Ring Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera view is perfect however, the battery life can be an inconvenience. Estimating about 8-10 days . Be mindful that u will have to take the battery out of the camera each time & it takes 24 hrs to fully charge. Ohh & don’t forget about the monthly paid subscription with Ring after the trial period.

Posted .Hi Tachia. If you are having concerns with the battery life of your device, you can try adding a Solar Panel to your device. A Solar Panel only needs 4 hours of sunlight per day to maintain your battery level, with average use. If you have any further questions or concerns, try browsing the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. As our first peer-to-peer forum, the Ring Community allows you to ask questions and interact with other neighbors to discuss your Ring devices. Best wishes, David with Ring.
Not perfect camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well but not perfect camera. Sometimes, it is slow to connect WIFI to view live. Also, paying a subscription is required after 30 days for trial.

I would recommend this to a friendA little overrated. Ok cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good cameras. Make sure not to position too close to walls or the IR leds will just make a black screen in dark conditions. Otherwise good cameras.

Posted .Hello Speaker,
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 keeping your Ring Spotlight Camera battery charged. 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 and preserve battery life. 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/. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback/experiences with Ring. We look forward to hearing from you, if we can be of any further assistance!
Thank you,
Jamila with Ring

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spotlight Cam's are the bomb! Got this instead of a floodlight. Puts out a lot of light. It's hardly noticeable unless you're looking right at it.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. My only complaint is the lag of time between a notification and being able to view the footage. Even going live you have to wait sometimes.

Posted .Hello Sore
We understand how important it is to receive motion notifications in a timely manner. Notification delays are normally attributed to poor wifi or cellular data connections. Do you happen to know what your upload speed is? We recommend running a speed test next to your router and at the mounting location of your Ring device:
Open Ring app
Click on the hamburger menu or 3 lines in the upper left corner
Select devices
Select a Ring device
Select device health
Select "Test your Wifi" under the tools section
Tap "start test"
Tap start to begin the speed test
Once the test is done, tap your phones back button, this will take you back to the Ring App
Enter your results from the speed test
Sometimes, even with high internet speeds, the connection is not as strong at the location of the Ring device. Please reach out to us directly via our community forum at https://community.ring.com/ so we can find a solution to best resolve this and ensure the Spotlight Cam is functioning as it was intended.
Thank you,
Antonio from Ring
