    Good alternative if you have no power

    We have several other ring cameras and are very pleased with them. I got this one as it could be placed where I don’t have power to plug one in. I put it in my dog’s kennel to see how it would work. IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR MOTION AREA. I knew this when I got it. On the other cameras you can choose the alert zones by selecting areas on the screen. This unit only has preset distance and area ranges. It also is slower to load and the picture does not appear to be as clear as the wired units. It farther from the router than any other camera. I purchase the second battery so I didn’t have to charge them as often. It was in a location without sun. I don’t use the light function much but it has lasted about a month on one battery. It does get a few trips during the day and we drop in about every other day to live watch the dog. I would go wired if you have the option.

    Waste of money

    This was easy to install and set up but a complete waste of money. Battery life is terrible. I had the light turned off and the motion off and it still only lasts 4-5 days. That is very annoying especially if you have installed it high up and it is not the easiest thing to take battery out to recharge. I did buy the solar panel because I didn't want to have to do that. I have the solar panel pointed directly at the sun and does work, but never enough to keep the camera from dieing. Supposed to work only using 2 hours of sun a day but even with a full day of sun my battery only charged about 3%.

    This works really well and it wasn’t too difficult to install. The camera isn’t very good quality as most ring doorbell products arent, but it gets the job done and the white looks really nice and sleek.

    Great camera, charge doesn’t last

    These cameras and the ring app are very amazing. The product itself is great. However the battery lasts about a week to a week and a half and then you have to get the ladder out, remove the battery and charge it for several hours. You can buy the solar panel for like $70-80 or another battery for $40 ish but after already paying so much for just these two camera, it’s a little disappointing that I have to charge so frequently or just spend more money. Also you can’t view any motion after the first 30 day trial and then you have to buy a monthly plan to see the footage even. Also, was hoping to avoid monthly fees but no such luck. They are cheap ($5-10) a month but still just another monthly charge I don’t like.

    Once I upgraded my router the cameras connected to our wifi and we were off to the races. Easy to mount, the 2 pack was a good value. IM customer service was not real helpful on router issue, I chose a new router, an extender could be a less expensive alternative.

    Great camera just wish the battery lasted longer. They are designed to add a backup battery. They should just design them with a larger battery since they know it will drain in a week. Inspite of that, the Ring products are great.

    Great for the spotlight. I had a mail thief and when paired with the ring mailbox sensor this worked amazingly. Records and uses the spotlight anytime the mailbox is opened.

    I recommend get a solar panel. The units I have that are battery operated need to be charged frequently. With the solar panels, I have been able to monitor the camera for long periods and not need to worry about charging the batteries.

    Great security camera and the Ring software keeps getting better. It does take a while to access the motion videos when notified and takes about 7-10 seconds to go live when attempting to communicate with the person via the microphone.

    These cameras are great! The only issue I have is they are hyper sensitive, and although the advertised battery life is 6-12 months, I have found it to be more like 6-12 weeks. Nonetheless, I would still recommend these cameras, just make sure you buy a second battery!

    Great security camera. I have it outside. I bought it in conjunction with the Ring Doorbell 2.Keep in mind though , you need a good WiFi system (router) in order for it to work outside. Bricks and steel can inhibit it working.
