    I’m very satisfied with this product. I had my doubts on the battery life, and it exceeded my expectations tremendously. Battery life with one battery is well over a month.

    Best addition if you’re looking for additional security to your home. Adding a solar panel has helped as I’ve yet needed to charge the battery. Recommended buy as well.

      Hello Personaltrainer7729,

      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!

    These cameras seem to be a great way to add security in an instant to your home. However there are some flaws as your WiFi connectivity could be an issue and also the fact that the batteries do not last very long at all. Been on the phone with ring several times and they are very helpful but charging batteries every two weeks is not realistic. Not pleased with that aspect.

    We put this up next to our patio area and it works great. You can limit motion zones and it alerts you when it picks up people and not our shade covers. Definitely recommend this.

    This camera Installed a few weeks ago. Day color vision is great. Night vision is not what I thought it would be. (I bought for evening visibility.) Night vision is grey and black and no clear visibility of what's moving, meaning animal or person. And I do have quite a few garden lights in the ground but does not give enough lighting. . I will have to install some type of wall light in order to get clear color night vision. Would not recommend without additional wall lighting. However I do have 2 ring motion flood lights that I love and recommend highly.

      Hello OEL6,

      At Ring, we strive for excellent service and support for every one of our customers. Ring is very proud of our team members and can assure you that your happiness and overall satisfaction with Ring is our top priority. We appreciate your feedback with regard to the experience that you have had with our support team. Rest assured, we are still here to help you resolve your Spotlight Camera’s night vision concerns and ensure you have a security device you can rely on. 

      Certain models of Ring devices have a night vision feature that allows you to see through the camera in low light conditions. By using infrared light, the camera can create a black and white image that is then beamed to the Live View in your app. By turning the color night vision feature on, the camera will use whatever ambient light is available to try and create a "false color" image in your Live View. This lets you get a better sense of what’s happening in the image by creating a false sense of color depth. Here is a helpful article that walks you through how to enable this feature: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038559351-Understanding-Color-Night-Vision-and-Troubleshooting-Night-Vision

      At Ring, we are constantly innovating on behalf of our customers to develop products that best meet their home and security needs and provide them with as much choice as possible. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences with Ring. We invite you to reach out at https://community.ring.com/if you have any additional questions or feedback regarding your Ring Spotlight product. We look forward to hearing from you!

    I bought 2 of these. Good outdoor camera. Make sure you have a good WiFi broadband. Slow to connect on my older router. Make sure to buy an extra battery or buy the solar charger.
