Good option
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are great. The motion activated light is a nice feature. The battery life has been fine. We charge every 6 weeks, except for the front door camera which requires charging once a month. A subscription fee is required. I went within Arlo and Eufy at another property and am very happy with the same options and no subscription fee.

Not My Preferred Ring Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wired Ring cameras provide better quality video than the wire free cameras. I use the wire free spotlight cam with a solar battery charger so I'm not changing the battery as often. It's a decent Ring if you're recording images closer to the camera. Good for lower level monitoring.

Posted .Hello Steph,
Thank you for taking the time to share your Ring Spotlight Camera experience with us. We are happy to read that the camera is providing you with peace of mind when monitoring your home, and that you've chosen to extend your battery life by adding a Ring Solar Panel. Having clear video of unwelcome visitors is essential in a home security device. Rest assured, we are here to provide you with some education regarding battery life and video quality on your device.
Your Ring Spotlight Camera is designed with a 1080p HD camera. If you are experiencing poor video quality when viewing both the live and recorded video in the Ring application, the problem is almost always some sort of wifi issue like signal or data loss. In rare cases, however, this can be caused by settings in your router. This article will provide several possible solutions that involve adjusting various router settings: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023556192-Fixing-Poor-Audio-Video-Quality-by-Adjusting-Your-Router.

Frustrated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the first 30 days i liked the cameras. They notified me of things ok for the most part. One of my cameras is in an area that gets VERY little action so i didnt hear much from it. The other is on the driveway. When the free 30 days ended i paid the subscription for the driveway only camera but not the side one that doesnt get much action anyway. Since im not paying for the side camera i get constant and i mean CONSTANT notifications all day long “ theres motion at your side”. Iv actually rigged it so it cannot get any action yet i still get these constant notifications! Clearly RING sends out constant fake notifications do that people will say “ohhh noo theres somebody there!!! I dont want to miss anything! I need to be able to see the recorded videos so i better buy the subscription!!!” The other paid camera now doesnt notify me of anything! :( the company is kind of scammy by sending out fake notifications of something being there just to play on peoples fear so they will spend money!!

Posted .Hello Ridingfool,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and leave a review. Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products. We understand how important accurate motion alerts are because they add an extra layer of security. The Ring Spotlight Camera was intended to provide you peace of mind. Rest assured, we are here to provide you with a solution to your concern.
A Ring Protect Plan is not necessary to view real time notifications on your Ring cameras. Without the Ring Protect Plan you can still use the live view and two-way audio feature, you are still able to see who is at your door and answer motion notifications. In order to see past recorded videos from your ring device, you will need the optional Ring Protect Plan, which starts at $3/month per device or $30/year per device. Please see the following link for more information regarding the Ring Protect Plan and the benefits it offers: https://ring.com/protect-plans?undefined. It sounds like your device may have had “People Only” mode enabled when you had the trial video subscription. In your Ring motion settings, you have the ability to refine your motion alert notifications to distinguish between people and other motions using Smart Alerts, with a Ring Protect subscription plan. Here is more information regarding this feature: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032947972-Refining-Your-Motion-Alert-Notifications-for-People-and-Other-Motions-.
