Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello Electronicgeek2089,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Here at Ring, we hear your concerns and are here to help. Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products. It is important to us that you have all the necessary information needed to ensure that Ring App is performing optimally for you, and that you are able to answer your motion alerts.

Based on your review, it seems that you are having trouble with answering your doorbell from your Ring App. Rapid Ring is a "light" version of the classic Ring app with most of the features stripped out except for the ability to activate a Live View and respond to an event as quickly as possible. By using the Rapid Ring app in conjunction with the original Ring app, you'll be able to answer your notifications as quickly as possible. Please see our help center article for more information on the Rapid Ring App: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028023571-Rapid-Ring-App-Information.

Ring Community launched in March 2019 to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors.

Hello Pat1,

We appreciate you leaving a review. We understand how important it is to ensure that the battery is holding its proper charge and how cumbersome recharging the batteries can be. Please know that we are here to resolve these concerns with you today.

Based on your review, it seems that you are experiencing frequent battery drainage. 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.

We appreciate that you have placed value in owning a Ring device to secure your home and know it's important that it meets your expectations. Please visit our community forum at https://community.ring.com/, as we have some additional solutions we'd love to share with you.

Thank you, Jamila with Ring.

Hi Noel, I'm glad your Stick Up Cam is working well so far. It can definitely take some time to get accustomed to a new device. If you have any questions about your Stick Up Cam, feel free to check out our Help Center for answers https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/sections/360006458791-Stick-Up-Cam-Battery-Solar-3rd-Generation-. You can also browse the Ring Community https://community.ring.com/ to see what other neighbors are saying. All the best, Ashley from Ring.

Hi IneldaU. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring device 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 you are concerned about the battery life of your Ring device. Ring Stick Up Cam is a next-generation security camera that can be used both indoors and outdoors to bolster the security around your home. The Ring Stick Up Cam features 1080p full HD resolution, night vision, two-way audio, HD video recording, and a wide viewing angle. There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal performance.

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.

The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using Live View often 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 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.

If any additional information is needed regarding the battery life of your device, 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.

Thank you for being the best part of Ring! Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Melissa from Ring.

Hi Chase. Being able to utilize all of the features your Stick Up Cam offers is key to your peace of mind. If you are unable to use the Two-Way Talk feature on the Live View, make sure that the Ring app has permission to use your microphone in your phone's settings. You can also find more sound and audio troubleshooting tips in our Help Center article here: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050175212-Audio-and-Sound-Issues-Troubleshooting-Guide. If the suggestions in that article don't resolve this for you, try asking the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. The Ring Community is our peer-to-peer forum where neighbors can interact with and help each other out. Best, Ashley from Ring.

Hi Santi.

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.".

We recommend using the Ring Solar Panel or the Ring Plug-In Adapter to assist with extending the life of the battery in your Ring Stick Up Cam.

Hi neighbor. Setting up a new can sometimes be tricky. As a best practice, it's always a good idea to be in the same room as your WiFi router for setup. You'll also want to make sure that the phone you are using is up to date with it's OS. You can also setup a device using a tablet, such as an iPad. This Help Center article here covers how to setup a device from start to finish: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001773266-Setting-Up-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-generation-in-the-Ring-App. If you have any further questions or concerns, try browsing the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/.

Hello BUYANDRETURN,

Having the freedom to mount your Stickup Camera and change the video’s orientation is imperative to reviewing past video footage. You are correct, the Stick Up Camera does have a ceiling mount bracket that can be installed during set up. Rest assured, we are here to provide you with information regarding this concern.

The Ring Stick Up Cam can be mounted anywhere on a wall or roof, but works best when mounted approximately five to seven feet off the ground. This article details the installation process using the ceiling mount, which is sold separately: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057362691-Installing-your-Stick-up-Cam-Battery-with-the-ceiling-mount.

Hello Gunner,

Hello Amboyroy,

It is imperative to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security and the battery life in your Ring camera plays a big role in that. The Ring Stick Up Cam Battery is designed to be a DIY home security solution that can be trusted to provide you with lasting service. While Ring batteries can go months between recharges with normal use, this is dependent on a number of factors in your home's environment.

Battery life is heavily dependent on frequency of use, therefore, please consider the following. If you have located your device in a high traffic area, please ensure the motion settings accurately reflect your needs. For example, you could reduce the size of the motion zone to pick unnecessary movement and thus save battery life. If your needs require maximum performance, consider using a Ring Solar or Super Solar Panel. These can help trickle charge the battery and extend the time between manual recharges.

Additionally, the battery life may be affected by poor signal strength. If you've noticed wifi issues, such as poor video quality or trouble connecting to live video, a wifi extender such as the Ring Chime Pro may improve the signal getting to your camera. A cost-effective alternative would be to relocate your router (or camera) in an area that has less interference, even a couple feet can make a big difference.

Please reach out to us today at https://community.ring.com/ for additional tips and support! We look forward to helping optimize your battery life.

Thanks,
Alexis with Ring

Hello Zay21,

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.

We do notify our customers about the optional Ring Protect Plan on Best Buy's site under the device specifications, on our (http://ring.com/)website, in your Ring App during the free 30 day trial of our cloud plan, as well as in an email after a successful setup of a Ring device. While subscribed to one of our Protect Plans, it allows you to access videos of every ring, motion and live view event. Without this service, you will still receive real-time video alerts on your smartphone as well as have access to the live view feature.

For any additional installation questions or set up concerns, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/. You can also visit our help site, https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us, for tips & tricks, videos and help articles for all our Ring products.

Hi User.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand the importance of your Ring Stick-Up Cam working consistently and reliably. The features and technology provided by the Ring Stick-Up Cam are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We would love the opportunity to work with you to ensure your device is functioning as intended.

It sounds like your device was previously working but may have lost it's wifi connection. It is possible that your wifi signal is not strong enough where your device is installed. Physical obstructions between your Ring device and wifi router, such as large metal appliances, multiple walls, heavy furniture, or concrete, stone, or other dense building materials, can cause decreased wifi strength. You can try bringing your device closer to your router to set it up again. Allow some time for your device to fully reconnect to the network, then check your wifi signal strength in Device Health to confirm it has successfully reconnected.

If your Ring device gets disconnected from wifi by network or battery error, you'll see a red icon on your Device Dashboard in the Ring app, letting you know your device needs attention. Tap the red icon and follow the instructions on the error screen to help you troubleshoot your issue. You'll see an error code with alphanumeric characters (i.e., P1-65, P1-67, and P5-01), along with suggestions of things to check and things to try. Visit our support center for more information.

Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors.

All the best,
Nicole from Ring.
