WOW! Highly impressed. We purchased these cameras to install outside our house for that added protection of audio and video surveillance.

The video/picture/audio quality are great! I haven't experienced any issues at all with quality! The night vision is by far the greatest I have seen in wireless cameras. The night vision has perfect clarity and no distortion at all! It works just as good at night as it does in day light.

The motion detection works really well for us. We went through the initial setup and chose the preferences that worked best for what we were wanting. You can even set zones so you don't have any unnecessary recordings or alerts!

The battery life is also really good, like crazy good, at least for us anyway. They last about 3 to 4 months. What we have done is kept a backup battery that is fully charged for each device, that way when we charge the batteries, we don't have to worry about any of our Ring Devices not working.

The Cams integrate flawlessly with Alexa as do all Ring Products. I have seen the quality of other Ring competitors and they don't stand up even close to the quality that the Ring Cameras or other Ring Products produce.

If you are looking for great quality, and a product to perform as it is intended to do, then look no further than Ring. Ring truly does live up to it's expectations!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Nest!

2 years ago my wife came home from work and I told her to come look. I was on our Nest Camera dashboard. As we watched, a car turned into our driveway. She asked,"Who is that?" I told her, "Its you, 1 minute and 23 seconds ago." Due to the delay of the Nest server and since we had a new Ring Doorbell I went Ring Solar for outdoors.
BEST CHOICE EVER!! We live in the High Desert where there is PLENTY OF SUN and I have 3 Ring Solar Outdoor cameras and and a Ring doorbell.
Love them so much,I just ordered 3 more and a lighted Ring sign directly from RING because of the 1 camera limit here on Amazon plus they were cheaper directly from RING which BTW is owned by Amazon.

I set all my cameras to detect "persons only" around my yard and set the range to the edged of my driveway because I don't need passing car motion alerts or alerts when our dogs are out to potty.

With solar lights on every fence panel from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XJHND3T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and solar lights on the front entry, driveway and gate entries from here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XNS4SV1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

5.0 out of 5 stars Way cheaper then a security system alarm and in some ways better.
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021

For the price you can’t beat what you are getting. Wide angle shot, motion sensor activation, and the battery life is unreal.

Bought two of these and a wired doorbell camera during Amazon Prime Day sale and we are beyond impressed. We have an alarm system and the install fee alone to hook into the system was more than 10 times the cost of the two pack of cameras.

Pros:
Battery life in unreal. We can hook up a solar charger but why? The one gets a lot of motion and we charged it for the first time after 4 months at 18% battery life. The other gets motion but not really that much and we charged for the first time after 7 months at 6%.

Notifications in your phone. Could be better. Almost instant, but you aren’t going to be able to catch the delivery man and the video takes 30-60 second to load. But it is on a continuous loop so it shows about 4-5 seconds before the motion sets it off.

Live view is great. Awesome picture day and night. Easy to watch the kids playing outside or keep an eye out for the delivery man. Can’t keep it on all the time but for a few seconds it’s good. You don’t need to be on your network to watch who’s there.

Support (we bought ring protect) chat and call options we had a connection problem and they were amazing on the phone and fixed it within 4 mins of making the call. Best part is if someone steals the camera they will replace it under the ring protect.

Cons

Unless someone rings the doorbell you aren’t going to catch the delivery man. It’s just a hair too slow.

Wireless signal has to be decent for it to work. You may need a repeater or extender. And by decent I don’t mean awesome but if you can get on the internet on your phone in that spot the camera will work.

Pro and con - Zeroing in the motion sensor takes a little time. Everything can set this off till you get it zeroed in, but once you do it will pick up only what you want to see. It can tell humans from animals so it doesn't kill the battery. For instance out doorbell is wired so we have a liberal motion setting. Instead of the cat that runs past the door at 4:30 am it was two cat sized raccoons!!!!

Overall 8 months in we are impressed and are going to add two more of these bad boys. The ring protect insurance will cover all of them for one price so I am not worried about longevity but think that it shouldn’t be an issue.

I rated motion detection at 4 but it’s more like 4.5 only because it really is annoying until you get it dialed in...

These Ring cameras were perfect for our shops security system. I was able to easily download the app on my i phone and get notifications when motion is detected-I can also snooze the alarm if I know someone will be walking around the area for a while so my phone isn't constantly going off. I charged them the first day about a month ago and have not had to charge the battery yet which I was worried about originally. Great picture and recording quality. I am able to talk to my dad through the speaker when he's at work later than he should be and tell him to go home hehe. I like being able to watch and make sure my father who is getting older is okay when he gets to work before we open and stays well past when we close. It also helps me to know when a customer comes in the front door if I am in the back helping the technicians. It also connected to my apple watch so I am able to get notifications that way as well. I am considering buying them for my house because I love them so much. I have also checked the photo quality at night time and it's pretty darn clear-I'd definitely recommend this camera.

