Ring cam
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well. Especially w solar panel. I wish when I turned on the light w it it would just stay on until I turned it off.
I would recommend this to a friendBroad and unnecessary coverage.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Captures ALL movement thereby sending off alarms for even palm branches moving in the wind.
I would recommend this to a friendNot Really Impressed
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not really impressed. The signal strength is not all that good, the unit was about 30' from our WiFi and it constantly showed "low signal". We even got the speaker/repeater and it didn't help. It also had a lot of false alarms. The biggest issue, when we would have an alarm it would take forever to open the viewer, and for record, we had extremely fast internet high speed internet, in the upper 600s.

Posted .Hello NoWakeTX,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. 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.
After reading your review, it seems that you are having trouble with your Spotlight Camera picking up the correct motion. When this occurs, we recommend adjusting your motion settings. For more information on adjusting your motion settings to better fit your needs, please see our help center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022462472-Utilizing-Motion-Detection-with-your-Ring-Battery-Devices. Please pay close attention to the Motion Frequency setting and consider adjusting this to frequent within the Ring App. Frequent gives you the most motion alerts and ensures you don’t miss any activity.
Also, if you are noticing that you are having trouble answering your Ring device from your Ring App. If this is the case, we recommend installing the Rapid Ring on your respective smartphone device.

By using the Rapid Ring app in conjunction with the original Ring app, you'll be able to answer your notifications as quickly as possible. Please see our help center article for more information on the Rapid Ring App: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028023571-Rapid-Ring-App-Information.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ring Spotlight cam is a great camera but what makes it the best is the app. The integrated app and web video storage is what makes it one of the best
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
What they don't tell you
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is very poor in cold climate areas. What Ring doesn't tell you is that you have to buy a subscription for $10 a month for each camera in order to use the most valuable part of the camera which would be to record a short video clip when motion is detected. It can only be stored in the cloud. What a scam Ring has set up. There is no way to add a memory card or any other way to use this function. If you don't get the subscription from ring the camera is only good for a live view which is delayed somewhat. Even with good internet connection the audio communication is poor or absent. The motion detector has very poor control so that it is difficult to set it in an area that would not be disturbed buy cars going by or animals. Got this for a Christmas present and Best Buy refused to take it back because it was bought on Black Friday, poor ratings for Best Buy also. I purchased a cheap, $40 security camera for in the house that has a video card and stores small Clips when there is motion on the card no need for a subscription and only cost $40 they also offer free cloud storage. Ring is a scam do not buy any of their products.
