Ring Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam), Weather-resistant home or business security camera, outdoor ready, Live View, Color Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, motion alerts, Works with Alexa, White

I’ve been running this camera with the solar panel and it’s been solid. The video quality is clear day and night, and the motion alerts come through quick without a lot of false alarms. Setup was straightforward and didn’t take long. The solar panel has been a big plus. It keeps the battery charged so I don’t have to mess with taking it down to recharge. As long as it gets decent sunlight, it stays topped off. The app is easy to use and lets me check things anytime without issues. It’s held up well in the weather so far. Overall, it does what it’s supposed to do and gives me peace of mind. I’d recommend it if you want something low maintenance.

We got this camera to keep an eye on our puppy, and it works really well. The video quality is clear, the app is easy to use, and it gives us peace of mind when we are not in the room. It has been very helpful for checking in on him, especially during naps, crate time, and when we need to step away. Very happy with this purchase.

I'd been researching and shopping for a simple, battery powered, wifi, home security camera for about 6 months, and I was surprised at actually how few options there were for a quality camera, that had a quality app, that checked off all the other boxes I mentioned above. But during my research I kept coming back to the Ring camera (model: Ring Stick-Up, wireless, battery powered, wifi camera). Besides these features, it offered night vision, a 2-way speaker to be able to communicate if you need to, multiple mounting options were available, and everything about it just seemed to be so streamlined, simple, and well thought out. So I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it and it arrived a couple days ago. First impressions were the quality of the unit in the hand, and the parts. It had a good amount of weight to it, not too much, but enough you could tell it wasn't a flimsy cheap product. I charged the batteries per the instructions, and then I was just flabbergasted at how simple not only the setup process was via the app, but also the installation. Literally it couldn't of been easier and more straight forward. Ring had literally already done all the thinking for you, breaks it down in incredibly simple, easy to understand choices, and literally within 10 minutes I had it installed, and up and running. Since then I've messed around with a few features on phone app, and again just became more impressed with how organized it all was. Literally a child could follow these instructions and set this up (which sometimes is a good thing for me when it comes to technology, lol). So all in all, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Add in that I was able to purchase it on sale, and it makes the whole experience even better. I couldn't recommend this Ring camera enough, and if you are in the market for a similar camera, and like me appreciate a setup that is simple, easy to use, but still offers all the features and security benefits of higher end and/or more expensive alternatives, trust me....purchase this product. You won't regret it! P.S. I originally purchased the Stick-Up PRO model, thinking that for a bit extra $, it had some additional features that might come in handy, but after noticing the significant size difference between the two (the PRO model almost being twice as tall, and a bit wider as well), and then coming to find out that the basic Stick-Up model actually offered 90% of the core features that the PRO model advertised, I ended upnchanging my order. In my opinion the PRO version is not worth the extra money, and if a smaller, less noticeable camera size is something that matters to you, as it did me, then I can assure you you'll be getting everything you need with the basic Stick-up model. Not to mention paying nearly half as much 👍🏻

