Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello Badcamera,

Thank you for leaving a review. Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products and services. We truly value our consumer's feedback, simply because it helps us improve not only the product from a consumer standpoint but also our standards of service. If you are noticing that the battery in your Ring Stickup Camera is dying we recommend adjusting your motion settings as frequent motion alerts can drain your battery faster.

While batteries in Ring devices can go months between recharges with normal use, this is dependent on a number of factors in your home’s environment such as the local weather and the number of activities captured. This article will detail some of the factors that may cause your battery to require more frequent recharges: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/208190773.Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors.

Hi Jeffrey. Motion detection is a key feature on your Stick Up Cam, and I'm glad to hear you were able to process a return with the original retailer. There are some troubleshooting steps available if you find that the motion detection doesn't appear to be working on one of your Ring devices. For more information, review this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042728431-Advanced-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Devices. We also have the Ring Community, our peer-to-peer forum, where you can ask other neighbors and see what solutions worked for them. You can access the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. Best, Ashley from Ring.

Hi AlyPon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of receiving alerts from your Ring Stick Up Cam as needed so that you can effectively monitor your home. The Ring Stick Up Cam was designed with customizable settings to allow for adjustability to suit your needs. We can definitely provide you with more information to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal performance to receive the alerts that you want.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. If you don't have a Ring Alarm, we recommend using Motion Schedules. With Motion Schedules, you can schedule periods of time when you don't want to receive Motion Alerts from your Ring camera.

For example, if you know the trash is picked up every Tuesday between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m., you may want to turn off your Motion Alerts during that time frame.

How to create a Motion Schedule
Open the Ring app.
Tap the top Menu (≡).
Tap Devices.
Select the device you'd like to apply the Motion Schedule to.
Tap Motion Settings.
Tap Motion Schedules.
Tap Add Schedule.
Name your schedule (Night Time, Morning, Evening, Custom).
Tap Continue.
Select the time frame you'd like to Turn Alerts Off or Turn Alerts On. (e.g. 1:00 a.m.- 6:00 a.m).
Tap Continue.
Select the days of the week you'd like to apply the schedule to.
Tap on the circles to enable the day you'd like to apply to the schedule.
Save your Settings.
Toggle a Motion Schedule on or off
Once you have created a Motion Schedule, it will appear in a list on the Motion Schedule page. You can toggle the item(s) on or off from the list by tapping on the toggle control button on the right.

If the toggle is blue, the rule is enabled (turned on).
If the toggle is white, the rule is disabled (turned off).

You can edit each Motion Schedule to avoid getting Motion Alerts during certain times and days.

Open the Ring app.
Tap the top Menu (≡).
Tap Devices.
Select the device you'd like to apply the Motion Schedule to.
Tap Motion Settings.
Tap Motion Schedules.
Under Motion Schedules, select the Motion Schedule you'd like to edit (e.g. Schedule 1).
Tap on the schedule you've created and edit the Name, Timeframe, and Days of the Week.
Delete a Motion Schedule
Tap on the Motion Schedule you've created under Motion Schedules.
A red trash can icon with Remove this Schedule will appear. Tap on it and confirm that you'd like to remove the Motion Schedule during the time frame you selected.

We invite you to reach out to our community if any additional information is needed regarding your question. The Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another by sharing their feedback and experiences with each other.

Hello Camera,

Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products and services. We truly value your feedback, because it helps us improve not only the product from a consumer standpoint but also our standards of service.

The more events captured by your Ring Stick Up Cam, the more your battery is used to power the live HD Video stream to your device. Even if you do not answer the call, video is still sent from your Ring product to the Ring servers. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner. In addition, the battery is also drained each time you use the Live View to look or speak through your camera. To prevent excessive activity, you can adjust your motion settings to a lower sensitivity, disable certain zones, adjust the motion frequency to best fit your needs, or adjust the direction of your Ring device.

Please reach out to us directly via our community forum at https://community.ring.com/ so we can find a solution to best resolve this and ensure the device is functioning as it was intended.

Thank you,
Antonio from Ring

Hi Lights.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a consistent wifi signal on the Ring Stick Up Cam. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.

It sounds like you experienced some connection issues with the device. Usually, devices falling offline repeatedly is related to poor wifi connectivity caused by signal fluctuations, channel congestion, or data loss.