I got these to replace some cheapo $40 cameras I had bought from Amazon. They were ok and did the job but I just wasn't that happy with them. I was looking at going with Nest but they are just crazy expensive, $200 or more per camera?!?! I had four cameras total and that was still $40 cheaper than just one Nest cam. But, you do get what you pay for. Those took forever to connect on the app, their desktop app didn't even work at all and were powered by USB ( at least the ones inside) which made me have to use an extension cable and have ugly cables going everywhere. I thought I'd give these cameras a try since they were battery powered. I was a little concerned since they weren't recording 24/7 but after actually using them, it's not that big of a deal. The motion detection works pretty good and the fact that you can view live video almost instantly is great (the cheapo cameras took FOREVER to connect). Plus, the video quality and field of view is fantastic. I'm sure the more expensive cameras probably have a better field of view but honestly, these are great for the money. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend this camera if you're looking for the middle ground camera (better than the cheap Chinese cameras but not as expensive as those $250+ cameras), also has the benefit of being wireless. Oh and on that, I've had them installed with some pretty heaving motion detection and have gone down only 6% for the cameras outside over two weeks and the inside cameras 10% (a lot more activity).

Amazed at the quality of the image and sound feedback on this. I bought 2 of them. Definitely purchase the wifi extender though. One of the cameras has a struggle with wifi range sometimes but it's having to go through brick. That cam is actually the closest in range to our wifi. There's no way to remove blockages or move it closer either but I haven't had many signal drops on it. The one feature I wish it did have is fish eye view or more of a wider view to cover a bigger area. The sirens on these are not very loud, so don't expect that to really alert the neighborhood or draw attention to suspected creepers on your property. These cams link to a ring doorbell, which is pretty cool. So when someone drives up in the driveway, the ring door bell starts recording before they walk up. You can unlink the devices though. The battery life is what I expect them to be. I recharge these batteries once every 2 weeks probably can go 3 weeks. And that's with the dogs playing outside setting them off every 30 seconds sometimes. lol. You just have to work with the motion detection to custom it to your household activity level. The motion detection is not a far distance, about 30 feet. No big storms lately, so no idea how well it hold up. But they have experienced a few downpours. I was surprised at the viewing of night vision. Maybe it's because our outdoor light stays on in the driveway, but it's brighter than the Ring 2 doorbell.

I had previously wrote a negative review regarding these cameras because they were not picking up motion well at all and they were not loading live view on my app. I found the issue was they were located too far from my WiFi network. I had them outside my house but the distance was too far for a good connection. I had to move them around and was finally able to get them positioned properly to work! Now they work great and I wouldn’t go back to any other camera. Ring is soooo easy to use and setup.

We have always loved out RING doorbell, but wanted a cheaper route for security cameras so we started with the BLINK system and was excited until we viewed them. The daytime on the blink wasn't terrible but was pretty grainy and then at night time, FORGET IT! Also it never picked up on motion.

I was a little hesitant after reading reviews about the battery life, but pulled the trigger to experience the product for myself. After doing my research, it all comes down to making adjustments to your camera settings to conserve the battery life - so battery life wasn't an issue. Overall, the setup to installation process was extremely easy and love the fact that you can set "home" or "away" mode to help conserve your battery life even longer. The picture quality is excellent and love the fact that it's a wide-frame view. I personally like the product, but to each their own. I would definitely repurchase this product again.

The ring camera's come with lots of options for their settings. At first I was frustrated because they kept alerting me of cars and similar passing by, but after playing with the settings (and a couple of updates to the app added by Ring) they work perfectly.

The batteries are easy to pull out to recharge, and last for longer than I expected them to between charges. The video quality is great, and if you have a fast phone/tablet and connection it will show you live video at a fair speed.

Though I am not worried about intruders, we will surely see them coming with these clear cut cams. If you order the mounts, that will help a lot by way of positioning. We love it and just as we added these two to our original pair, we may just pick up one more pair. The signal is strong, the speaker is clear and the siren feature, though a little low, let anyone know these trouble afoot.

But the views on can have along with natures sounds right at your fingertips it you just cant get out side is impressive. I don't have much to spend, but the cost for what you get is such a bargain.

They're easy to set up. They have good picture quality. Motion detection could be modified to notify only when people are detected, as well as the sensitivity of the motion detection, and so much more. The night vision is good as well. I bought the solar panels for my outside cameras and they work great! I only have 1 camera indoors in my living room and it is battery operated. The battery lasts a couple of weeks (the sensitivity to motion detection can affect battery life) and since I downloaded the Ring app, I get notified when the battery is getting low and needs to be recharged. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone who would like an added sense of security while away from home. Oh, I love that I can talk through them as well. I often tell my kids to do their chores and tell my dogs to go to the backyard. I also say hi to my UPS delivery driver through the cameras. These cameras serve many purposes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Average Motion Detection but Outstanding Customer Support

This is a modal window.
No compatible source was found for this media.
Update 30OCT (original review and first update follow this): I changed my recommendation opinion and recommend the camera now. It doesn’t have the best FOV so the motion detection isn’t the best, but if you utilize the camera to the best of it’s abilities (i.e. don’t try to use the camera mounted high to cover large swaths or property but rather keep it at ~7ft to cover your back porch or something) it does a decent job. It’s a cheaper camera compared to Arlo or some of the other Ring models so you should manage your expectations of it’s performance.

