I have these cameras in my garage and around the outside of my house and garage. Easy to set up, great pictures in real time video. It’s peace of mind and they have an automated voice when someone triggers the motion sensor that warns they are being recorded. Great night vision even better color daylight video. If you opt for the Ring service your videos are recorded and stored in the Cloud. Either way a very potent criminal deterrent.

1st the negative, you have to select a plan with this, there is a free one last I knew of but I felt was basically useless. They have them listed on Rings website. I think it’s important to review that before deciding.
Theres a motion mode where it goes off any time it senses something.. including birds, squirrels, that cat that goes through my yard almost every night around 3 AM.
You can switch it to People mode, it’ll go off only when something about the size of a person is in the area you’ve selected, but this excludes vehicles.
SoI have mine on everything mode... But other than that I do feel like it is worth it, I live in a spotty area and would rather know whats going on.
I like that you can choose the area that it notifies for.
And you can choose if when it senses something if the light turns on or not.
I like that with the app, comes the community around you who also have Ring products and can share anything suspicious, or any issues. You can share Video, Photo and comments. So you know if you need to look out for anything. It’s nice.
The cameras themself weren’t too hard to set up and they feel like they are good quality.
In order to set them up the way I wanted to I had to drill a hole through my house the size of the cable and take apart the back of the camera and wire to get it through he hole then reassemble it. Don’t worry theres a video on Youtube of this guy that will walk you through it.
Other than the yearly cost to back up my videos for a period of time and that cat that sets my Ring off at 3 AM, I think this is a great buy.

I already have the ring doorbell for the front door so I recently purchased the spotlight cam for the back of the house. Really easy to hook up, basically screwing a couple holes to the outside of the house, drill bit included in the box.It works perfectly. Alarm louder that I expected, nice clear video and flood lights are very bright. To me it's a great camera for the cost. works well with my smart phone, no delays from the time I get an alert to the time I connect to my smart phone to view video. I definitely recommend.

This camera works really well. It is a wired model so no problems setting up motion zones. The wired cord is long enough for our needs and ends with a L shaped plug. Need to adjust motion settings because even spiderwebs would activate. The light is plenty bright, though wondering what the bulb life is. It comes with some mounting hardware, but the included screws are too short to attach to siding. I had to attach a wood base first to the siding and then the Ring base to that. It comes with free saved videos for 30 days only. Phone app works pretty well, but takes a few seconds to start live view.

Once you get a Ring device setup it gets easier. Had this camera up and running in 5 minutes. Easy to install, east to set up, great pictures and video and love the options to customize it. The wired version has more options that the battery version so if you have power then buy this one.

I purchased this recently along with a Ring Floodlight camera. I have this mounted on the side of my garage monitoring the driveway section that runs along side the garage where my kids park. Lots of people out checking cars to see if the are open so we thought this was a good investment.
The camera itself works well. It does decent job of picking up motion and activity both during the day and night. The light on it is reasonably bright on its highest setting and lights up the area. I do wish there was a way to control the light to have it stay on during certain times like with the floodlight camera. That seems like it could be added to the software easily.
Very please with my purchase.

Two Ring spotlights

I purchased two of the Ring Spotlights, one for front door and a back door off my deck. Really impressed with the view of the cameras and the amount of angles they cover. Especially appreciate the Ring app and ease of use. I am able to set the Ring spot light to view people only so I don’t hear the chime all the time I am letting my dog outside. I did utilize Best Buy third party installation for both cameras and would give installers high marks for their work and showing me set up and features. I may purchase Ring service later after my 30 day trial ends, but still undecided. However, It is accomplishing what I wanted the spotlights for even without the service should I decided to go that way.

This is installed on my fro t wrap around porch underneath a gazebo on one side of my house. It is pointed towards the other side of the house and covers the driveway, front door, a 2nd entry door and much of the front yard. It is quite sensitive and always seems people moving in those areas. The lights are pretty bright and would light up a decent size area. The video quality is good. I have accessed the camera remotely many times and it works well. Motion notifications to my cell phone work well too. Quality item.

Easy to setup, comes with everything you need to install. You may need a drill and drill bits depending on what you are installing it on. App is easy to use and is one of the most cost effective if you get the subscription. Has a built in motion light and can be customized through the ring app. It detects motion and can be adjusted to your liking. It has night vision and high quality daytime recording. There is a built in mic and speaker for 2 way communication. I highly recommend ring products for anyone looking into personal home or business security.

The Ring Spotlight Cam Wired is a great camera and alert system for home protection. the installation is simple and user friendly.
The integrated spotlight adds light to capture activity and is also a deterrent to would be burglars. The videos are in high-definition output, and also night vision. There is responsive motion detection that can send alerts to ring app, Alexa, Google, email, etc.

I have a Ring pro on my front door and loved it so much that I wanted something for the back patio since I have contracts (lawn, pool, trees, etc) in my backyard. My challenge however is that all the walls on the patio are either stucco or rock, which makes it near impossible to run a hidden power line. So I opted for this option and so far it works great. The lights are pretty bright and the motion detection works as expected.
As for the battery life, it has been in for a couple weeks and it has lost about 10% battery. So I’m guessing it will last about 3 months before it needs a charge. I just ordered a second battery which should double that battery life.
The connection is very quick, it seems to connect much faster than my front door, but in fairness it is closer to the wireless router.
As for installation, I installed it using the provided screws into the frame of my patio door. It actually works perfect there because you can’t really see it and allows me to perfectly position it for motion detection.
My only complaint is the motion zone setup. Unlike the ring pro where I can “draw” motion zones (which significantly helps reduce motion alerts), it only allows you to specify a distance. It really isn’t very intuitive, so I just leave it at mid-range and it seems to work just fine for now.
Beware, in order to have video playback, you do have to subscribe to the ring premium service. And you have to have a subscription per device! I have it for my front door, not sure I’m gonna pay for the back door. That was kind of a bummer to find out I’d have to pay more. It should be a household subscription.
Overall, I’m very happy with the device and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to install solution without wires.

Does it all. Quality built. Quality picture. Easy to install and set up. Motion detects even cats. I don’t care for the light but they don’t make one without the light, not a big deal it works fine just not needed. The price for monthly/yearly subscription is the most reasonable among silmilar brands. You can disassemble the mount to remove the cord, making it easier to route it through the wall. App for the camera is decent and I’m so glad that you can choose a different alert tone for notifications.

We originally purchased the Ring Wireless, but swapped it out for the wired. The cord is very long and reached our outside outlet without any problem. Installation was pretty quick, and set-up easy. We already have the Ring Doorbell, so this is an add on to our Ring system. Easy to adjust the motion ranges too.

Like all ring product, excellent video. Movement activates the light and sends a message via ring tone to our phone/connected devices extra long cord allows you to plug it into a socket, therefore you do not need an electrician to set it up. I own the floodlight camera and ordered this one by mistake, but love it for this use. extremely simple to set up just connect it to your wifi thru the app and you are all set.

We got this after having the wireless outdoor camera. The battery on the wireless didn’t last more than a week at a time so we decided to go old school with plug in and don’t regret it! Easy to set up, light is super bright and best part no batteries to charge! Picture is brag too!

This was so easy to set up. Screwed it in and plugged into an outdoor plug I had available already and set up the app! Detects motion accurately, lights come on and alert is sent to phone. Can speak both ways and hear clearly. This has provided such piece of mind while I have contractors working in the house and I have to go to work!