Before I start my revised review, let me state that there's been a lot of news lately about people hacking into Ring cameras, but this only happens when someone installs a new camera and doesn't update the default username and password (or has an extremely weak password which is easy for a hacker to guess). This is like leaving your front door open while on vacation. Your camera is sending and receiving signals over a wireless network. Anyone within range of the signal can potentially be a threat if you don't have good encryption (username and good password) set up on your camera. There's no logical reason for a Ring owner to not do this. Ring even stresses changing the default settings during the initial setup process. Bottom line, don't blame the car manufacturer if you leave the keys in your car and it gets stolen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently, I wrote a rather scathing 1 star review about the problems I was having with my new Ring Stick Up Wireless Battery Cam. I'm no stranger to wireless cams, having 10 hooked up and running seamlessly on another network as I write this, but I was totally frustrated with the connection reliability, not only with my two upper end cellphones, but also on my Galaxy Tab and Amazon Show. More times than not, the software wouldn't connect with the camera but when it did, the video was choppy. Notifications were also hit and miss. I have a great wireless mesh router system throughout the house, so after doing all the troubleshooting I could think of, I assumed it was due to faulty hardware or software. I gave up and started the return process through Amazon. It was a new product after all and new products sometimes are really buggy. Plus, I read other negative reviews which seemed to justify my thoughts and actions. Then I got an email from a gentleman from Ring saying he read my review and asked if I'd be willing to let him help troubleshoot my issues with me. Although I had already started the return process, I was willing. It was refreshing to know Ring Customer Service was genuinely interested in troubleshooting possible defects in their newest product. Together, we isolated the issue within about 20 minutes. It turned out it wasn't the camera or software after all. Anyone having connection issues should do what he advised me to do. Open up the Ring app and click on the 3 little dots to the upper right of the camera screenshot, then select settings. From there go to Device Health and check the signal strength. Although I had a good mesh hub (inside) within 10 feet of my camera (mounted outside), my signal strength was RSSI -64. He stated that the signal was so weak it was on the cusp of what is needed for the camera to even minimally operate. This prompted me to reboot my wireless mesh system and reset/reconnect the camera. When it came back online, my signal strength went to -39, a vast improvement. A quick check of all of my devices showed the camera and software working flawlessly. Hat's off to Ring. Anyone who may be having connection or audio/video/notification difficulties, check your signal strength to the camera via the Ring software, even if your router is close by. You just might be surprised. ***UPDATE*** Camera (and software) is still working flawlessly on all devices. Ring has now updated their Windows 10 desktop app (which previously didn't work with the new wireless battery cams) and it works flawlessly as well. Observations. Notifications on my phone, Tab and Amazon devices (Show, Echo, Dot) are almost instantaneous. Alexa says "Someone is at your front door." Very cool. I bought an extra battery, but it looks like it'll be at least a few months before I need to swap it out, even with the intensive testing I've done on the Stick Up Cam. Battery life seems excellent. I have one zone blocked out and that seems to work fine as well. I also have it mounted a couple of feet above and to the left of my front door, tilting downward at an angle. Even though residential traffic is visible in the field of view, I've not gotten one trigger due to street activity. The motion sensor is triggered by anything coming into the bottom half of it's field of view. From the time someone triggers the motion sensor until the time I'm aware of it is 1-2 seconds. That's about as close to real time as you can get. It's not given me a false alarm even once. Telling my Amazon Show to "(Alexa), show front door cam" takes about 5 seconds to complete. I can also watch triggered video clips and get a live feed while away from home without any extra setup to my network. It's totally automatic. Because of the customer service I received from Ring and the fact the product is much better than I originally thought, I will be expanding my Ring family soon.

Summary: Great devices, good quality video, easy to setup and help keep the family feeling secure. I have 5 of these around my home and even two at a remote rural property. They keep me well informed of whats happening and help keep the family feeling safe, especially when I am not there. Pros: Easy setup Quality image and audio Good wide coverage Cons: I find that the movement detection even when in shot is limited, not seeing movement further from the camera, this is critical at my rural property as most movement happens at more than 10m from the camera which doesn't seem to trigger even though its in the alert area - Subscription plan

I added this Stick Up Cam to our home security setup and overall it has been a good experience. Installation was straightforward since it’s battery powered and doesn’t require wiring, so I could place it where I needed without fuss. Once connected to the Ring app it paired quickly and I was able to customise motion zones and alert preferences right away. The video quality is clear and captures enough detail to see people and activity around the house day and night. Motion alerts come through reliably to my phone, and the live view feature lets me check what’s happening right when I want. I’ve found the two-way talk feature useful as well when someone is at the door or in the yard. Battery life seems decent. I haven’t had to charge it too often with normal daily motion activity, though heavy use or frequent motion alerts will mean recharging sooner rather than later, which seems typical for battery-powered cameras of this kind. One thing to be aware of is that to get full video history and some advanced features you need a Ring subscription. Without it you still get real-time alerts and live view, but clips aren’t stored unless you sign up for a plan. Overall this camera gives me peace of mind with easy setup, good coverage and dependable alerts. It’s a solid choice for anyone who wants a flexible outdoor camera without the hassle of wires.

Very good visability in all weather! So fast to set up and add to existing cams in the app. Highly recommend

Works perfectly

Great camera but for the window I need it for, it can’t see through the fly screen so I’m only really using as a scare tactic atm