The WiFi signal strength has been sufficient. I initially thought I may have a problem but they seem to be working fine. That’s not to say that a Chime Pro wouldn’t help since I’m on the lower end for signal strength.

What I absolutely love about this camera is the customer support that comes with it. After my initial poor review, Ring customer support reached out to me in an effort to help and to pass feedback on to the design team. The representative that called me was professional, competent, and effective. My specific camera may have an issue, but they are ready to swap it out if none of the solutions work. Components can fail at any point, but as long as the customer support still backs it up, I still consider it a good product.

The solution the tech representative suggested was to perform a factory reset by holding down the setup button for 30 seconds with the battery in. Then, set up the camera as you did before. There's no need to remove the old camera from the app since it will get over-written after the factory reset. He mentioned that he's observed the freezing problem with this model, but so far the factory reset has solved it. It's a simple process that takes a few minutes so if you are having similar problems, I suggest you do this.

The tech rep even followed up to see how the cameras were doing after the factory reset, so like I already stated, the customer support is top notch.

Bottom line is that it’s a cheaper camera so don’t expect it to perform like the spot or floodlight models. However, it still performs sufficiently in proper use cases and has good video quality. The customer support is top notch and is what ultimately made me change my mind to recommend this camera.

Update 28OCT: I’ve upgraded the review to three since the motion detection has improved from the first few days and the fogginess was from an especially wet day. However, one of the cameras stopped working and now fails to detect anything, turn on with linked devices, or give any notifications. I’ve removed the camera and tried to reinstall it several times but it ends up in an endless “updating its software” loop. I’ve waited about 20-30 minutes for it to finish but it doesn’t. I can’t access the camera or any of its features until this “update” process finishes, which it won’t, unfortunately. It seems like I have a bad camera. Their support has reached out to me, which I appreciate, and I’m curious to what they are going to say.

I initially thought the motion detection was horrible but I consider it average now. It has a much narrower FOV than a lot of the other Ring or Arlo cameras. However, it’s a much cheaper camera than these alternatives but you get what you pay for. I’m not sure if it’s worth the money, though. I have a pair of other cameras I just purchased that I’m going to try out and return these if they perform well.

——————————-

Original Review:
I can not recommend this product, primarily because the motion sensing is bad. I’ve been testing two of these cameras the past 2 days in both day and night conditions and they work maybe 10% of the time. If you watch the video I’m including, I walk directly up to the camera, wave my hands, and absolutely nothing happens. I have daylight videos showing the same thing but I can only post one video per review.

Another problem I noticed is that the cameras have bad WiFi antennas. I placed the cameras in the same location of the Arlo cameras I’m trying to replace and the Ring cameras are having a connection problems where the Arlo ones were perfectly fine. Yes, I could add a Chime Pro, but that’s another $50 expense that could be better spent on a more expensive Arlo camera.

The cameras fogged over completely in the morning, but I live in Washington, which is incredibly wet. The Arlo cameras fared much better but they still had some fog issues.

I did like the integration it has with my other Ring products such as the doorbell and alarm system. The video was good as well. However, with the severe motion detection and WiFi problems, I can not recommend this product. I’m going to give it another few days and probably switch back to Arlo.

Great cameras.
PROS- The line of site is great. The quality of the picture/video is very good. You have to play around with the settings to get the correct angle, motion detection and proper notification as with any camera. Overall the function of a security camera is perfect. I also like that you can link your cameras to eachother that if one detects motion the rest will begin recording before motion is sensed to get a full range video of the perimeter of your home.

CONS- My major problem is the battery life. When I installed I purposely used one with a solar panel and one without to see the battery life and there is a major battery issue.. The one with a solar panel looses 2-5% of life throughout the evening and is recharged during the day with the solar panel. Which depending on the sun I usually have 100% full battery until sundown.
The one without the solar panel connected looses approximately 5-10% of battery life a day on a standard motion detection which is the medium battery usage selection. With that much energy used means the battery, clearly will not last more than a month before it will need to be recharged, which is an inconvenience to have to bring the ladder out every month to change the battery. Diffenantly would recommend getting the solar panels for continuous battery life.

Overall these camera are perfect for home security. I would recommend

Updated review:
Jason from Ring reached out to me and told me about the new Mode feature that will include cameras coming out soon and he was able to get me access to beta test this feature and so far it's looking great!

Now when I go into Modes you will see a cameras section where you can enable or disable both motion detection and live view separately.

