Interesting idea. Have to give Ring credit for thinking of new ways to use the camera.
This has just become available in the UK.
It’s great that it fully integrates into an existing SuC, but I wish they had thought a little more about the power options, especially for those of us who use the battery & solar options on our outdoor cams. A POE option would have been great🤷♂️
Hoping it won’t take long for the 3rd party market to come along with an external battery pack 👀🤓
LIfeHackster, Another awesome product review. It is a nice "new" feature device by Ring which is trying to play catch up against other PT(Z) branded cameras, but I am not fully sold on this additional Ring P&T device. I purchased the Reolink E1 outdoor camera instead as it has autotracking and 5MP with zoom 5x.
Great video! Clear and concise.👍🏽
Thank you for this video. Used it to set up my equipment. Video was very concise and easy to follow.
Thanks for watching!
Pan and tilt is always the way to go, imo! Looking for another PTZ, hope to see your take on the Reolink RLC-523WA soon. Great channel, awesome info!
I'll check it out!
@4:01 That is clearly a design floor on Rings part. An intruder could literally unplug the power cable from the back of the camera to disable it. Ring are just making it easier and easier to defeat their cameras.
I was hoping you were doing this review. It's a nice add-on. I agree with you that should add the tracking feature in the near future. It's cool. I have mine plugged in but for the area it is, I don't think I will need pan/tilt features. But's it's definitely nice add-on. Thanks for the review!
Thank you.
Excellent review as always! You are the DeFacto Camera expert!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the great video!
Yeah very good idea hopefully they will upgrade it to battery or solar power. Also I hope the outdoor siren will become available in the US one day.
Thanks again dude
Great video
Thank you.
Welcome!
Is there a way to change the Home position after it has been set during the initial set up?
Watching this video and all your videos I've bought a few of these pan & tilt devices... True you get 45 bucks worth of usage.. Not BAD at all.. but I can't find out how to change the home position..I need to change that from season to season..
It’s not bad now if they program for it to pan on it on def be awesome
Nice review. Thanks! You covered what one would hope. So what I'm about to write is not a criticism. One thing few reviewers cover is that the Ring software interface is not fully functional on desktop versions. I understand they once had an app for this, but now it is fully browser based. A lot of features are missing and support told me they have no plans to make the browser version more robust. Numerous things are missing from the browser version. E.g., you cannot control the pan & tilt from a browser, only from a cell phone. I sit at a computer most of the day with 3 screens. I use one screen to show all 4 of my cameras (in 4 browser windows) resized for one view. Of course, the screens refresh or go off every 10 minutes or so, and they must be manually refreshed. A mere click of a button does that, but it would be much better not to have to refresh so often. Once an hour, maybe. But every 10 minutes? Also, to pan or tilt, I must open the app on my phone and do it from there. Finally, resetting the home position of the P&T is not obvious, but is found in Device settings / General Settings / Home position (and can only be accessed on a phone.) I use a phone all the time; but I don't like this limitation TO the phones. Disappointing.
I am assuming what you are trying to do with your Ring cameras is stream to your monitor for long periods of time. This is not what Ring cameras are designed for. They only record when they detect motion and give you a notification. They are not designed for streaming constantly in your phone or monitor. You might want to check out NVR wired systems and with this system, you can stream 24/7 on to your monitor.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate it, especially since you originally posted 11 long months ago! And I certainly don't dispute anything you have said. Nor am I complaining about your videos. I watched several of them before buying my setup. However, the more specific problem I am talking about is that I watched numerous reviews prior to buying 4 cameras and the pan & tilt, and not one (at least not that I remember) addressed the problem that the browser interface is far different and not fully functional compared to the phone, or that Ring was limited to 10 minutes at a time. I specifically asked Ring sales whether one could view on a desktop and was assured that I could. Of course, I did not know to ask whether the systems gave the same service. And no one gave a heads up about the online interface being so different. Ring certainly does not clearly warn about this: I had to find it out after all of my installs. It is too late for me to return the cameras now, hundreds of dollars later. So i am stuck with Ring. Again, I'm not complaining about your videos (they were great) and helpful. But I am hoping to raise a red flag for anyone interested in viewing on desktop. Thanks again.
