Posted .Hi MamaKat, I know it's important to be able to rely on your Spotlight Cam for peace of mind. Battery life is dependent on various factors, including the weather and wifi. I'd recommend reviewing the troubleshooting steps for unexpected battery drain here https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405531384468-How-to-Fix-Unexpected-Battery-Drain-in-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera. Adjusting motion settings to reduce false alerts and improving your wifi signal can help extend the amount of time between recharges. For any additional questions or concerns, check out the Ring Community https://community.ring.com/ for answers from other neighbors. Best, Ashley from Ring.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
What they don't tell you
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is very poor in cold climate areas. What Ring doesn't tell you is that you have to buy a subscription for $10 a month for each camera in order to use the most valuable part of the camera which would be to record a short video clip when motion is detected. It can only be stored in the cloud. What a scam Ring has set up. There is no way to add a memory card or any other way to use this function. If you don't get the subscription from ring the camera is only good for a live view which is delayed somewhat. Even with good internet connection the audio communication is poor or absent. The motion detector has very poor control so that it is difficult to set it in an area that would not be disturbed buy cars going by or animals. Got this for a Christmas present and Best Buy refused to take it back because it was bought on Black Friday, poor ratings for Best Buy also. I purchased a cheap, $40 security camera for in the house that has a video card and stores small Clips when there is motion on the card no need for a subscription and only cost $40 they also offer free cloud storage. Ring is a scam do not buy any of their products.
