||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this camera - For my use I wish it recognized cars as well as humans. It is probably better for city dwellers but living in the country I would like to know when a car comes down my drive.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Quality Videos
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality videos. Highly recommend this Ring Camera. These wireless cameras don’t need to charge often. For me after full charge it takes about 45 days to re-charge the battery.
I would recommend this to a friendGift for dad
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dad was looking at these for his house so he can keep an eye on things while my parents go on vacation. They work well but the delay in the live view from the Ring App is frustrating to him. Other than that they’re decent.

Posted .Hello Luigi,
We completely understand the relevance of having your home security up and running. Having peace of mind that your device’s connectivity is solid is also very important. We also expect a product to perform at its optimal use. Please know that we are here to take a deep look into everything and ensure that it gets resolved quickly.
If you received a prompt letting you know your Spotlight Camera Battery device is offline within the Ring app, then multiple (potentially all) of your Ring devices are offline. In this situation, the problem is most likely your wifi connection. This can happen if your internet is temporarily down due to an outage, if for some reason your modem or router was unplugged, if you got a new wireless router, or if the password to your wifi network was changed. In this case, select the Change wifi Network option in Device Health to reconnect your Ring Product to wifi. Here is a helpful article that walks you through the process: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000308463-Multiple-Ring-Products-Offline. In terms of battery life, batteries in Ring devices can go months between recharges with normal use, this is dependent on a number of factors in your home’s environment such as the local weather and the number of activities captured. This article will detail some of the factors that may cause your battery to require more frequent recharges: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/208190773-The-Battery-In-My-Ring-Device-Seems-to-Drain-Too-Fast.

Posted .Hi TALA.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Spotlight Cam Battery so that you can have a longer time between charge cycles. It is critical for a home security device to have enough power to keep your device online and ready to protect you. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.
It sounds like the battery on your device is draining sooner than expected. While you only need one battery for your Spotlight Cam to work properly, you can extend the battery life or avoid any downtime while charging with a second battery (sold separately).
Your Spotlight Cam security camera may not need recharging with normal use. However, this depends on a number of factors in your home environment, such as the weather and the number of activities captured.
If you are experiencing a large number of motion events, we recommend adjusting your motion settings to avoid excess events. You can draw your own custom Motion Zones for your security camera in the Ring app, so your device can focus on the specific areas that are most important to you.
To access Motion Zones, go to Motion Settings on your Ring app and edit the zones by dragging the dots and creating unique shapes to monitor a specific area.
Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors.

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,
Nicole from Ring.

I would recommend this to a friendMixed Results
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been having RSSI/WI-FI problems since installed 6.18.2019. Bought Chime Pro, Extender, and no improvement. Bought and returned a Better (NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK vs VERIZON) ROUTER: NO improvement. Had GEEK SQUAD install a Google Wi-Fi Mesh 3 pack, still no improvement. These RING WI-FI SPOTLIGHT CAMERAS do not capture significant events. GEEK SQUAD is NOT ALLOWED to work on Security Systems in Virginia. Over two months and still have problems. Different installers attempted to solve Wi-Fi problems with RING Support, Philippines. When will BESTBUY GEEK SQUAD Technicians be trained and allowed to make home visits in Virginia?
