Customers highly value the camera's picture quality and ease of use, with many praising its simple installation. However, some users express concerns regarding battery life and motion detection reliability. The availability of a solar panel is also a plus for many. While some appreciate the wireless functionality and affordable price, others find the night vision and cloud storage options lacking.
I love everything about this camera. From the form and function to the ease of setup (less than 2 mins) to mounting it wherever I want. The app is great, the two way communication is great. The motion zones work perfectly once you get used to setting them based on your environment and traffic, etc. The cloud storage option is amazing considering what you get for the price you pay. Everything is amazing, except the actual video quality of the camera. It's supposed to be 720p. It is not, at least not the unit that I have. My video quality is so heavily pixelated most of the time, that it renders having this camera in the first place, useless. The image attached to this review is an completely unedited screen grab from a recent video recording. I've been working with the Ring support, and they have been great, however they kept almost insisting that the reason for the pixelation was due to my wi-fi connection. I have Xfinity cable internet with 100mbps downstream and 25mbps upstream, and I use a Linksys EA9500 router that is about 12-15 feet from where the camera is mounted. Wi-fi signal is not the issue at all. I exchanged speed test screen shots and other details with the Ring support, and after discussing with them they have advised me to return this unit and exchange it for another one. They have looked at my videos and agree the video quality should be better than what I'm seeing. So I will do that and update this review if I do see better results with the new unit. Wish me luck!

I bought the stick up camera and mounted it under the eave on the house. It views the patio between the house and the garage, also the back door. Very easy to install and set up. The video recording is great. It alerts you as soon as it sees motion. The only drawback I have is the battery life. It lasts about 3 weeks. I contribute it to the temps. It has been cold, sometimes below zero for a few days at a time. I will be buying the solar panel in the near future.

I love my ring pro video doorbell and decided to buy the stick up cam for my backyard. I was underwhelmed. The quality of night vision was terrible to the point of useless. I decided to return because I wanted to be able to have see live views of both cameras simultaneously on the app. For the price (with solar charger), I would rather by a true HD camera with better night vision.