Nice accessory
Thanks for watching
Wish they do more POE models, since I can run more lines that way
I agree.
Ring has done nothing but improve their products, this is a great addition to their lineup! I'd bet in another year or 2 you'll see one that has all the options people mention in these comments and more.
i hope so
wow! nice !! 💯
Thanks 🔥
I have the ring battery operated stick up cam outdoors.can you tell me once motion is detected and it starts recording is the blue light meant to stay on when recording?
Great product review. The camera doesn't go into setup mode when I attached the pan-tilt mount. I tried setting up the camera first and then attaching it to the mount, but it still doesn't activate the pan-tilt in the app. Any advice?
Similar question to others: if the camera is mounted upside down is it possible for software to reorient the camera image?
Ex: mounting it from the roof eaves or a tree branch.
Would this work with the solar power accessory?
I have a question with all your wifi products do find a need to buy a wifi extender so you get the maximum coverage around your house?
Can you add the pan & tilt bracket to the Elite(POE)unit?
I need it to move around. Is to keep an eye on my pool equipment while I'm away.
Dual battery power pack model is a must and solar
I think Ring creates the problems then sells you the solutions.. its always been a flawed product and then they sell you the "fix "and this biz model has worked well for them.
i have 2 stick up came both wired and i wanted ring to create a PTZ and here it is.. Honestly i like its cool that its bends upward so you can see the sky at night for whatever reason. i think for auto tracking would be a easy future update and most likely would be only for subscribers to the ring plus. My impression is vs the competitions its a quick fix" to loosing sales to eufy and other ptz cameras with 2k resolutions , auto tracking and other features. Ring knew this and here is the quick fix to that share of the market., I think ill get one to play with it
Is there a way to lock the swivel in a position you want to leave it in after viewing? The camera seems to reset it self back to neutral when you log in again. Be nice to have it stay in a position you would like it to stay in.
I added a routine in Alexa to display motion alerts on my echo show and it works. However it stops recording in Ring and shows answered motion. Is there a fix to continue recording.
So hi lifehackster
What if I don't have any of the Ring cams can I go ahead and buy one of these your putting together out of 2 different ring stick up cameras ready to go??👍Or have you already explained that thank you 🤔
Can you recommend a pan/tilt base that is wi-fi controlled that would be able to mount onto an ALC camera? (I just want to be able to pan and tilt my existing system)
Great video ! , will you be doing a compression and review on the Ring Outdoor Camera Elite (Stick Up Cam) soon or in the future ? @LifeHackster
Just wondering if you knew how to rest the home calibration function my one seems to be set at angle .
Great Review of the Ring Pan&Tilt Mount, I wish to mount this under my easement of the house, how can I achieve this? Thank You
But the camara when is active when people is walking around is moving 360 around and the camara fallout the person or we moving manual
Can you give me tips on how to set up the pan tilt with the solar panel? Having trouble getting it set up since when you need to push reset button it has to be removed from the pan tilt mount, therefore having no power to it. 🤷🏻♀️
Is the mount available for the gen 3 plug in? Thanks Jim
Can you plug into 12V via usb power instead of having to plug into 120?
Is the wired Stick up cam wired water resistant? It seems like most people set it up on a vertical wall under an eave. I would like to set it up out in the open where all the elements will hit it.
How do you re-do the “default view”?
I love you man. What's your go to cam for personal use. The best all around?
I have been using Ring cameras and Eufy - wired ones are better than their battery versions.
Not a bad idea..At least you have the option to make a fixed cam to a pan and tilt..but it's still too expensive..
Yes, it is in the expensive side.
I’d like to mount this unit on ceiling! Is there an upside down feature?
You would have to mount that expensive thing so high up, that the motion section would have issues.
In my area there's a rash of ppl prying security cameras off houses. This would be a prime target.
Yes, it does stand out.
Will it work with the solar panel?
Can you set a home position when using this attachment??
