Hello RingFloodlight,

Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review of the Ring Spotlight Camera Battery. 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.

The rechargeable battery for your Spotlight Cam security camera may not need recharging often with normal use. This is dependent on a number of factors in your home environment, such as weather and the number of activities captured. You only need one battery for your Spotlight Cam to work properly. However, if you want extended battery life or don't want to experience any downtime charging the battery, a second battery is available for purchase. Here are step-by-step instructions for recharging the battery on your device: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003325043-Charging-Your-Ring-Spotlight-Cam-Battery.

If you still have the Ring device in your possession, we invite you to reach out to us at https://community.ring.com/.

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.

Hi Justin956. Being able to rely on your Spotlight Cam is key to your peace of mind. The Solar Panel is designed to provide a trickle charge to the battery in your Spotlight Cam so you do not have to manually charge it as often. The Solar Panel needs several hours of direct sunlight per day in order to provide that trickle charge. Various factors can influence how quickly the battery in your Spotlight Cam may discharge, including the number of events the Spotlight Cam records, so it may drain more quickly than it can be charged by the Solar Panel. You can find more information on unexpected battery drain in this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405531384468-How-to-Fix-Unexpected-Battery-Drain-in-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera. If the information in that article doesn't help, try searching the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/ to find solutions from other neighbors. All the best, Ashley from Ring.

When using a solar panel, Ring recommends at least three to four hours of direct sunlight, depending on your usage. Make sure there are no obstructions that could be casting a shadow on your solar power device such as an extended roof, trees branches, or bushes. If your installation area is frequently very cloudy or gets a lot of rain or snow, this could limit the amount of sunlight that your solar power device receives.
The solar panel requires direct sunlight. Filtered/indirect sunlight through the clouds will not provide a charge to your doorbell/camera.

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.
