    The ring cameras work great, but I really did not realize after 90 days you have to pay $5 a camera per month to have any recording capability. And when installed, two cameras were not available for solar panels, so you have to make sure they can be hardwired. I have to get a ladder, and recharge the batteries in the cameras every month.

    Love the ring cameras. Able to see who has or is in the view of the camera around your home or wherever you place the camera. The lights light up the area in view of the camera so as to be able to see better who or what triggered it to turn on. Also love the feature to be able to speak through the camera if needed. Recommend this product to others.

    Love this camera however we bought it in place of a Ring doorbell because of the doorbell placement. I think it is better suited for an area that you need a wider view and that does not have traffic in range. We are thinking of moving it to the side of our house and buying the doorbell. The 2nd battery is a must. Makes it last a very long time.

    I bought these because I have the Ring Doorbell and wanted to use one app for home security. I had trouble connecting one of the cameras (out of two) even with an extender. When I got it connected, the signal strength on my app said "Good", but I could rarely get a live view to work. Also, I got a lot of false alarms despite the fact I moved the the sensitivity around to try and get it to work the way I wanted. It picked up cars driving by but , at times, didn't pick me up walking in my driveway. In the end, I returned it and am going to try Arlo Pro.

    Motion-Detected Events

    It’s important to know what to expect when purchasing this camera + spotlight. It does a great job, in my experience, of lighting up an area when motion is detected. I don’t particularly like that it does not record continuous video. Instead you will be greeted with a timeline on their app of motion-detected events. Playback of what happened during the day between motion-detected events are limited to “snapshots” of a user-specified time interval. Personally, I like how other camera’s (like the Google Nest) will let you watch playback of the entire day if you chose to do so. Another gripe is that night-vision is not so good - - I believe the wired versions serve up a better night-vision experience, if that is important for you. Overall, I think it’s a good product with great build quality but I wish it had a few more features in the playback department.

      Hello Cfeli376,

      Out of the box, your Ring Spotlight Cam is designed to keep you connected to your home in real time, no matter where you are. When you add an optional Ring Protect Plan, for as little as $3/month per device, videos of each ring, motion, and live view event are stored in the cloud, allowing you to review, share, and save them at your leisure.

      Without a plan, you will still receive real time motion and ring alerts, as well as have access to the Ring live view feature. We would love to connect with you to address your concerns. Please reach out to us directly via our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.

      Thank you,
      Antonio from Ring Ring

    I would highly recommend this camera for areas of your house that could be a target for intruders. The battery life is great! The set up is fast and easy. The camera works off of wifi and I can obviously view it from anywhere. It is a nice and fairly inexpensive device the keep your family and home safe.

    So glad I bought these! Started having some issues so got these to try and figure out who was lurking around at night. First night up caught someone around our vehicle at 4am! Then found a drunk driver passed out at the beginning of my driveway. Called authorities and he was arrested and car towed. Direct contact and views to my smart phone! Highly recommended!

    Decent little spotlight camera but could definitely use some software updates or improvements. Motion detection is set off by birds and squirrels and even the wind blowing around tree ranches. My phone is constantly going off saying there is motion detected. Half the time I see nothing and most of the time it is just a bird or a tree branch. Camera quality is good.

    The RING products are great! Your Best Buy staff was very knowledgeable also. This equipment is Easy to install and really gave us peace of mind. We did use the technical support phone line later when we were evaluating some additional cameras and the staff was wonderful. We would highly recommend.

    Purchase this due to us becoming a fan of our ring doorbell. This could not be easier to install and the video quality is excellent as long as your Wi-Fi signal is strong at the location you were installing. My only suggestion would be to purchase the second battery so you can have a longer lifespan on the battery charges.
