Works well, but video quality is just OK.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera works well, and the notifications on the phone are quick (within 5 seconds) when it senses motion. The video quality is its weakness. Definitely not 1080p, as advertised. It’s 480p at best. I tested it next to the router with speeds of 210/20 Mbps. Since it doesn’t support 5G bandwidth, those speeds mean nothing to this camera. They also exaggerate the Ring doorbell’s video resolution; that one is well below standard definition.

Posted .Hi Raul,
We understand how important it is to have clear video from your security devices. The Ring Spotlight Camera is intended to deliver up to 1080p HD video. Although upload speeds do affect the overall performance you get from your device, you should still be able to get great functionality from your camera. We're here to help you find a solution.
If your distance test resulted in the same video quality, it may be due to network congestion. In this case, you can change your current wifi channel to 1, 6, or 11 as they do not overlap other channels. Changing to one of these channels should improve your video quality, and can help with most audio issues as well.
Although we are confident that the above will resolve your issue, we invite you to visit our Community Forum for further advice. You can visit us at https://community.ring.com/.
All the best,
Marlom at Ring
Nice camera and spotlight
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition to our back deck. Love the activity zone features. Very bright. Highly recommend!!
I would recommend this to a friendWow... It lights up too!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty cool add on to the Ring system. It’s small enough to not be obtrusive outside and lights up as well!
I would recommend this to a friendGood for security
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We really like the benefit of have the ability to activate a light on notice of nighttime motion. The light casts a glare, though, and makes it hard to see anything.
I would recommend this to a friendIt's okay, gets the job done, but could be better.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not quite a bright as I'd hope, but gets the job done. If you have a large area/driveway that needs to be monitored, get a floodlight camera. This isn't going to work well. I have 400mbps internet , and this has a pretty bad delay sometimes. Not sure what the issue is, but luckily something hasn't happened and the lag has caused issues

Posted .Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the Spotlight Cam Battery. Great callout that a Floodlight Cam may work better for neighbors who have a larger area that they want coverage for. Wifi signals don't travel very well outside of the home, which can sometimes cause instability for devices that are set up outside. I'd recommend testing your wifi where your Spotlight Cam is installed to get a better idea of the signal strength https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020638172-Test-Your-Wifi-Connections. For any other questions or concerns, try browsing the Ring Community https://community.ring.com/ to find answers from other neighbors. Best, Ashley from Ring.
Good product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good but I’m not sure how long it’s going to hold up in the weather. Barrie’s have lasted a month so that’s great. Love the motion activated lights and sirens

I would recommend this to a friendNot bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What I don’t like about ring is that it takes 2 mins for recent activitiy to upload. So If you miss the current activity you have to wait for it to upload to review it