I just started playing with it but so far I have it set up so that everything for the cameras are enabled when my mode is set to Away or Home (home is sleeping for us and the cameras are downstairs while we sleep upstairs so we want them on).
When the mode is Disarmed (we're at home and active) I have Motion Detection off, which I assume means I won't be getting notifications, but I left Live View (spying) on for my wife...

As mentioned I am testing a beta version of this so it may not work exactly as I described once it's released but even as it is now it's looking great and I'm really happy Rings has been working on this. I know they want to get it out this year but I don't know any more than that.

Original review:
I couldn't agree more with the review(s) that point this out. Why am I receiving 100 notification a minute from my living room camera when I just told the Ring app we're home? It would be pretty bad if you had to go in and configure that instead of it being the default but you can't even do that because it's not there. The alarm and cameras don't seem to even know each other exist.

As far as the cameras themselves go, they're fine. I do really like the battery packs and how easy it is to swap them out but expect to pay another $30 for each camera for a spare battery unless you want them offline for a few hours every so often.

If you just have the doorbell and want to add some more cameras these are probably great. On the other hand if you're looking for a complete subscription security solution, Ring is almost useless and I would avoid it until they add some basic integration between their devices.

I am having nothing but issues with theses unfortunately. I followed every step by step procedure setting them up, and initially only 1 worked. After playing with the other 3 that I also purchased and getting frustrated and walking away they 1 by 1 started working without me even touching them. Once I had them all working installing them was easy. I then switched to using the solar panels and all 4 cameras died over night. I’ll try moving the panels into more direct sunlight and hope that helps. In the mean time I’m trying to switch the power mode back to battery and again running into so many complications. Why wouldn’t these switch to battery mode on their own? Even though I charged the battery over night, ran the cameras on solar panels until they died in one night, I still need to charge the battery before I can switch to battery mode. I thought the batteries were supposed to last 3 months. What a pain these have become. I will say for the (very few) short hours these worked they were wonderful.

*UPDATE* An associate from Ring saw this review and set up an appointment to help figure out the issues. From the phone call I learned my battery died quickly because I had it set to WIRE mode while plugged into the solar panel which is the incorrect setting, it should still be on battery mode. As for the camera I couldn't set up, they were able to tell there was something wrong with it and are sending me a replacement.

So, I don't regret this but there are things to be aware of. First, it has decent picture quality, battery life and motion detection but doesn't really excel at any of these. Sometimes there's a 20 second delay before the motion alert detects on my phone or watch. The "people only" mode doesn't work, a cat or squirrel will still trigger it. I had planned to put this inside on the window ledge looking out at the doors. But, the night vision or motion detection don't work through the window. The swivel mount has a very limited range of motion so it took some creativity to get it pointed right. But, all in all I like having the cameras and these are a good value for the money.

I really like this camera & app. They're expensive, but seem to be worth it. Super easy to install! I even got siding clips to hold mine so I didn't need to drill into the siding of my house. Will buy again. Batteries seem to last a while for me, but keep in mind, the more sensitive and more settings you have setup, does drain it faster. I bought mine approx 1 month ago and it's about ready to be changed soon. I also have it setup for very sensitive, and other settings that drain power, so I'm OK with that.

We used the (already installed) "security system" APP to "hook-up". The QR code is INSIDE the battery cover! We didn't want any wires so we are using the batteries. The life of these will vary depending on how sensitive you adjust the motion detector to. And since these batteries take a long time to charge, we also got a spare battery to remove any "down time" (P# 8AB1S7-0EU0).
The Ring devices are pricey, but I did not want to get phone calls from my GF (because she cannot even master the cruise control in her car), so I got Ring because once you get it working YOU'RE ALL DONE..

I like these cams. They are a little picky with the motion sensitivity. There's times I have leaves on trees trigger them.
My main complaint is if your internet drops from them they won't connect back without having to go-to them and put them in setup mode. Then it has to update for 15 minutes every time. So you waste 20 minutes every time that happens.
I be had to get a range extender to get my garage since that kept being the issues every day or 2.

Right out of the box, sitting about 15’ from WiFi router, these cameras won’t connect to live view. Still super spotty on if the live view will work or not. Really not even sure if they’re working.

I’m in disbelief how poorly these things work. I understand I got the battery powered one which is less capable of detecting motion. The reality is it doesn’t detect motion at all. Unless I physically move the camera I get no notifications of motion whatsoever.

Edit

After some assistance from a ring representative, I learned that I purchased the wrong camera. The wireless stick up cams I bought activate and send notifications when they sense heat. I had mine pointed out a window which would not allow for the cameras to sense heat. The Ring representative was a great help and I will use the cameras for a different application.

I think there should be a clear notification where these cameras are advertised explaining this. But I was grateful for the prompt response to my issue and the offer to return/exchange the cams.

These are super easy to use and to mount. We bought the mounting kit and hung two of these from under the soffits by the garage. Since they are angled down toward the driveway and front yard the motion zone don’t extend out very far.

I imagine if these were on a wall or table and the angle was not so great they would capture motion much further out.

