    This keeps our ring working throughout the year. Where we placed the ring there wasn’t a plug. So this has been perfect.

    Does a great job of charging my Ring Floodlight. Had to remove a star as the base could use a swivel instead of just a pivot but was able to get it to work.

    I love the Ring security system; while the batteries last quite a while, it's nice not to have to crawl onto the roof just to change a battery.

    Needs to have more degrees of freedom to position the panel after being attached, but the indirect sunlight it catches still does a pretty good job at charging the camera battery for the few hours it lasts.

    Disappointed loyal customer

    I am a ring customer. I own two hard wired ring door bells and a hard wired ring flood light. So when I found someone trespassing on my property in a area that didn’t have a camera I turned to another ring product. The reason I don’t have a camera in this particular area is because I have no electric I could hard wire a video camera to. The battery operated spot light made sense to buy. It was easy to assemble, but that was the only good thing about this product. After I hooked up the spot light and the solar panel that they recommend to buy with it,I put a completely changed battery in and programmed the device to my other ring products. It work well for about two days then that was it. The battery kept draining too quickly. The battery lasted about two full days and that was with the solar panel attached. So I climbed up the 9ft ladder took out the battery and charged it , I also moved the solar panel to a better position so the sun can hit it more directly. Once the battery was charged I put it back in and again the battery drained in two full days. It turns out, since I live in a cold weather climate the battery drains too quickly once the temperature goes below 32f or 0 c. I knew this before I bought the product but they stated if the solar panel is connected and it receives 5 hrs of direct sunlight a day it will keep the battery charged. That was a complete fabrication. I positioned the solar panel on my roof that it received sunlight for the entire day and it only charged the battery about 15%. Not enough to keep the charge with the cold weather draining the battery so quickly.. I also discovered that if you have more than three ring products joined together that it slows the system down so there is delays to your video feeds,Horrible. I was very disappointed overall with this product and finding out that having more than three products on the same system delays the video feed. Never buy this product If you live in a cold climate or need more than three devices, definitely not worth the price.

      Hi Danny,

      These are important factors to consider when purchasing a system that works best for your home, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. As you mentioned, the battery in the Ring Spotlight Cam can struggle when working in colder climates. As the Ring camera operates solely on the battery, it's important to note how the Solar Panel is intended to work in unison with the camera. Your Solar Panel is intended to provide a trickle charge to the connected device over periods of inactivity and with adequate sunlight absorption.

      From what you explained, it does sound like that Solar Panel is providing that, which is great! We do hear your concerns with the battery life of your camera, and would love to reach out to you directly to help find a solution that works best for you.

      Please reach out to us at your earliest convenience, so we may get you connected with a product specialist as soon as possible. At that time we may also address the bandwidth concerns you are experiencing on your network to help you feel confident in your Ring security again.

      Best,
      Caitlin with Ring Ring

    Ring needs to update their packages, because the directions inside are wrong. Once I called in, it was very easy to set up and use.
