This is my first time buying a security camera. It’s a really nice unit and super easy to set up! I live in an apartment and it works perfectly for what I need it for. Overall it’s a great camera!

The camera works pretty well with the exception of the notifications. We can seen delays from a few seconds to up to a half an hour when someone comes to our door.
Picture quality is great, voice quality when talking to the people at the door not so much.

Great, easy to install, and work great. I wish the lights were a bit brighter but for working off a battery and not being hard wired I'd be hard pressed to expect more.

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.

Clear picture even at night. I had trouble figuring out how to prevent the motion detector light from coming on every time we walked into a room but realized it was in the Motion Settings. Simply turning Lights off in the app did not work.

It is a great product that offers home security.
The Best Buy installers did an amazing job and explained everything to me. I took out the service contract and it made installation simple at a great price.

Purchased this for my son and daughter-in-law because they do not like answering the door without knowing who is on the other side. We helped them set it up, very simple setup and user friendly.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
