Good security camera
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these. Good outdoor camera. Make sure you have a good WiFi broadband. Slow to connect on my older router. Make sure to buy an extra battery or buy the solar charger.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ring spotlight stick-up cameras do not require running an electrical circuit since they are battery powered. The 1080 resolution is clear and the light is surprisingly bright--just what we needed.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Outdoor Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This a great outdoor camera with a wide angle. The lumens from the camera are good enough to view anyone coming on my property.
I would recommend this to a friendNice Camera & light
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition to all around ring security especially with the solar panel connected to it so you don’t have to worry about the recharging the battery.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it has been working as planned. The video clarity is excellent providing sharp pics as needed should someone unwanted shows up at any time. Glad I purchased it!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We installed one in the front of our house and one in the back of the house. It has taken some getting use to the settings so we are not being notified every time a car goes down the street.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
No option to turn off motion detection!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the camera is fine. It does set off a lot of false motion alerts, which you can turn off. My biggest complaint is that you can’t turn off motion detection; so if you are having an outdoor party, it will record the whole thing. This runs down the battery and also is a huge inconvenience and invasion of privacy. I would like to see a software upgrade whereby I can turn off the camera at my discretion. The Ring Stick-Up Camera has this option, but the Spotlight Camera does not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend It's ok but was hoping for better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Blink camera that did just ok and got this to replace it, in hopes it would be much better given the price! I think it does the job but it's not worth that price. I get people walking by my house and this will, sometimes, pick up the image after they've walked by completely and other times it picks it up from the beginning. Inconsistent. I don't know why this doesn't have the advanced motion detection grid like the doorbell model.

Posted .Hello gotpic,
Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review on the Ring Spotlight Camera. At Ring, we believe that stronger communities are the key to safer neighborhoods. That is why we are driven to create products that help you protect what matters most at home, and empower you to connect with your visitors from wherever you are. We are saddened to read that this device did not meet your expectations, but are still here to assist you, if needed.
Based on your review, it seems that you are having trouble with your Ring Spotlight Camera picking me up the correct motion. If this is the case, you may want to adjust your motion settings. Motion Frequency is a control in the Ring app that allows you to customize motion alerts to your home environment. When the areas that you’re monitoring have excessive or repetitive motions, such as children playing in a yard, you may receive too many alerts, which can drain battery-operated devices too fast. Motion frequency controls were designed to help you get the notifications that you want and preserve battery life. Here is a helpful article that explains this feature in more detail: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-Optimizing-Motion-Detection-with-Motion-Frequency.
If you still have the Ring device in your possession, we invite you to reach out to us at https://community.ring.com/.

When security access is amist
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love everything about the ring family. So easy to install especially when you already have another ring camera installed. I recommend to buy the solar panel to keep the battery charged.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really happy with this purchase. I wish I hadn’t mounted one of these slightly behind a TV outside because of the light reflection at night, but that’s on me.

Not impressed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It only records for a few seconds. It will only record longer if you ask it to. I need something that records around the clock. We will be returning.

Wire Free Spotlight Cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera and spotlight for areas without access to electricity. Battery life is based on use, but even with repeated motion and spotlight activity, battery lasted 30 days before needing recharge.
I would recommend this to a friendWireless Security Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good wireless camera option! It works easily with the Ring App and there are a lot of options in the settings to tailor your security settings.
I would recommend this to a friendgreat cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great purchase. can't complain since it not a physical security/cop 24/7 at my house. not even alarm companies will keep intruders away, so don't expect these to do more. lol. it's more of a piece of mind.
I would recommend this to a friendAwesome Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were originally going to go with another brand but since we already had the ring doorbell it just made sense. We are very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friendGood
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a little strifness in the viewing, although im thinking it was my internet connection, i got it for a friend Im living with, I think its silly but shes all about the product
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAnother great Ring product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install with common tools. Integration into existing Ring system was easy. This camera has a dual battery system so changing batteries should not be often.
I would recommend this to a friendWarning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works just as well as all the others i purchased I just have to figure out HOW to deactivate the ringing outside when the camera is activated!
I would recommend this to a friendWireless Spot Light Cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good battery life. It tells you when one battery is run down while it continues to operate on the second battery. This lets you recharge the run down lithium ion battery without any pause in operation.
I would recommend this to a friendNot real user friendly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are just ok as they say. The item is pretty flimsy and I had to take 1 back and exchange it after spending about 20 minutes on the phone to have them tell me it is bad. They really need to design the battery compartment much better. Also, the cameras are a little difficult to find the right angles and such as they cover a lot of area. If you have a busy street in front of your house make sure to get the right angle of the camera or every car that goes by you will get a notification. Overall not bad but for the price they could be better.
