![This is a Stick Up! [Ring Stick Up Cam Battery Review!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/y8F3q8YwHTs/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you for highlighting all the options such as mounting on the wall but needing it to face down the side
You're welcome. It's another reason I had to get the ceiling mount bracket. Lesson learnt by me at that point.
@@MakeLifeClick Do You Setup Your Ring Stick Up Cam Solar?
thank you.
Great information.
Thanks! Appreciate you letting me know. 👍🏻
Hi love these type of videos first subscriber
Thanks for subbing!
Fantastic review as I try to figure out what pieces i need. With the wall mount can i turn it 90 deg so i can mount to a vertical fence post?
I can’t see why that wouldn’t work. You could just secure the included base without the wall mount possibly? If you just want it on top of the post.
You can change the orientation thru the app. , go to sittings and adjust the orientation.
Thanks.
very information. question, it comes with 3 cameras does all 3 have to be at the same house? or can i use 2 at one house and the 1 at another house down the street?
I believe these can be anywhere you want. As long as you can get a Wi-Fi signal to them, that should be enough. They should be fine be on different wifi signals.
excellent
Thanks Will!
What's the maximum angle you can put the camera pointing down? I'm planning on putting it 16 feet or so under the soffit and want it to monitor my yard for people who don't pick up after their dogs. Do you think I should just buy the extra mounting kit outright?
Yeah. If you’re hanging it from under the soffit just spend the money on the bracket from the start. That was my error not doing that. Good luck.
Well mine has a hole on the bottom that allows the mount to be screwed in from underneath so you do not need the extra mount have you actually looked
Thanks Dazza. Yes, they have a bottom mount for upright placement but this doesn’t work for suspending from a ceiling. You can’t place it upside down as the picture doesn’t flip. If you have a link to a photo it would be interesting to see how yours would? Thanks.
Hey - great video. I have just purchased the same. Do you know if I need to have the camera set up in 'wired' or' battery' mode with solar connected? I connected mine to 'wired' mode as I was prompted by the app but the battery drained almost completely from full charge overnight.
Yes, it’s not clear at set up but go with battery. It prompts you for wired but then drains incredibly fast. It thinks it’s wired but choose battery and you’ll get the right duration of battery and footage etc.
I was about to ask the same question. Definitely good to know.
So you connect the solar, leave battery in, and choose battery option in the app?
great video! how long does the battery last without the solar panel? thx!
Interesting you should ask as I'd never used it without the solar panel but I just bought a second camera without the panel so I can now comment on that.
Not to give a cliche response but it really does depend on how often it has to detect motion. With my Ring Doorbell 2, I charge it probably every 2-3 months. With the Ring Stick Up Cam I bought for the driveway it gets a lot of motion alerts - every time someone walks up and down the driveway and every time we drive up and down the driveway. So, for the new unit, I end up charging it about every 4-6 weeks. For the new camera I am now going to invest in the solar panel as it just needs it to avoid such regular charging.
@@MakeLifeClick solar panel looks tacky and to big doesn't look nice on house
Is the solar a standard headphone jack? I have a solar panel with micro USB that I’d like to get an adapter for so that it’s compatible
It’s a standard connection for most third party solar panels but not a headphone jack.
@@MakeLifeClick thanks. Put the camera up last week. Works really well. Ordered an adapter for my previous solar panel that is a micro USB. This one looks like a standard 3.5 DC charging jack.
GREAT THOROUGH VIDEO BRO👍👍👍WITH OUT SUBSCRIBED TO RING IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO STORED ON RING TO YOUR PHONE. DOES the RING APP ALLOW YOU TO SCREEN SHOT A FREEZE ON A SUBJECT TO YOUR PHONE WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION?
Yes, you can download to your phone. You can download and screenshot also. I have the new Ring Pro which I'll review for everyone soon!
I gave others a thumbs down for not showing how the solar panel plugs into the camera , nice job brother thanks that just got a thumbs up
Woot! Thanks.
Can you have Alexa announce from multiple devices. Such as if you have a dot or show on multiple levels of the house etc? I tried setting up a routine but it will only allow me to choose one “ from “ device that she’ll tell you from??? I’d like it to announce from all alexas in my home at the same time. Is there a way to do this?
Hey DeJay - to my knowledge this isn't possible right now. I do find it odd that you can't select 'everywhere' in the same way you can say 'play music everywhere' in groups. Thanks for the question, sorry it's not the preferred answer. It's Chimes or a select Alexa device. You can link multiple chimes but not with echo/show etc.
@@MakeLifeClick you can if you set a routine with an “announcement” or “ notification” can’t remember which one, but that gives the option to go to all devices
I installed the app, it prompted me to register and pay for a subscription. Can I test camera and solar panel without subscribing?
wow..this camera is actually bulky :-O I was interested in this camera to install above my garage door and work with my ring doorbell. Wish it was smaller.