To determine whether or not the problem is caused by poor upload speed, run a speed test to determine if your network can support Ring devices. In edition to ensuring that you have sufficient wifi speeds, you will also want to check the signal strength of your device. Ring devices with 1080p video require at least 1 Mbps upload and download speeds, though 2 Mbps is recommended for optimal performance.

A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range. The recommended range for optimal performance is 0 to -60 for the RSSI.

If your networking equipment hasn’t been power cycled in a while, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. Wireless networks utilize different channels for communication. In the United States, the 2.4 GHz band uses channels 1-11 and the 5 GHz band uses channels 36-165. In some cases, setting up your Ring device(s) can fail due to wireless interference or congestion.

We also recommend adding a Ring Chime Pro to your network. The Ring Chime Pro simply plugs into a wall outlet between your router and the Ring Stick Up Cam to assist with the wifi signal strength to the device.

If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Stick Up Cam, please reach out to our community. 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 directly with Ring.

Hi GeorgeD.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Stick Up Cam so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here to provide you with some education to resolve the battery life issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. The Ring Stick Up Cam is our leading indoor and outdoor-ready security camera with flexible mounting options. There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal battery-life performance. The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using "Live View" can also drain your battery faster. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner.

To prevent excessive activity, under "Motion Settings" for your device in the Ring app, you can:

Adjust your "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a lower sensitivity.
Redraw your "Customizable Motion Zones."
Change "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.

You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.

To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app:

Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage."
Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length.".

As cold weather sets in, lithium-ion batteries like those used in Ring Doorbells and Security Cameras may experience several issues, including trouble holding a charge, running out of power faster than normal, or losing functionality. Knowing at what temperature batteries will start to be impacted can help you take the necessary steps to keep your device working. When the temperature drops to:

36°F (3°C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in having to charge the unit more frequently.
32°F (0°C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery.
-5°F (-20.5°C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up.

When it gets cold and your device's battery runs out, bring your entire device inside and charge the battery with a USB cord. This will allow your device to warm up while the battery charges.

We recommend using the Ring Solar Panel or the Ring Plug-In Adapter to assist with extending the life of the battery in your camera. The Ring Plug-in Adapter (2nd Generation) is designed to convert battery-powered cameras so that they can run using line current.

Hello Robt,

The Ring Stick Up Cam is designed to connect you to 1080p HD video consistently and reliably. We understand how important the video feature is, as this allows you to see your visitors. Poor video quality or connectivity can sometimes be caused by a wifi issue. We recommend running a distance test in order to discover what video resolution you are receiving at your router, compared to how it performs when mounted. For the best results, please do the following:

1. Remove your Ring Camera from its mounting and bring it into the same room as your wifi router.
2. Be sure you've turned off your cellular data and connected to the same 2.4GHz wifi network as your Ring device.
3. Open your Ring app on your smart-phone or tablet.
4. Trigger a motion event on your Ring Camera.
5. Examine the resulting video.

There are two possibilities that will occur during the distance test: the device will have crisp and clear video as it is intended to have, or the video will still be of poor quality.

If you find that the video is clear and you are connected fast, then we recommend improving the wifi signal to your Ring camera by connecting it to a wifi extender, such as the Ring Chime Pro. However, if you find that the video is still of poor quality or takes too long to load, then you will want to address issues with your wifi speeds.

Please reach out to us today at https://community.ring.com/ for additional tips and support, if needed.

Hello Greek,

We are thankful for your feedback regarding your experience with the Ring Stickup Camera. We are constantly pushing ourselves to develop products to empower users with an affordable, effective way to monitor and secure their home. In pursuit of our mission to make neighborhoods safer, when applying technologies to our business, we always consider our three pillars of customer security, privacy, and user control. We understand how important it is to have your devices working as intended, as it offers a level of security in your home.

After reading your review, it seems that your Ring Stickup Camera is having trouble staying connected to your home wifi. When this occurs, we recommend rebooting your wifi modem and router. Since your router and modem are usually the hardest-working devices in your house, for optimal performance, you should reboot them about once a month. To reboot routers or modems, follow the instructions below:

Unplug your router or modem from its power supply (don’t just turn it off).

If your router and modem are separate, unplug both of them.

Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug them back in.

Wait for your internet to be restored.

Here is a helpful article which walks you through additional steps to take if the issue still persists for you after your modem/router reboot: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217240386-In-app-Setup-Failing-Repeatedly.

Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users, like yourself, have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to issues experienced: https://community.ring.com/.