If only it could use the camera battery in conjunction with the solar panel.
I know.
Definitely wish the pan and tilt was battery powered. Whole reason I got the stick up cam was because I didn’t have any outdoor outlets.
Doesn’t need to be plugged in in order to work or can I charge it in the house first?
Can the power cable be the solar one?
Can this Pan/Tilt Stick Up Camera be connected and operated off of a Solar Panel..??
Mr life hackster can you recommend something to me that I can use to trigger a light to go on with motion?
I used to have routines in the Alexa app that when my eufy2c camera detected motion I could trigger a light to go on. For some reason it doesn't work anymore
Try to reprogram the routine. What I found reliable though is Ring Smart Lighting together with their cameras because it integrates on the app themselves. Another thing which should also work is just a separate motion floodlight or even those solar motion lights, they also work pretty good and get triggered every time they sense motion.
Does it get you alerts when someone walks in the view?
I want to put a wired stick up camera outdoors. I have a 120v outlet very close to the camera mount. If I buy a wired camera will the PTZ mount work with it?
Yes.
How do I know if my battery powered camera will work with this?
So i guess this does not work with the smaller indoor cam? Tnx.
I have a few ring cameras outside and each one is hooked to a ring solar panel. Does not seem like I can use the solar panels for this. Bummer.
Do they make a battery only version now?
hey LH do u offer tech help, specifically with a reolink nvr system? i live near u
Have you find a way to reset the home position once set up? Great video bro i bought 2
Would like to know the answer this.
We don’t have the voice stating you are being recorded, is that US only or needs to be wired ?
Can i use this setup for outside but instead of pluging it in through outlets for power can i use solar power ?
This is only plugged in.. no solar power option.
Can I pan and tilt and change the default view of the cam remotely?
Yes you can.
Can you install this on the ceiling?
I'm actually looking to do POe camera outside the garage wall. Well let's work on that POE camera?
How do I install this under the eve's?!
05:28 where did you buy those cable clips?
They are coax clips and available at big box hardware stores or amazon -> amzn.to/3o2YPSV
Hi I have the same camera but I run it with the solar panel you sink if works with the solar panel? Thanks
No it will not work with a solar panel because there is no battery for the panel to charge. The mount uses the battery compartment to give power to the camera.
@@LifeHackster ok thanks
Do the stick up cam also come with a siren option?
Yes, it has a siren which is manually triggered in the app.
Thanks for the great review. Can pan and tilt and camera be mounted under an eve rather than a vertical surface?
I'm not an engineer and I dont usually read instructions, but why is the base at an angle???? When I turn my camera to see other areas, I also have to readjust for the angle or everything is on its side. Am I doing something wrong, or did Ring? Should it not be on a 90 degree base so that when panning, everything stays level? Thank you
I know they want it to be installed higher up in a wall that is why they designed it tilted down.
@@LifeHackster that makes as much sense as anything truthfully. wish it would level out but cant have everything. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy the channel
if your camera is already set to plugin. how do you get the app to see the pan and tilt?
Nevermind I got it. My app needed updated. Well I also had to factory rest my camera to get it to go into setup for the wire connection.
How can turn on night vision. I have mind in my house for my pets, when it's dark in my house I can't see my pets at all.
Need one for battery spotlight cam
That would be nice.
Can I add the pan tilt to an existing cam? If so how do I do it? Just plug & play?
Just with the ring stick up cam.
@@LifeHackster Right, I should have said it was a stick up cam. I figured it out. Plug and play pretty much. Love your channel & content. Thanks! 🎥
This addon makes the first security screw of the camera pointless to my understanding. Someone can still twist off the camera, but leave the pan/tilt module. Not sure what they were thinking.
Has anyone put a stick up cam battery outdoors in the elements. How has it held up? Without a skin? They claim it’s outdoor camera as well but it looks more for indoors if you ask me. And this pan tilt machine seems like a dumb idea if you ask me lol. Just get a dedicated pan tilt camera? Right?
