Function's Great, Battery drains FAST!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a fan of Ring since starting to use their doorbell 5 years ago. I needed some cameras, and wanted light for nighttime to scare prowlers away, so these seemed perfect. I asked the salesman at Best Buy how long the battery in each should last me, and he said 3-4 months before recharge. I said GREAT! I can handle changing batteries up on a ladder a few times a year. Unfortunately, even with all motion sensors OFF, the battery lasted less than 2 weeks. I purchased extra batteries for an additional $35, and still the battery seems to drain pretty quickly. Now, looks like I'm going to have to spend another $100 on the solar panels and install those. Also, the signal is weak to the cameras, so I'm going to have to buy the Ring signal booster too. It's a shame, and maybe should have just went with my ADT system after all. The camera function is great and I love the Ring interface. That's my honest opinion. Thanks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Ring
Posted .Hello Edawg,
We, too, believe that nighttime motion detection is very important, since this can be when we feel most vulnerable. Please know that Ring takes your security and peace of mind very seriously. We are here to be of assistance and find a solution to this dilemma.
The more events captured by your Ring Spotlight Cam Battery, the more your battery is used to power the live HD Video stream to your device. Even if you do not answer the call, video is still sent from your Ring product to the Ring servers. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner. In addition, the battery is also drained each time you use the Live View to look or speak through your camera. To prevent excessive activity, you can adjust your motion settings to a lower sensitivity, disable certain zones, adjust the motion frequency to best fit your needs, or adjust the direction of your 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 device is functioning as it was intended.
Thank you,
Antonio from Ring
- Pros mentioned:Ease of use
Just what I needed!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was really easy to install and set up. The one gripe was that I had to spend extra time out in the cold adjusting the camera so motion zones would pick up motion at maximum distances. Repeatedly climbing ladder and setting off motion sensors to see coverage area is a bit tedious, especially in 30 degree weather. Would be much easier if you could see an overlay of the motion zones in the camera view.

Great Security Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ring cameras are easy to install and program. Go ahead and purchase the solar panel for the camera it is an extra $ 50 dollars, but you do not need to worry about charging batteries. The monthly plan for 10 dollars is a good idea, it allow you the home owner to review any activity you might have miss. The 10 dollar plan covers multiple cameras and also the doorbells.

Excellent Security Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work great! They can be mounted anywhere. I would recommend mounting them on eaves of your house. Then point them down some so the lights don't reflect off the eaves at night. Good quality image. Notifications are frequent if you have outside pets. You will have to make adjustments for those. All in all, a good security camera option.
