    These motion cameras work well. I gave them 4 stars because the battery doesn’t last as long as I thought it would when there is a lot of activity. I suggest adding a second battery for longer use.

    Installed one cam in front yard and one in backyard on a wooden pergola. Simple enough for an an un-handy person like myself. No drills needed. Really like the panorama view and the ability to adjust it. Love the” live “ view option. Worth the money!

    Awesome camera u can talk and it has a light to talk to people. We were on vacation and talked to someone we though was breaking into our house and it was crystal clear. Buy an extra battery for each (comes with one but hold up to 2).

    We bought two. The cameras are very responsive with clear videos. We also bought the solar panels for each. One panel works great and the other struggles to get enough light.

    I enjoy the cameras and the sense of security but they’re pretty sensitive, even when you scale back the motion detection. If a plant blows hard enough in the wind, it might set it off. Just be very thoughtful when placing your camera. Great quality picture though.

    This is my 3rd Spotlight purchase. I bought one for myself and the two others for my son’s and daughter’s house. All three were installed on the back porch to catch suspicious activity. I would definitely recommend this item.

    Battery life was short until I got solar panel that I purchased separately. so battery now is not an issue. The only issue I have is that I get fogging and dewing on the lens. Other than that it works fine and I would recommend it.

    Once you go RING, there is no going back. Easy to connect. Pictures very good. I ended up buying a few more for the whole home. Once connected, no need for anything else to be done.

    Works great. Took about 3 weeks before I had to charge the battery. Set up was fairly simple. I couldn't put the camera anywhere I wanted as some areas were not within range of wifi router. App is user friendly.

    These paired to blue tooth easy. Loved them, but they did not love where I had to put them. They had great night vision....just not through a window. I need them for night. Not allowed to stick them on outside of apartment building.

    DO NOT PURCHASE BEST BUY TOTAL MEMBERSHIP PLAN

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am highly dissatisfied with my Best Buy Total Membership Plan. I returned multiple devices for my Ring surveillance that I had purchased for my home and families safety and protection. The devices were defected and non functional. I had to have Geek Squad come to my residence multiple times to uninstall and reinstall new Ring surveillance cameras for my residence which was a head ache alone in itself. I also, had negative phone interactions and negative in person encounterments with Best Buy Associates. Overall, I am highly dissatisfied with the services and products purchased at Best Buy. Now I am stuck with products that do no work with no coverage that Best Buy was unwilling to provide a solution to the problem for the entire inconvenience caused to me and my family.

    I had to purchase this item because I have the Ring doorbell and floodlight camera and wanted to keep all my cameras on the same system. I wish the materials were more sturdy. Because it was thin plastic, I was very gentle during installation. I also wish it came with a foam gasket to keep the rain from getting into the unit where the unit is attached to the house. I sure hope that it will withstand the elements of the rain, sun, and flying dirt from the wind. Because the unit only had 1 a single rechargeable battery, but has two slots, I will have to purchase a 2nd battery.

    I love the ring camera but i dont like that the way you have to set it up to save battery usuage it delays recordings if something happens and that really defeats its purpose! Most likely if something happens it will not record it!!!!!!

    Purchased the Ring wireless camera for an outdoor patio structure and the picture quality and wifi range have been up to expectations and the battery life (single cartridge that comes with camera) exceeded expectations. Works well on the Ring app.

    Still getting used to this item. I noticed the last coupe days being dreary I wasn't getting notices as much which concerned me. It was fully charged by the solar panel I added. My family has one and loves it.
