many alerts you have per day. The first full charge lasts about a month ( maybe I tested a lot at my early stage). Tune a bit seems can last longer than a month. My estimate is around two months then I need to recharge again. 3. The motion schedule is to specify a time not to have motion alert but cannot avoid the camera starts recording when motion occurs. At last, it drains your battery. 4. Motion sensitivity on the battery version is not good at all and do not expect too much. I ended up having lots of video recordings that jams the event history view. 5. Installation is not easy for me. I would like to install to a place that requires drilling. You need to hold your camera for a period of time before the motion sensor reset and start detecting. I hope Ring can add some features to help here just like the motion sensor (test mode). 6. Support is not professional. By the end of the conversation (may last 30 mins to a few hours), you will find yourself doing the following repeatedly (reinstall your mobile apps, remove and add your device back). Overall - It does record when motion occurs (after you install, and test them properly as you want and expected). But you don't dare to touch it as you will never know when the new setting applies which ends up no alert at all - no way to save battery ( this really a missing feature from Ring ) Hope you will find this helpful and good luck !

Solid Camera - Good Pricing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the reliability of the Ring so far along with the video recording. It gives me great comfort getting motion alerts. I have already been able to "catch" some things I otherwise would not have been able to.

Posted .Hello Home,
It is imperative to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security, and the battery life in your Ring camera plays a big role in that. The Ring Spotlight Cam Wire-free is designed to be a DIY home security solution that can be trusted to provide you with lasting service. While Ring batteries can go months between recharges with normal use, this is dependent on a number of factors in your home's environment.
Battery life is heavily dependent on frequency of use, therefore, please consider the following. If you have located your device in a high traffic area, please ensure the motion settings accurately reflect your needs. For example, you could reduce the size of the motion zone to pick unnecessary movement and thus save battery life. If your needs require maximum performance, consider using a Ring Solar or Super Solar Panel. These can help trickle charge the battery and extend the time between manual recharges.
Additionally, the battery life may be affected by poor signal strength. If you've noticed wifi issues, such as poor video quality or trouble connecting to live video, a wifi extender such as the Ring Chime Pro may improve the signal getting to your camera. A cost-effective alternative would be to relocate your router (or camera) in an area that has less interference, even a couple feet can make a big difference.
Please reach out to us today at https://community.ring.com/, where you will find some additional tips for improving the battery life. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Danielle from Ring

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.
Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors.
All the best,
