Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very satisfied with this version of the Ring Camera selection for my intended purpose! I have other wired cameras in other areas but this particular one fit the bill for battery operated without available wiring!! The installation was simple and the video/images are perfectly clear!! Very easy with the Ring app and lots of settings!! Recommend getting 2 batteries because they do not last 6 months!! The more motion it detects the less battery life!! Make sure to install in an area where battery in and out is not a problem!! Mine is 7 foot high on a patio and need step stool at best!! Initial battery charge time lengthy, probably close to 24 hours but after that the next charges much shorter!! Definitely happy with my purchase!! Doing everything I needed it to do!!!

I have 2 of these please the ring 2 doorbell. Easy to set up and install. Picture quality is excellent, day or night. I would suggest buying 2 batteries for each security camera to minimize the amount of times you have to climb a ladder to change them out. Only other draw back is the ring commercial is just that, a commercial and not totally accurate. To go “live” on your phone or tablet to view what is currently happening, there can be a 5-15 second delay before you actually get the live view. The view is not immediate as they show on their commercial. While it did record, if the person does not stay in place, you may or may not be able to confront them via the mic/speaker. I am still happy with the product.

Love the spotlight! After I ordered a different 3rd party devise from Amazon to attach to the house it was easypezy to put up. The original one is impossible to put it up securely.

Love this purchase. Easy to install and setup. Great pictures. Everything works as promised. It took 3 cameras and the ring door bell to get full coverage of my property. One of the cameras above my garage is the lower power cheaper version of flood cam. Thought it might not light up area good. It lights up the area nice and bright. I purchased these separately after I set these up and experienced how well they worked. The subscription was affordable so I spent extra and went with the top protection.

Was a little intimidated by the whole process, but I was definitely wrong. Easy to set up. The hardest part was deciding where to place it outdoors to get the view we wanted. Some adjustment of areas - blowing tress & distance to street & sensitivity of motion. But overall, love the system. We have 1 battery in the camera & well worth it to get the solar panel so you are not climbing up &down a ladder to charge the battery. Solar must spend a few hours a day in the sun & the wire was at least 8-10 feet long, so the solar did not have to be real close to the camera. Overall, love the system, clear pics & easy to use.

I did purchase the Ring floodlight camera but decided to try the spotlight camera first. I have to say that the spotlight cam satisfies my needs. It's small and compact, the video quality is great and the light is bright enough to capture images at night. Setup is a breeze with the ring app. Scan the QR code with the app and follow the on-screen instruction. The provided installation hardware is good. The screws though, horrible. I snap 3 of the 4 screw heads. I would recommend that you pick some up from your local hardware store.

I love this camera! I have two. Please be aware that they don’t come fully charged. The installation team told me this. I wish the salesperson had as well as I could have been charging them while waiting a week before they were installed. The installation team let me charge for fours hours then came back to install. It wasn’t enough of a charge. They’ve been up one month and I was notified by Ring that I need to recharge. The problem is that I don’t own a ladder and these cameras cannot be reached without one.

Easy to install myself and happy with the video and capabilities. Light is also surprisingly bright. It seems two weeks is what I’ll get from the battery so not sure yet how inconvenient this will be to charge twice a month.

Good cameras and easy to use Ring app. Installation is easy as there is no need for running wires. Just make sure you have strong wi-fi signal to the camera when picking a mounting location. You may need to get a wi-fi range extender to keep strong signal to your cameras. Spotlight is good and bright considering its size. The 2 pack saves you $50 compared to buying individually. Live view, spotlight, alarm siren and 2 way audio can be remotely controlled using the Ring app. You do need subscription to Ring app to access recordings after your free trial runs out. The image quality is not the best, but with all the other features it was worth the money for me.

Easy to install, great video quality, and highly recommended by friends/family. Battery life was minimal but the solar panels came in handy.

Really good camera and has a bright light for night time recording, I now have 3 of them and would definitely recommend.

