Super Easy to Install, no wires necessary!

I have a Ring pro on my front door and loved it so much that I wanted something for the back patio since I have contracts (lawn, pool, trees, etc) in my backyard. My challenge however is that all the walls on the patio are either stucco or rock, which makes it near impossible to run a hidden power line. So I opted for this option and so far it works great. The lights are pretty bright and the motion detection works as expected. As for the battery life, it has been in for a couple weeks and it has lost about 10% battery. So I’m guessing it will last about 3 months before it needs a charge. I just ordered a second battery which should double that battery life. The connection is very quick, it seems to connect much faster than my front door, but in fairness it is closer to the wireless router. As for installation, I installed it using the provided screws into the frame of my patio door. It actually works perfect there because you can’t really see it and allows me to perfectly position it for motion detection. My only complaint is the motion zone setup. Unlike the ring pro where I can “draw” motion zones (which significantly helps reduce motion alerts), it only allows you to specify a distance. It really isn’t very intuitive, so I just leave it at mid-range and it seems to work just fine for now. Beware, in order to have video playback, you do have to subscribe to the ring premium service. And you have to have a subscription per device! I have it for my front door, not sure I’m gonna pay for the back door. That was kind of a bummer to find out I’d have to pay more. It should be a household subscription. Overall, I’m very happy with the device and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to install solution without wires.

Five Stars

Update #2 With the solar panel or the charging cable you can buy from Amazon the battery issue goes completely away. Now you're left with a great camera, I have several. Update, the battery only lasts 2 weeks. Beware, the spotlight cam wired has a 20-foot molded cable. The mount is the one that is actually wired. The camera works well, but the battery does not. when I went to order a different solution the website is very misleading. you may want to watch some customer installation videos to get an idea. Awesome camera. Bought it off the treasure truck. Hopefully they will have this again.

Remote video without any wires!

I saw these and was intrigued about having video at the front and back of the house without any wiring, so I ordered two. I was concerned with the battery life. The packaging and instructions were great. I got them set up quickly and installed the software on my wife's phone. I have an older phone that runs Android 4.4 and the software was not compatible with that old of a version, which I cannot criticize. The cameras have worked flawlessly over the past three months and provide us with the peace of mind of knowing who is near our house. One side benefit is that we know when parcels are delivered so we can make sure to fetch them right away. Some of the delivery people don't bother to knock or ring the doorbell, so this keeps packages from sitting on the front porch waiting for a thief. The battery life has been good. The phone app tells you when they need recharging and it's a simple press of the button to open the battery compartment and slide out the battery. I have only charged them once since installing them. There is no indicator telling you when the batteries are fully charged though. I charged them for 3-4 hours, and upon re-installation, ihe app said they were about 50% charged. Next time I will leave them on for about 8 hours. All in all, I am very pleased with these two cameras and the software. They were a little expensive, but for the money, you get quick setup and operation as well as a seamless app. If you want to record the events for later playback, it will cost $30 per camera per year, which is reasonable.

Wireless Freedom - Ring Cam Battery

Love the freedom of wireless, the solar panels work great and only need a couple of hours of sunlight per day to keep the batteries topped off. Video quality is great and I've got eyes on the whole yard now. Just picked up 3 of these beauties. Simply system anyone can install and operate. Thank You Ring!! I bought a camera system a few years ago with a hard drive a 4 wired cameras. Wires all over the house and you need a PHD in programming to get the system to work. It ended up in the trash without ever making a single recording. Ring just makes it all doable for the average Non PHD humans...

Ring is cheaper and the hd clarity is amazing on my app.

This is my 3rd product that I bought from Ring, I have the doorbell 2, and the chime. I needed a camera for my back door and this fit the bill exactly. it was so easy to install and i love the new rechargeable battery it makes everything so easier. i looked into several companies security companies for a similar product like ADT, Comcast Xfinity, ATT etc.. and they all were so overpriced and there monthly fees are outrageous when this camera price if u spread out over 12 months is way cheaper with no contracts whatsoever. very simply for a mom like me to install and watch tru my phone app. I love the Ring.

Optimizing your signal strength may take some time and patience if you have a less than ideal wifi signal strength.

All in all a excellent product. There was definitely a learning curve in optimizing the wifi signal strength and the purchase of a second Ring Chime Pro (I already had a video Door Bell 2 and a Chime Pro.) The reason I still give a five star is I suspect the issue is more with my router/wifi hub than the Ring products. The instructions and short videos are clear and accurate. The two times I called customer service I received prompt, knowledgeable and courteous assistance as well as a no fuss quick replacement for the initial Ring 2 I purchased from a third party when the motion detection did not work.

New Camera, New Update!!

Updated Review: Received a new camera from Ring. Setup this past weekend and it has been great so far. A lot different and better results from my first go with Ring. I had upgraded my network devices, modem and router. No more drops or freezing. Worked with Alexis from Ring support and she has been great!! The camera works flawless.

Great Camera. Works well for the backyard.

We have this camera for the backyard and also the ring doorbell for the front door. We got the doorbell first and think it does the job. It is not the best nor is it the worst. Now the camera for the backyard is very nice. We got it as a safety precaution because we felt someone had used the pool while we were away and did not want that to be a safety issue. As you can see in these live pictures I just took that it covers pretty much the whole yard and you can zoom into areas on the app with your finger. Also pictured. We have the sensor set Just right to capture the movement in the backyard. At night when motion is detected the lights fire up to record. There is also an option to push an alarm on the light. It’s not super loud but loud enough for the neighbors to hear and scare persons away. I have also included a screenshot of the app view of the ring items we have. I would recommend this camera but really recommend using the solar panel with the camera and not have to worry about taking the battery out to charge it.

Initially no so great but awesome customer support

The camera itself is fine but keeping it charged was a crap shoot. I have the original stick-up cam and the solar panel and had zero problems. I went to get another stick up cam a few years later and now it’s this big floodlight camera but whatever, I got it. Only then to realize the old solar panel jack doesn’t fit this camera so naturally I had to buy the new one. Anyway, this new solar panel has never charged or maintained the charge on my camera rendering it basically useless. Now I have to bring the battery inside periodically to charge it. Not thrilled. The camera itself is good while it’s working but as soon as it loses charge and the battery has to be brought inside, it’s not useful anymore Ring got in touch and apparently the solar panel was a dud. They immediately sent a new panel and another battery just in case. Super quick and easy to work with them