I had one out in the element in northern Idaho since July of last year. It still works fine and the solar has kept it at %100 battery ever since. Snow will collect on the lense once in a while but don’t hurt it. I just whipe the snow off and it’s good to go.
But you have to doit By yourself It doesn’t move by itself ?
Sir your videos are very helpful
Thanks so much
Just wondering i am looking fot my ring stick up pan tilt 3rd gen wired camera Bracket from amazon 5:10 preferabily ceiling & wall mount for my outdoor back yard corner wall spot so i can view side yard or back yard
By controlling from ring app remotely
By viewing either side
Appreciate if you can send me video or link or brand name picture or model
Thanks very much
I can’t get my pan and tilt installed
Unfortunately you can't invert the image. I wanted mine under the eave
Has ring got waterproof covers for there cameras?
There are aftermarket silicone sleeves but they are pretty durable. I have my Ring Floodlight Cam out in the elements and no issues.
@@LifeHackster I’ve got ring doorbell but I’ve got canopy out front of house that’s why I get away with having that but looked at other ring cameras but the covers are only available in America it seems.
@life hackster ia it possible i akd my wife use one account same email and password with our home ring security cameras and systems???? And again i don't know whats wrong with her ring app because is not yet updated bit mine is updated
Yes, it is.
It is very possible me and my husband use the same app same log in info. Just be sure in the event there is a emergency she is listed as well on the app under shared access and knows password needed in case of accidental trigger.
If you follow that process it will be fine and additional if she needs to call ring her and your info will be required.
Can you hook up the solar to the pan tilt base?
Does it work with solar panel too?
Unfortunately, No. It will only work when plugged in.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for your answer! Then I got a wrong recommendation from Ring support unfortunately 😩
Motion warnings must be a USA feature, don’t have it here in the United Kingdom
Hopefully, it will be available there soon.
I’m very curious if this will work with solar panels power
Did you try the solar panels? I am trying to get mine set up with the solar panel but having some trouble since it wants you to push the reset button but when you remove the camera off the mount to do this there is no power. I am hoping someone can give me some guidance.
@@jklhopkins no I didn't try it yet and I haven't seen anybody talk about making any attempt to do so also.. I should give it a try and see how it turns out
Can’t find this mount anywhere
Here you go (affiliate link) - amzn.to/4cPNLPe
I've tried Eufy, Wyze, Reolink, Ring and my Blue Iris POE custom system. Obviously ,the POE setup is the most reliable but in my experience Ring is 2nd as their infrastructure is way more reliable than the others. Eufy, Wyze, and Reolink are not reliable, their software is not reliable and their infrastructure is not reliable hence why they are the cheaper options IMO.
Crap. Made a mistake buying this because I thought I could use the battery in my camera AND keep my solar panel connected to use it outside. Oh well. I'll figure out where to use this as I have multiple cameras. One first edition of the Stick Up cam doesn't work so well at night anymore. Might just replace it or relocate it. These newer cameras may simply work better with night vision now.
So if power goes off in storm the ring battery camera is useless because battery is remove to mount Cam tilt and is power by outlet power instead of ring making shell of battery instead of solid Donny battery to insert in cam battery cameras so this way battery would insert in shell of Cam tilt and in case of power loss battery would keep camera to record and send video till power is back in other case one is wasting money to buy tilt cam with battery since battery is useless in these case
I will hold off to buy tilt till they fix the battery cam tilt holder to dummy shell and insert the original battery for stock up cam battery to charge in power losss
I hope other will write also so Ring would change their cam tilt sep battery camera
Tks
Would like it better if I could mount it under my eave
Wyze needs to do something like this
Yes, there should for their V3.
What a rip wish I had Eufy but I already loaded my house up with Ring
Plug-In. Deal breaker from the start of the video, I live in a Apartment & can't have cords running out on my balcony without the door being a little open.
Can you say lag?
In 2 days really regret to buy this… First problem: On cellular data the live view doesn’t work at all… Problem 2: calibration failed… Wasted money…
Meh… waiting on a good company to go full HomeKit, then I’ll be ditching all my ring stuff