We really appreciate the ease-of-use and functionality of the ring spotlight camera and app. The light shines nice and bright and visibility is fantastic. The alerts and notifications we receive are quite easy to use, and I feel much safer knowing I can see who’s coming and going from my house. One facet that could be improved slightly is the sound/speaker on the camera, as it’s sometimes hard for me to hear what’s happening or being said, and it’s hard for those who are standing underneath the camera to hear me. The battery life also seems to be a bit shorter than advertised, however we purchased the extra battery and have two batteries in our camera, so it hasn’t been a problem overall. Other than that it’s a great product and I would recommend it!

Very impressed with this wireless camera. Picture quality is good and the battery life is very good. It's easy to set up and it comes with all the hardware to mount it. Easy to follow instructions make getting this camera set up and running in no time. The lights are pretty bright if you choose to them on. The speaker is the only thing I would give 1 star to. The sound comes out like you were in a bad drive through. You can hear good but the person at the camera end has a hard time on what your saying. The portability of this camera lets you mount it anywhere within your wifi range.

The battery life is what keeps me from giving this a better review. And this goes for the stick up cams I purchased as well. Overall, I love the ease of setup. It was a snap. I had a ring doorbell so figured I'd give the ring products a try. I bought two stick up cams and this. They all use essentially the same battery. My ring doorbell seems to go off a hundred times a day and the battery lasts for 6 months or longer. My first stick up cam battery lasted 1 week and was dead. My spotlight cam lasted two weeks and was dead. I posted in the ring forums and was told the first cycle was always fast and the second charge would last longer..... I found that to be off. First off, there is no reason my camera should only last a week. I'm technically competent so I had it set up with zones and to not go off constantly. Anyway, the 2nd charge was only marginally better with both batteries lasting about 2 and 1/2 weeks. That is ridiculous in my opinion. The other stick up cam... It's battery has lasted about 2 months. While that's still pretty poor compared to what I expected, it's at least something I can live with. Ring chose to ignore the problem. As far as picture quality goes, I am pleased with that aspect. The functionality is good. The fact that I can see all of them together in my ring app is also nice. But do not put your ring spotlight in a difficult to reach place because you may likely be having to grab that ladder every 2 or 3 weeks to pull that battery. For these types of devices, it would make so much more sense to provide the solar charge kit to go along with it. These types of cameras are usually designed to wart off intruders and have the added drain of a light that comes on, so battery life is imperative. If I had it to over again I would not have stuck with the spotlight cam or the stick up cams and would have returned them sooner in favor of a different option. If your battery dies quickly, it's not going to get much better so decide if that's an issue your ok with, otherwise, I'd check out other options.

I love these cameras. However we were led a bit astray, we asked if there were WiFi cameras availability with recording capability without a membership service. The employee told us as long as we had less than 5 cameras it would be FREE we wouldn’t need a subscription. I have the app. It works great notifying me for motion (except it’s a tad annoying it picks up my cats all throughout the night) it wasn’t a problem at first because I could turn off the notifications and watch the recording back when I woke up making sure it wasn’t any suspicious activity. 30days after having the app. “We’re sorry your trial period has ended” I no longer am able to watch the playback of the recordings without a subscription, specified what I asked in the beginning. So my problem isn’t really with the product itself but being misled... but maybe this will help someone like myself who don’t want to be roped into yet another subscription

Let me start of by saying If i had more time I probably would have returned this device. Unfortunately I did not realize Bestbuy return policy was 14 days. So I'm stuck with it so I will make due. Pros Easy to set up Spotlight is good for area's that do not have electrical hookup Good video quality Two way communication Cons No local storage option Notification times are not quick enough. Takes a while for ring to process the video Battery version and hardwire version are different when it comes to motion zone setup Motion detection is not consistent I think if your in a bind and need something such as a motion light and camera this will potentially due. I just don't like getting a notification then not being able to see quickly what set off the camera. Also having a slide bar for motion detection makes it difficult to figure out what area will set off the detection. Cameras are not consistent. Sometimes the camera will pick me up leaving the property, but when I return there is no detection. Also there is no local storage option, if your internet goes down, then you will have no recordings. So if a criminal cuts your cable line, there will be nothing recording.With these shortcomings , I would only recommend it if you are in a pinch and do not have electrical hookups. I'll make due for now until i can get a real hardwired system.

