    Tried these cameras they are good, the one thing I didn’t like is that you can’t turn them off, we have the Arlo set as well and it makes it easier with geo to turn them off

      Hello Berto,

      Thank you for leaving a review. We understand how important it is to ensure that the battery is holding its proper charge and how cumbersome recharging the batteries can be. Please know that we are here to resolve these concerns with you today.

      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.

      Ring Community launched in March 2019 to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. It is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback/experiences with Ring. Please reach out at https://community.ring.com/ if any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Spotlight Camera battery and motion concern.

      Thank you, Jamila, with Ring. Ring

    Not Really Impressed

    Not really impressed. The signal strength is not all that good, the unit was about 30' from our WiFi and it constantly showed "low signal". We even got the speaker/repeater and it didn't help. It also had a lot of false alarms. The biggest issue, when we would have an alarm it would take forever to open the viewer, and for record, we had extremely fast internet high speed internet, in the upper 600s.

      Hello NoWakeTX,

       

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We completely understand the relevance of having your home security up and running. Having peace of mind that your device’s connectivity is solid is also very important, We also expect a product to perform at its optimal use.

       

      After reading your review, it seems that you are having trouble with your Spotlight Camera picking up the correct motion. When this occurs, we recommend adjusting your motion settings. For more information on adjusting your motion settings to better fit your needs, please see our help center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022462472-Utilizing-Motion-Detection-with-your-Ring-Battery-Devices. Please pay close attention to the Motion Frequency setting and consider adjusting this to frequent within the Ring App. Frequent gives you the most motion alerts and ensures you don’t miss any activity.

       

       

      Also, if you are noticing that you are having trouble answering your Ring device from your Ring App. If this is the case, we recommend installing the Rapid Ring on your respective smartphone device. Rapid Ring is a "light" version of the classic Ring app with most of the features stripped out except for the ability to activate a Live View and respond to an event as quickly as possible. By using the Rapid Ring app in conjunction with the original Ring app, you'll be able to answer your notifications as quickly as possible. Please see our help center article for more information on the Rapid Ring App: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028023571-Rapid-Ring-App-Information.

       

      Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users, like yourself, have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to issues experienced: https://community.ring.com/.

       
      Thank you, Jamila with Ring Ring