We miss a lot of motion activations since the zone only reaches about half way down the driveway. This isn’t something I anticipated. But they still work nicely.

Took support 20 mins to figure it out. Its a slider in an app, not sure why its not available on this model (but it is on all the cheaper models support pointed out to me!). Its 2020, why the hell can't you add a slider instead of trying to get us to buy a $20 mount...

edit: updated from a pissed off 1 star to 4 stars. I got a call from a great service rep at ring who explained from the way the IR sensors are angled, upside down would not work for the motion sensing. Also it will pop up and recommend the mount if you add to cart, but not if you click buy it now. So not as stupid as I first thought, but still a bad design - they should still include a mount for a camera, cameras are normally mounted...on the ceiling.
They did not bribe me in any way to update this, I did get a few extra weeks of the subscription trial though

3.0 out of 5 stars Recording Time Way Too Short
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020

UPDATE: After posting this review with 2 stars I received an email and a phone call from a Ring rep who wanted to help me with my issues. I am techno ignorant and he walked me through increasing the frequency of the recording so it will record more of the motion. With all the "social distancing" and "self isolation" we have at the moment nothing has crossed the path of our cameras except a deer and a squirrel so I can't say yet how the adjustment has worked out, but I am increasing my stars to 3 based on the responsiveness of Customer Service. I'll update again later when we all come out of our caves.
We purchased 7 of these cameras at $100/each giving us coverage all around the outside of the house. They were easy to set up etc, the picture/video quality is good BUT once each camera detects motion it records for 30 seconds only. It certainly doesn't show the beginning to end motion activity. So, when our local burglar approaches our house we only see 30 seconds of his treachery, instead of it recording until the motion stops. When I posted this issue on line I found people who said to change the motion frequency to "frequent"and then the time would increase somewhat (another 30 seconds?) but I can't find any such setting. That is insufficient anyway. It needs to record until the motion stops. We were going to buy a couple more and perhaps later an alarm system, but won't throw good money after bad and will find another product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but system overpriced

So I finally broke down and bought two Stickup cams after years of using various cheaper Wifi and battery based outdoor cameras.
Easy to setup, good battery life (had both mine running for 30+ days on a single charge so far in early spring Texas weather).
-So these DO NOT have any micro SD card capability and only send recorded video to the Ring Cloud for which after your first 30 days of free trial you pay $3 per camera or $10 for a location per month.
-Video quality, motion detection and cloud video service seem quite reliable. Ring has an App for Widows 10 and mobile devices that is very straight forward and easy to use/configure unlike most cheaper cameras whose apps are all coded from China or don't offer PC based apps.
**Here is the main kicker/drawback to these camera. There is a Live View function and the ability to review the Cloud based recordings.
Everyday (and I mean EVERY DAY) the Cameras lose the ability to use Live View as all the software (both PC and mobile) claim the devices are offline. However live motion detection/alerts and Cloud uploads work still, meaning the Cameras are online to your LAN and Internet to do so.
1000's of users have reported this problem with EVERY single Ring Camera model over the past few years in the Ring Support Forums and Ring still won't acknowledge or fix the problem. Support will claim you home Network is the problem 99% of the time (even though all you other wifi devices in the house are online) and so far the only way to fix the daily issue is to reboot your wireless network to refresh whatever the Live View connection/ports use.

I use Ring, I’m also a subscriber to their monthly $10 plan. I’m somewhat satisfied with the cameras, the issues here are the features that these particular Stickup cams have.

The motion zones aren’t the same as other Ring cameras such as the Floodlight Cam, Spotlight Mount and Indoor Cam. Instead of editable zones, you have these triangular areas that you can turn on and off. The problem is that it doesn’t cover a wide range and you’d have to position the camera in order to get the most coverage. Disappointing.

Another issue is that these bundled cameras don’t have the latest software. They don’t have the snapshot feature that individually sold Stickup Cams do. Get those instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ring app goes bonkers every morning
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020

This product worked well for 2 months, but then suddenly it went haywire. I have two cameras, each with a different alert sound. Almost every morning at precisely 8:05 a.m. the Ring app on my cell phone blurts out a cacophony of alert sounds in rapid succession. Between 15 and 50 alerts from both cameras sound off over the span of 20-60 seconds. All without any motion. At first I thought it had to do with my phone's Do Not Disturb featured, which silences notifications overnight. But if that was the case, my app would have a corresponding video for every chime occurrence, but there are no videos. I made Ring an exception to my Do Not Disturb list so that notifications would come in while I slept, but that did not solve the problem. I get zero notifications overnight, but a concert every morning still.

I contacted Support and they had no answers. They recommended snoozing Ring overnight. Well, that kinda defeats the purpose. If someone's at my door at 2 a.m. I kinda want a video recording.

I've spent $250 on this product and am ready to scrap it for another brand.

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
The product itself is very cool - pretty easy to install and has cool features and picture quality.

