    I love these cameras. Great picture quality and battery life is great. I've had them up for 2 weeks and still haven't had the need to charge them.

    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%.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Ring - Spotlight Cam Wire-free camera is wonderfully easy to use. We put it outdoors by our patio area. The Ring Spotlight Cam captured video footage of deer and other wildlife walking around in our yard. How wonderful.

    Cameras are finicky. They record when they feel like it. It will catch a cat walking by but won’t record the person walking up the driveway. The video quality is very good when it does record. Love that I can save the videos and send if needed. The “alarm” feature is not loud at all. The light is very bright and works great. If you need real security cameras I suggest going a different route. I o my got these to use at a home I was building. Since they are wireless they fit my needs at the time.

    • Brand response from Ring
      Posted .

      Hello Cillawilla,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ring Spotlight Cam Wire-free. Motion detection is a great feature for your home security, so I understand how vital this is to your peace of mind. I would like to help ensure your camera is capturing accurate motions, and you are getting the most out of your Ring security.

      One item we may want to consider is the physical mounting location of your Ring device. A common instance with this scenario is that the Ring Camera may be mounted too high, or too low to accurately detect motion events. The Spotlight Cam detects motion with Passive Infrared heat detection, so it's important to ensure your camera is mounted at the proper height to take advantage of the device's motion detection capabilities. Find out more about proper mounting height from this helpful article found in the Help Center at Ring.com: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003821023-Proper-Positioning-for-Your-Spotlight-Cam-Battery

      Your experience with Ring has a large impact on the future of our company, and we take your feedback seriously. I would like to invite you to speak with one of our specialized agents to ensure these concerns are addressed with you directly, and to help find a solution that works best for you: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406-Contact-Us

      Thank you,
      Caitlin with Ring Ring
