Good camera. Easy to set up and use but with some issues:
1) Battery life is short. Need to recharge after ~8 weeks.
2) Camera resolution is low at night.
3) You need to pay ($30/year/camera) to see your own video clips!

Good camera, but terrible battery life. I can’t recommend this product without the solar charger for outdoor use as you have to charge the battery every couple of weeks.

Hello Tom75002,
Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products and services. We truly value your feedback, because it helps us improve not only the product from a consumer standpoint but also our standards of service.
The more events captured by your Ring Spotlight Cam Battery, the more your battery is used to power the live HD Video stream to your device. Even if you do not answer the call, video is still sent from your Ring product to the Ring servers. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner. In addition, the battery is also drained each time you use the Live View to look or speak through your camera. To prevent excessive activity, you can adjust your motion settings to a lower sensitivity, disable certain zones, adjust the motion frequency to best fit your needs, or adjust the direction of your Ring device.
Please reach out to us directly via our community forum at https://community.ring.com, so we can find a solution to best resolve this and ensure the Spotlight Cam is functioning as it was intended. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
All the best, Antonio from Ring

The Ring does not always record everything in motion. There are sometimes when it misses a recording. There's also a delay on the alert. It does have a good picture and video.

Hello Glrangel,
Ring knows the importance of having the motion detection work as intended. It is a valuable feature that is designed to notify you as to who may be near your home. Please know that it is a priority for us to be of assistance and find a resolution to your concern.
Adjustable motion zones is enabled in all battery-powered Ring devices, and uses passive infrared (PIR) sensors to detect motion. By enabling you to adjust the sensitivity of your existing motion sensors, you can receive only the alerts that you care about most. Adjustable motion zones work by identifying visitors based on a change in temperature, and sending a signal to your smart device when it detects one. You can control the sensors' range and sensitivity using the controls in the Ring app. It is also optimized for low-power operations to save on battery power.
Please reach out to us directly via our community forum at https://community.ring.com/ so we can find a solution to best resolve this and ensure the device is functioning as it was intended.
Thank you, Antonio from Ring

The Ring system was able to connect to our internet system without any issues. The only thing that is lacking is the time it takes from the Ring notice of something that passed into the filed and being able to see i\t on the video is too long. should be quicker

Hello LisaAngel7,
Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review on the Ring Spotlight Camera. At Ring, we believe that stronger communities are the key to safer neighborhoods. That is why we are driven to create products that help you protect what matters most at home, and empower you to connect with your visitors from wherever you are. We are saddened to read that this device did not meet your expectations, but are still here to assist you, if needed.
Based on your review, it seems that you are having trouble keeping your Ring Spotlight Camera battery charged. If this is the case, you may want to adjust your motion settings. Motion Frequency is a control in the Ring app that allows you to customize motion alerts to your home environment and preserve battery life. When the areas that you’re monitoring have excessive or repetitive motions, such as children playing in a yard, you may receive too many alerts, which can drain battery-operated devices too fast. Motion frequency controls were designed to help you get the notifications that you want and preserve battery life. Here is a helpful article that explains this feature in more detail: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-Optimizing-Motion-Detection-with-Motion-Frequency.

Works as advertised. I have other Ring cameras and they all work great. I recommend to anyone looking into security cameras. The monthly/yearly monitoring fee is very reasonable.

Works great and in sync with my other Ring alerts. Remember to charge up the battery overnight, which I would have done had I read the directions.
I will buy more for other areas of the property.

The ring spotlight cam is far reaching. It’s been a good choice. However, I still wonder if I should have selected the wired version with the additional cost.

Great camera system. I plugged a solar panel to it and never have to worry about charging battery. Was a add-on to my existing camera system. I would recommend attaching solar panels to the battery camera’s. Very simple to install, very low maintenance.

Works great. The online storage of video is nice and works well, although it does cost money after the 30 day free period. The only issue that I had was that some mounting equipment was missing from the box, and I had to PURCHASE a duplicate set.

We added this cam to go along with our ring doorbell. It's quality is very good and has an extra spot for a second battery. We also added the solar panel. It keeps the battery at 100% all of the time. I highly recommend it. It works great.

Good item, thank you BestBuy team Is it beneficial to place a 2nd battery inside the spotlight so that the solar can charge twice as much ... or was that just a waste to add a 2nd battery?

My backyard doesn't have great visibility from inside our house so I use this to keep an eye on my kids and dogs. I can use my fire TV for a live view which is nice too.
I wish the snooze options were more customizable but not a deal breaker.

Picked up this unit when it was on sale for $159, we already have the doorbell 2 and wanted another camera by the garage. Took a few days to dial in the best motion zone settings, but overall it works as advertised. So far the battery life seems good as well.