Unfortunately, in my home which is brick, the cams fall off the WiFi network (which uses a high-end mesh router), and when that happens the purpose of the product is defeated. When the network is not connected, you cannot access the live camera view and the motion detection is not reporting back to my phone. Even though the cams are fully powered and will sometimes later get re-connected, any events that took place during the network disconnect will not get reported later when the device is back online... I've tested by walking through the middle of the view.

I have reset my own WiFi connection several times (before and after install) and tested WiFi connection speed, using other devices from the same location the cams are mounted.

Without consistent connectivity, the only security that's being provided by the cams is the deterrence factor for potential thieves seeing the cameras... which is about the same as what the Ring sign (sold separately) does.

Also of note, it's annoying that you have to buy a wired connection separately.

Stick up cans constantly have to be reset, capture video for the set time, but miss anything completely after that. If someone walks up, hope they do it fast. Ive read to change this, move that. I've tried everything and my signal is good to their standards as well as my wifi. Seriously disappointed spending this much for hit or miss security. If you want security and safety, look elsewhere.

The app is very laggy and the picture gets distorted often. The only reason we got these was because simply safe did not have outdoor cameras. This has been a waste of money because by the time I can view live, someone could already be inside the house. Also, if you go straight to the app from a push notification, you cannot view the event that set it off right away. I do not recommend this product at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ring used to be my favorite. Not anymore
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

To start,

I’ve been a huge Ring fan for years and decided to switch my entire system from Nest to Ring. BIG MISTAKE! Let me tell you why.

First, the battery cameras are a great idea and I didn’t want to be putting wires outside of my new house and extension cords. Unbeknownst to me the battery life on this thing SUCKS. So, I ended up buying the solar panel which greatly increased the battery life. if you go on a long vacation you might not be safe with this security system

Wait, there’s more!

Last weekend I get a ring notification someone was in front of my door and one of my cameras picked up. Turns out someone was lingering around for a few minutes and messed with my car. I was so happy to know Ring did me right. I looked in the footage and WHAT???? it didn’t record the whole action. Ring DOES NOT have continuous recording and because of that the camera could not record long and the police couldn’t see the culprit trying to break in.

Ring records in small segments after detects motion but do not think this would be useful all the time. For me it wasn’t and I regret switching to Ring.

This is my honest review from someone who used to be a huge fan to soon rip this garbage out of my house.

This is a modal window.
No compatible source was found for this media.
I did four times of entry/exit front door testing. It ONLY worked once (video + notification). There were no people captured in two other videos, like I attached. And it missed both video and notification on one testing.

The video sync up was also slow. It took about 6 mins to show up the clip in the ring app.

I really like the design and easy-installation. But the motion detection is the deal breaker. I have no choice but return it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont buy RING - NOT worth the ongoing costs
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
I think people are suckered into buying the name, which used to be branded as quality....NOT ANYMORE.
Doesn't always connect, I Have to hit the connect button over and over and over again. Then I just give up.
If it does connect, it's too late to see whatever the motion Detector picked up.
It will detect that FedEx or UPS has pulled up in front of the house, but then you don't see anything else. You don't see the driver or them pulling away. Because it stopped recording.
After 30 days you have to pay. For the cameras to record you can only live view well as mentioned above the motion detector will alert you there's motion. But by the time it connects you can't see anything. It's already over. Or gone.
So for $10 a month, you can get recording for 1 camera $120 a year. I bought three cameras. So this is just an ongoing expense.
The cameras I had before these were REOLINK. They had micro SD cards that could be viewed. Either live or take them out and look at them on your laptop. They were stored on an SD card.
RING cameras SUCK
This is a waste of time and money. And because it's been more than 30 days. I can't return them. So I'm going to do my best to sell them on Craigslist to some other fool.

I purchased three of these to use in our children’s nursery and living room. The battery life is advertised to last 6 months, however we have to charge our batteries WEEKLY. Of course ring says high traffic areas where the camera is used often can drain the battery life quicker. But 6 months vs 5-7 day battery life is a HUGE difference. My son is in daycare so his camera is only used when he’s sleeping, maybe records 3-4 movements a day max and it still dies every week. Wish I never purchased these.

I purchased these cameras before their release and was very excited to receive them. After my initial installation that went very well I began to become less and less pleased. My first and most frustrating issue is the motion detection zones. I completely understand how they work and how to adjust the parameters but their function does not match the settings. My street side camera which is pointed below the street with the motion zone 6'+ away from the street still picks up every car that drives by. My front door camera that has the motion controls maxed out will not pick up me walking down the sidewalk directly in front of it until I'm within 5' of the camera. Both cameras have proven to be frustrating at best and mostly useless for their intended purpose. But they look nice...

