    This is a basic security camera. For the price I paid I thought the picture quality would be better. Also the battery dies so fast. It is a little disappointing but I needed a security camera asap.

    What a great way to save money, buy & add on as you can instead of paying ADT or another company $60 + a month to use their equipment. These are so awesome & you can add up to 10 cameras & pay Ring either $10 a month or $100 per year for complete professional monitoring.

    Poor battery life and night time video. Daytime is good when it detects motion. Sometimes it doesn’t defect until the person is walking away.

    Same issues as other reviewers. When 2 batteries are installed I get the dreaded battery door open . And I see the batteries drain way faster than my ring doorbell.

    Also the batteries don’t seem to last very long. Like the idea of having cameras to possibly deter someone. May refer to friend but doesn’t give me option below. Just yes or no. I’ll make yes but tell them to do their own research.

    Only comes with 1 battery; should come with both. Needed to come back and by Chime Pro to improve my WiFi connection as this is on top of downstairs garage. A hard wire may have been a better choice. Will see how it holds up.

    Love the battery operated camera from ring mainly because don’t have to worry about passing all the wire/cables and works great with 2 batty slots. If you already have $10/month professional alarm monitoring and then getting free video recording from ring makes it even better deal with this camera.

    If you have a spot with no power but can reach your WiFi then this is for you. I put the solar panel on mine and have not seen my battery below 99% yet. If you got power though, get the floodlight cameras. But for certain places this one is great.

    Love the ring cams. The associate was very knowledgeable and helpful. Works like a charm. Got the solar panel as well. No more charging battery and no interruptions in surveillance.

    I love my ring camera. I travel often and it gives me peace of mind that I can check my house no matter where I am . It is also nice to be able to see what kind of weather is affecting where I am now. I am also aware of deliveries when they are made and I am not there.

    Wonderful addition to our ring door bell. I did buy extra batteries to have charge to replace while others recharge. Easy to replace from bottom of camera just press and bottom door pops open and click out and click new one in. Love love love them.

    I have 4 ring cams around my house, they all perform perfectly, 2 are hardwired in and 2 are on battery packs, batteries last a long time, I charge them every 3 weeks.

    What can i say already have one added two more can never be too safe. Seems to work well even in our cold new england winters. They never let you down great quality and real clear view of your home. Ring is a pretty good value .

    My house us weird and doesn't have a good view of my backyard which sucks because I can't see what my kids are up to. I can now though, I can now use my any FireTV to see my backyard and hear what's going on. Or use my phone to communicate and view from anywhere.

    Camera works great, LED lights are nice (not too bright), motion sensor could be better (delayed since it is a batter model). My hardwired cameras motion detection works better to capture. Have these hooked up to solar panels and no issues with 24/7 operations for over two months and counting.

    This one was harder to install than the wired one, only because it says it snaps into the bracket, but you actually have to losses the bracket. Otherwise it has a long battery life, and doesn’t take that long to charge.

    I have a Ring keeping track of activities in the front of our home. I needed to be able to do the same for the back and side yards. The camera's wide angle lens performs this task very well.

    We love this and switched from ADT which was super expensive and now we have no monthly fees. Easy to install and set up. If we have an issue, customer service is super helpful too.

    Like this camera. Only thing I don't like is the Ring application on my phone doesn't work sometimes when I am out. I thought it was supposed to alert you when someone walks up to your house. Mine does not. Considering return.
