Ring - Stick Up Indoor/Outdoor Wired Security Camera - White 2nd Gen

The stick up cam has excellent viewing properties automatic night vision it's backed up by the cloud it was super simple to install super simple to link to the service the only thing that's the issue is they tell you that it has a backup when the power goes out will that's half true because when the power goes out your router goes out when your router goes out no service now with the alarm it keeps over to a cellular service so it's still backed up the keypad whatever sensors you have and all that but the stick up cam it doesn't work until your internet is back on.

Lost first night WiFi connection and couldn’t get it back. After calling Ring I am getting it replaced through warranty. Great service for their product. The other camera is working good. Just wish they weren’t fisheye cameras and get better pictures from further away. Basically they are for up close monitoring.

So far so good...have two outdoor ones plus this one, and all of them work flawlessly...Ring has definitely gotten one of the best systems out there. And it is cheaper than all the other ones.

We just wanted simple cameras to use for monitoring our place with basic internet when we’re not home. Working well. We saw a black bear walk through our driveway yesterday and were alerted quickly after motion sensed.

I was looking for a ring camera option to monitor my front lawn and driveway. I already have 2 wired spotlights and the doorbell 2. Another spotlight may have been a bit difficult to mount high up enough but then I saw the new stick up elite cameras. It seemed to be a perfect option. I am running it as a Poe camera with the signal and power coming from a powerline adapter with Poe. It works like a charm. The ambient light from the nearby streetlight give the camera a great view of my driveway and front lawn. Even at night.

Finally, a Ring camera that does exactly what I want. I’ve installed multiple Ring Spotlight Wired Cameras and they are fantastic – except they have spot lights. This Ring Stick Up Camera can be discretely mounted and will not flash on a light if someone walks by or some bug flies by or some rain drop floats down or the wind blows in the wrong direction or whatever else is causing my Ring Spotlight Wired cameras to kick on the light for no reason at all. This Ring Stick Up Camera simply does what a Ring camera should do – be a camera. Why wasn’t this made sooner? I bought it days after Best Buy started carrying it and can’t wait to buy another one as soon as it’s available in Black.

After several scary incidents at my mother’s house, we installed these cameras inside her home to monitor what is going on, who is coming and going, whether she is okay. She insists on living alone, cannot hear well, is elderly and has diminishing capacity, fading memory and occasionally poor judgment. With this camera installed, we are able to remotely monitor and assure her safety. It gives peace of mind, as well as insight into what her day-to-day life is really like. She feels safer knowing that the cameras are there.

I own 4 ring products and have been using them for several years now. Overall, I would have to say that Ring does a very good job for the price you pay and their commitment to product improvement is outstanding. They are always tweaking their apps and services, adding features and improving others. This review is specifically for the Ring Stick Up Cam (wired) version. I am very pleased with the quality of the video these devices deliver, although a fast upload speed from your ISP makes operating these units much more reliable. I presently have 23Mbps upload using Spectrum Broadband and the performance is acceptable. It can be frustrating when an event has occurred and you are sent a notification and are prevented from taking control of the device in (or a long delay) due to streaming the event to the Ring cloud. This isn't a huge issue however and rarely causes a problem for me. The features in the Ring app are pretty awesome, but sometimes confusing, especially with notifications. For example, there is a difference between getting a notification on the Ring Chime, versus the Ring App, you can enable one or the other or both, each having their own volume control. I would like to also see time-based recording options as opposed to having to manually turn off recording. Time based notifications can be configured, but this doesn't prevent the device from uploading motion-based video events. It would be good to be able to exclude uploading video based on whether I'm home or not, or time-of-day exclusions. I have mixed feelings about cloud-storage for my videos, and there are always trade offs vs a local DVR, but in terms of ease-of-install and use.. it's pretty hard to beat the Ring products. For very large installs I'd probably recommend a dedicated mutli-camera system if you go over 4 cameras, not for any real reason other than upload bandwidth is going to catch up to you in high-traffic environments where you have indoor and outdoor Ring cameras almost always sending event-driven video to the Ring cloud. Aside from all that, the quality of the Ring products is fantastic. The included installation hardware is second to none, you're getting everything, including drill bits in some cases. I have no reservations about purchasing any products from Ring.