1.0 out of 5 stars Unable to connect to Wifi during setup and Ring technical support incapable of resolving
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have a Netgear Nighthawk router and Netgear modem (100mbps download, 13 mbps upload, strong signal across my home and property) with a Ring security system and video doorbell and no previous connection issues with any other devices. I purchased two Ring stick up cameras, both of which failed to connect to my wifi network during set-up; at the point during setup where it attempts to connect to the wifi network it would fail with the message "unable to connect due to a problem with your internet" and flash a red-blue light. I methodically followed all the troubleshooting guidance on the Ring help page but this did not resolve the connection problem so I contacted Ring support, who simply followed the same troubleshooting process. After two separate calls with Ring support I was advised that there must be something wrong with the camera units and to exchange them. After exchanging for two new cameras I encountered the exact same connection failure and had no choice but to give up and return the cameras as both the troubleshooting guidance on Ring's website and technical support were not able to provide an explanation for the failure.

There is clearly some compatibility issue with my system/system components and the Ring stickup cameras that Ring's troubleshooting page and technical support is incapable of addressing. Given that other Ring components and every other device I use connects well, I have good network connectivity with settings in-line with Ring's setup instructions, and new modem and router, I have to assume that the problem lies with the camera design or software. After reviewing several online forums it seems that others are experiencing similar connection problems, so once again suggests poor design on Ring's part with this camera. It also seems that Ring technical support is essentially incapable of providing any help beyond what is already listed on the troubleshooting website, so if you've gone through the troubleshooting webpage I would suggest not wasting time calling the support line. In the end I wasted several hours troubleshooting this connection issue and would suggest to others that they simply cut to the chase and return the camera if they run into similar connection issues during setup.

The first day everything seem fine. Cameras were recording all the features on the app working as they should. Live view capability working fine. Next morning, 12-7-21. I wake up to cameras not recording, the app not working, live view feature not functional. Overall the entire system crashed. I try to contact Ring. That led me no where. Was not able to reach anyone from Ring. Not via chat or via their contact phone number. I check Ring status website. I come to find out the entire Ring system was experiencing technical difficulties. Not a great beginning of service with Ring. It is 2pm on 12-7-21 & my cameras are still not working. I’m extremely disappointed & angry with these cameras & it’s service. I’m definitely returning the cameras. I bought them because I thought they were going to be a dependable security system. I’m glad I found out on day 1 that they are not. Well, my search continues for a dependable security system. I can not recommend nor will I recommend them to anyone.

These cameras were recommended to me by a friend. I had a conversation with a Ring rep before ordering. I was assured that, when set appropriately, the cameras would capture motion 24/7. However, if the cameras were indoors looking outside night motion was almost certainly not going to be captured. I was/am fine with that. The problem is that they don’t seem to have a frequency that allows them to monitor 24/7, or even just the daylight hours. The cameras seem to monitor on some timing frequency that even customer service reps can’t define. They aren’t always monitoring. The monitor on a high or low frequency but not all the time. And thanks to inefficient customer support via Sasha this evening, who couldn’t pass me along to someone more experienced due to customer service protocols, I am returning over 1k of equipment to Ring. Thanks for the stellar experience Sasha, and Ring.

I have had these for about 1.5 years. I assumed they were always doing a good job but recently I noticed it missed a few things. I started monitoring it very close and discovered that it catches only about 50% of motion. I'm not sure if it has always been this bad or something changed recently.
It has a clear view down my driveway. It may pick up my car leaving but it may not pick it up coming back 15 minutes later. For some reason it hardly every picks up my wife's car. It is hit or miss on deliveries from FedEx, UPS and Amazon.
I called support and all they could do was tell me to reset the camera which I did but that did not help.
I posted this issue on Ring's community site but can't get a solution.
I'm going to research other cameras and replace these.

Started off great for about 6 weeks then at some point the recorded video would be blank occasionally. As of recent, the issue is virtually all the time now. Seems to be the last update. Also, can take forever to activate live-viewing. Circle just spins in the app. Sometime a factory or power reset cures the issue temporarily. Or force-closing the app.

I have six other ring hardwired (POE) and doorbell in service with zero such issues. All are connected to the same access point or data switch. Internet/network bandwidth/throughput is excellent. I suspect the issue is battery operation mode or specifically the Battery cam. Unfortunately, I have to lowest rate this cam since it can't be used reliably for the purpose of security. The app leaves allot to be desired in terms of performance and excess bloat. Android app is quite heavy at over 100mb in size, is slow and crashes often. Ring attempts to squeeze everything into one package, with tutorials, shopping and frivolous useless stuff.

I have been complaining for a long time due to the constant disconnection of the equipment and that the cameras freeze and you can never see what is happening at that moment, hopefully after what happens is that you see if there was someone outside, but generally not even record what it was happening at that time.

Yet, the whole time I never was able to capture even a glimpse of anyone else in my house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ring Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd Gen) - Not Worth It
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have a few Ring products (Video Doorbell Pro - Excellent and Stick Up Cam Battery 2nd Gen - Very Good) but this 3rd Generation product is bad, really bad.

When it came out and announced, I was ready for another Ring Cam for outdoor use and wanted the newer product. Bad decision in my part and should have paid more attention to the hardware reviews.

