I would recommend this to a friendDon't waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're buying this to mount on the side of your house don't bother and invest in a different model. I have a total of 4 cameras on the outside of my house and the only one I'm having an issue with is the one that is mounted on the side. The point of installing the side camera was to have a view of the side of my house or see if anyone is trespassing on my property. The way the camera is built straight out of the box, when mounted to the side of the house, points at my neighbor which I'm pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate being under surveillance. I was able to mount the camera on the side of the house at an angle that during the day has an appropriate view of anyone that walks on the side. At night you can't see anything. You can make out figures but if someone broke into the house you would not have a clear view of who it is or what they look like. I contacted support and was basically told there's nothing I can do other than reposition the camera which would in turn not show anything I need to see other than my neighbors house. It's unfortunate to spend all this money on a camera I can't essentially use which is a shame. The other camera I haven't had an issue with which is also essentially positioned the same way with no issues.

I would recommend this to a friendPeace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is exactly what I wanted and needed. I like that I can see who is coming and going, while I’m at work.
I would recommend this to a friendGood product but worth getting upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Any Ring product is a good and must have for any home in my opinion. I’m a huge San if the entire life of products. But I wasn’t a fan of this model. After purchasing it I also got the upgraded model and found it to be worth the extra money. I’d prefer using this model inside the home as oppose to outside as I planned. I don’t regret the purchase but would definitely recommend paying the extra money for the upgrade.

Great purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras work great. I researched all of the top brands of cameras, and settled on the Ring cameras.
I would recommend this to a friendDescent camera, not great:
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all the cameras are very expensive which is not good! The cameras do display a good picture when the signal is strong however, depending on the placement of cameras the farther away from router the slower the signal to respond. Also the batteries must be fully charged before you can set up cameras and this takes a very long time, almost 8 or 9 hours. Not to mention they seem to run down pretty fast and a back up battery cost an additional $30.00.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat Camera

Posted .Hello Jenn,
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/.
