Great security for second home
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera added solar so I don’t have to worry about it. Hooked it up at a different location then my current cameras and good to go.
I would recommend this to a friendInstallation couldn't be easier, but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review....but unless you're going to buy a separate solar power adapter, you need to manage batteries. The batteries do last quite a long time (after install I didn't have to touch it for a couple weeks running on a single battery. It supports two.) Checking the battery level is quick and easy (one tap from the viewing the image), and if you have a 3rd battery you can do a hot-swap with one if its dead. Big minus though -- I'm hearing Ring has contracted with hundreds of government agencies, which means technically there are thousands of people who *could* watch your videos without your knowledge. You can decide if that's a problem for you, as there are other camera systems that don't do this.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love everything about it except for the fact the battery drains rapidly. I adjusted what it views/records but it still drains pretty fast

Posted .Hello Johnsonfamily,
Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review of 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 with your Ring Spotlight Camera picking up the correct motion. 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. 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.
If you still have the Ring device in your possession, we invite you to reach out to us at https://community.ring.com/. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback/experiences with Ring. We look forward to hearing from you, if we can be of any further assistance!
Thank you,
Jamila with Ring
Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Ring camera is the third one I purchased for my Dad. He has two other battery Ring cams, and they last for quite a while before replacing the batteries with the backups.
I would recommend this to a friendGood Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality, easy to set up, accasional issues with the app and slow to view notifications. Overall a good deal and does the job. Not a security system but good recordings.
I would recommend this to a friendVery good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought I would see all the things that are going on in my neighborhood like I see it now people out walking all hours of the night and mostly the speeders that I see go past my house Wow this has been a very good change for me.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent weather resistant outdoor spotlight camera especially if you have the Ring monitoring system; all your security devices are all in one app. Would be nice if they can bundle the solar chargers.
I would recommend this to a friendIn love!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to keep an eye on my dogs in the backyard. If you have an echo dot and enable Ring, Alexa can set the live footage on your tv it’s perfect when you’re busy in the kitchen but want to keep tabs on what your kiddos are up to.
I would recommend this to a friendGlad I purchased this...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted the Ring camera but didn't want to pay the the price especially when there are so many options. But the Ring cameras are worth it. The wireless features, the lights and ability to talk to the people through camera are awesome!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera system
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great outdoor light and camera system. Some kids were playing hide and seek at night and I saw them through my camera. I turned on the siren and they went running. Hilarious. Videos could be better quality but it’ll get the job done.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Ok for now
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were so excited about this purchase! The only thing I do not like about this is the batteries. They do not last long at all, we should have paid more for the pro one that hard wires in. Otherwise, it works as expected.
I would recommend this to a friend Bundled Discount
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition to my RING Doorbell. I needed cameras on my pool and side of the house for security and safety reasons. This bundle pack saved money, easy to install and i highly recommend using the Solar panels for complete wireless capability.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent customer service.

Work ok, poor battery life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras work well in Ring’s ecosystem, but the battery life leaves something to be desired. Probably should get an extra battery to extend battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Camera quality
Camera ring good.. camera mount is garbage.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Overall camera is easy to install and the video quality is good. Bad part is the camera mount it uses is limited and is garbage. But its good

Posted .Hi Kenater,
Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us. We strive to deliver quality devices that will serve you in the long run, as we understand that you will be relying on them for your home security. The Ring Spotlight Wire-free Cam installation is intended to be as simple as possible.
This camera can be mounted on a wall or eave by simply changing the direction of the mounting plate. To do this, open the battery compartment. Next, remove the security screw and weather seal. Press the release button and slide the mounting plate down and out. To mount on a wall, reinsert the mounting plate with the ball socket pointing down. This allows for vertical mounting without the need for shims or wedges. The locking collar tightens clockwise and should only take a few turns to fully tighten.
We know that every home is unique, and your mounting needs may differ. Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option which helps you find topics that were already posted by other neighbors. We invite you to visit our site at https://community.ring.com/ today.
Sincerely,
Danielle with Ring