I have now purchased a few of these spotlight cams by Ring- gotta say I really love them. Pretty good at capturing activity, just make sure you mount them in a good place, follow the recommendations for size of area. Camera works very good. So far, weather has not caused any issues, very easy to install, very easy software program for viewing and recording. I use mine on double batteries (rechargeable) and they last for 1 to 2 months (depending on activity). The night view is pretty decent and sensitivity is good and adjustable. I will most likely continue to add to my fleet of cameras as the investment has been worth it to me.

Purchased this week. Online info indicated system comes ready to go with all batteries at full charge. Not so. Before you even think about installing charge all batteries. Purchase addl battery and charger. Battery in this Spotlight Cam was at 51% when I installed. Had spare battery being charged. Within 3 hours, during daytime on back of home with no activity, battery got down to 3%. Recommend paying more for wire or solar versions or purchase solar panel additionally. Ring Help indicates battery will not last long in cold weather. Temp here was in 50s with sun shining directly on camera with no wind. That being said, has great range, great picture even in low light and outdoor installation was very easy.

Ok so I’m sure you’re wondering why my review is rated so much higher than about 90% of the other reviews pertaining to the Ring Wireless Spotlight Cam. Well here is why...solar! Nearly every single review mentions how falsely advertised the battery is, how you’re lucky to get 6 weeks let alone 6 months usage. I bought these for Black Friday so I saved $50 on the pair, but what I also did was purchase them along with the Ring Solar Panels. Yes you’re spending an additional $100 or so and yes you shouldn’t have to, but...the solar panels basically revolutionized the cameras. After about a weeks use, my batteries have not dropped lower than 98% AND the panels charge them back up to 100% at sunrise. I have a new house, in a new development with construction workers around all hours of the day working on my neighbors’ houses. The other night my cameras caught a worker stealing water from my outdoor spicket...an several deer lurking about as well lol. I would not buy these without the solar panels. The only thing keeping these from 4 stars is the fact that they are so very internet/wi-fi dependant so make sure you have one that’s fast.

So I have ring 2 I bought my friend ring 2. I had no issues and love it she got the spot lights and ring 2. I got the extra battery for her. We were amazed and shocked no 1 said anything about the fact the spot light packs have room for 2 batteries but only come with 1. However they work fine if you only put the 1 battery in it! Super cool plus if she puts the lights up hogh she won't have the trouble of trying to get a ladder each week or 2 and recharge or be with out battery when 1 runs low. Say she goes out of town she just needs buy 2 extra packs anand boom charge um all fill um both with 4 2 come with and 2 extras and now she just lets it run or swaps half out and relapaces the other half super cool. We worried about what when our cable goes out like a power outage but do have tmobile 1 hotspot for free and are going to inquire in regards to this. I also use 1 of mine inside the home as well as no inside stuff from ring has been made that I'm yet aware of. We just love the talk back features and using our cells to answer the door or yell at each other and record our pets and communicate for work or out of town. Its a great product if u have any packages delivered like with amazon and delivers a lot of criminal activity around the home. We live in a bot so great area and it saved my puppy from being stolen the 1st week. Saved me from having a hit and run the 2nd week. And the third my bestfriend was enjoying and now we shear funny videos with each other and an awsome group app called neighbors links intermittently with the app to show your neighbors friends and family who to watch out for and what's happening. My neighbor thanked me for shearing the video when I told him it was me and it saved his dog from the same teen trying to take blue pits. And we shear the funny videos of each other to each others phones and download and enjoy. Its a great security system, dog watcher (helper not for leaving and no sitter) lol, in home security, links with other apps and devices and the neighbors app it links with it will offer to shear with the police if you choose to report as well. All in all a great product and the price is only going up so get ut while u can and buy extra batteries. Only 2 cons cable outrage scary if mobile hot spot won't work and charging batteries if you don't have extra or time. Wished they charged faster. All bennifits besides the 2 little cons. I bought several and plan to keep buying more. You should get the extender if in a multi bedroom home. I dont need 1 but I have a 1 bd 1 bath home and my friend has a multiple room larger family home and does need a wifi extender just for front door all else worked great. So there it all is in a few nut shells. Enjoy and stay charged