First, this product has reduced specifications versus the 2nd Generation. I get it, Ring wanted a product with a lower price point to obtain more market adoption. You just are not getting a good return for your purchase. The video quality is terrible versus the second generation product.

Second, “Live View” is horrible. If you go into the Ring App and hit “Live View”, most often, the App just spins and spins saying "Activating Device". Yet, most of the time, it never connects and the visitor or thief is long gone. This is not a WiFi network issue. The RSSI signal strength is good. Very good. This frustrating behavior is even exhibited when putting the Ring Cam right next To the WiFi access point.

Third, this product sounds good as the price point is lower than the 2nd generation. Great, but not so great. Today I went to mount on the ceiling only to find out the video is inverted and cannot be flipped on this camera in the software. You have got to be kidding me. What a joke. A call into Ring Tech Support I find our that you have to purchase an additional ceiling mount kit for $19 dollars. Well, there goes your savings. The 2nd generation had all this hardware right inside the box with the camera. This is a cheesy shake down by Ring.

Needless to say, I am disappointed and this will be my last Ring purchase. Move on people. Nothing worth purchasing here.

The only way I get any notification is to physically move the camera or set it to live view. I'm not interested in watching live streaming alli day. The job of the camera is to be an extra set of eyes. They don't do the job correctly. They're going back. I'm not going to fight with this technology, it's not worth the headache.

The router and modem are literally less than a foot away from the driveway cam while the backyard cam is on the complete opposite side of our house. I try to go live and it keeps saying streaming error after watching for just a minute. I even tried switching the cameras and it’s still doing the same thing with only the driveway cam.

I purchased around 375$ worth of ring products (3 cameras) and all the reviews look nice but whenever I fully charged the batteries (for both outdoor cams battery powered) the 3rd camera I have is the indoor only smaller version so it plugs in the wall for it’s power source. Well the other two with rechargeable batteries were both fully charged and died with in a week !!! When it’s said to last around 60 days and to 6 months when some statements even mention longer which doesn’t seem correct given mine under 7 days!
If customers are spending good hard earned money on products that aren’t cheap you could at least throw in extra batteries or solar panels for our safety and security and making us feel our money has been well spent and appreciated as a customer. I Plan on returning this product unless ring or some kind of customer service member contacts me to either find a solution to the problem because it seems as if their (ring) products are the problem/issue. I’m considering a more reliable and traditional alarm system through the reputable brands we all see and hear of. Not a happy customer at all to have spent close to 400$ to have my batteries die in less than a week of operation. I feel as if you might as well be using cheap dollar store batteries. I have no problem changing my opinion, thoughts and reviews about ring products just wish they would better back their customers after they committed to their products.

So I purchased these 2 cameras and I could immediately tell I was going to have problems.

First of all, when connecting the cameras to my Wi-fi, it told me my Wi-fi password was incorrect; despite the fact that I literally had my password displayed on my Xfinity TV and knew I was typing in the correct password on the Ring app. Then by some miracle, it finally connected to one camera. I tried connecting the other camera and it kept telling me AGAIN that my Wi-fi password was wrong, even though I selected "use prior network"....

I tried using "Live View" several times and over and over again, I kept getting "Streaming Error" or "Live View Has Ended". The Live View has only worked twice out of probably 50 attempts since I set this thing up several hours ago. I removed batteries, did resets, etc. and I kept getting "Streaming Error" messages. And my Wi-fi strength is strong.

Lastly, the motion detection hasn't detected anything. Notifications are turned on and I physically stood in front of the camera and got absolutely no notifications.

I will be returning this product ASAP and will being going with the Nest. An absolute waste of $185. I should not have to jump through 50 hoops just to have the camera still not work properly in the end.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere if motion detection matters to you
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020
Verified Purchase
I don’t normally write reviews, but I feel like I have duty to write one in this case. These cameras are truly awful. Honestly, if you want motion detection, run in the other direction as quickly as you can.

Now, the more thorough version: the motion detection in this camera is quite limited in its manual options (you can’t manually draw an area where you want the camera to focus its motion detection on, for example) and the automatic options are fairly useless. The motion area simply divides the picture in three (imagine a half circle with three 40-degree angles meeting at the lens, like pizza slices) and you can decide which ones to turn on or off, which is limiting to begin with, but they also don’t work very well.

Most importantly, this camera never picks up motion quickly (with or without “motion verification” turned on). I have my camera set up so it covers the length of the alley leading up from the sidewalk to my front door (~30 feet). I’d say the success rate of it picking up a person walking to my front door is maybe 20%, and the success rate with someone walking back is maybe 40%. So, you will likely get no alert at all, or the alert will only show the person walking back, which is not that useful.

Also, Ring has decided that they would rather have you buy a weird looking adapter than let you simply reverse the image in the even the camera gets mounted upside down on a ceiling).

Finally, I’d suggest a quick search on the web regarding Ring’s privacy policy - it will tell you a lot about the company.

Seriously, look elsewhere!