Considering they have to fit in a decent sized battery it could be worse. I don’t mind the size and think the presence is also important for people to see.
Did you watch any videos before purchase to see how big it was in people hands?
Hope you at least like the features?
@@MakeLifeClick Thank you for your response! No, I haven't purchased this camera yet. I was looking for TH-cam videos to see what it looks like when it's mounted outside. I have nosy neighbors lol so I was wishing the camera a bit smaller. Not a big deal and I can't really avoid that people see the camera(s) installed anyways. I have Reolink Argus 2 cameras and they false alarm a lot. I changed camera angles of Argus2 many times and it only helped a bit so it has been frustrating. I am still interested in Ring stick up camera :) Anyways, your video is informative. Thank you!
@@nin-ninsensei3602 No problem. You could also consider the Blink X2 option? This has a slightly less obvious look to it but is still quite big. You can also get the Ring Stick Up Cam in Black if that helps it blend in.
The Blink X2 amzn.to/2Ybfvcy
@@MakeLifeClick ok, thank you for your advice!!
Do you need to subscribe to cloud service to use as a security camera?
No…and yes. You can get alerts and notifications from your cameras but no recording unless you pay.
Also consider: makelifeclick.com/best-video-doorbell-without-subscription/
From their website.
Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events.
The all new 3rd generation stick up solar cam got Siren?
It does have an alarm built in. I demonstrate it in the video about 3/4 of the way through. Thanks.
Hi, how long is the cable it comes with?
The ring solar panel cable length is 13-ft. (3.96-m.)
Do u pay to have the motion detection? Any monthly charge to look back at footage
No and Yes. You don't pay for the motion detection but you have to pay for video storage. This means if someone rings your door bell, or you get a motion detection alert you can look at your camera feed live and see what is happening, talk to people etc. But, if you want to look at video from motion alerts earlier in the day, or the past, then you have to pay.
A basic subscription gives you 60 days of video storage in the cloud. Check more at ring.com/
Hope that helps.
@@MakeLifeClick thanks. Looking to get some cameras bc my car was broken into.
So if you're using power or solar does the unit still need to have a battery connected?
Yes. The solar charges the battery.
@@MakeLifeClick MLC, do you by chance have a Doorbell 3 or 4? I am finding that the app notification does not always work properly when pressed. Sometimes I hear chimes or just the normal cascading notification sound, why?
I failed to install solar panel in seattle due to short of sun light.
Yeah, winter is hard in the Pacific Northwest sometimes. Sunshine can be hard to find.
Can I just use the cam or do I also need to buy a doorbell?
You don’t need a doorbell as well. The Camera operates on its own too. Hope that helps! Mark
Hey when you installed your stickup cam with the solar panel did you put it as wired or battery? Initially I had put it as battery but then Ring App told me to switch it to wired mode since it detected the solar panel.
Hey Carlos. Thanks for the question. I have mine set to battery and it hasn’t told me off for it. I’m sure wired is fine and doubt it will have any significant change to how it works. I might be wrong but mine continues operate fine.
I am getting a new panel for another ring stick up cam I have so I’ll let you know if it tells me differently on that one.
Make Life Click I purchased 2 stickup cams and 2 solar panels, they were installed today by best buy geek squad . Both cameras are drained I cant see anything. The geek squad guy did wired. How do i know if the solar panel works because they were in the sun all day since 10am this morning now its dead.
weavedivas yeah i had the same issue. All you have to do is manually reset it from wired to battery. You have to go to the app say that you’re changing it to battery mode in device settings and it should prompt you to go to the device and hold down on a button and follow the setup process again. It should reset the settings and you should be good. Took me about 5 mins and haven’t had a problem.
weavedivas and yeah i also have the solar panel and the battery barely drains with it.
Carlos Tapia thanks so much! I wondering if I should call geek squad back since i paid for them to install them and they are up high.
Does it work with no power and no wifi remote areas
Hey! It will work with only solar power but it needs WiFi to work. It does not store anything on the camera itself. It sends the data back to the cloud via a WiFi connection.
You didn't go over the setup of the camera password and everything how does that work can you cover that and another video
It’s nice and easy. Just download the ring app and follow the step by step video and picture guidance to set it up.
live view resolution is amazing, recording resolution is very bad, how to adjust?
Is it poor quality to watch back on you phone or when you download it?
@@MakeLifeClick all good, it was just the buffering, took time, resolution is fine, unfortunately I burned one due to wrong voltage.
can i stream the camera to a tv ? thanks !
It’s not a native function. You can stream to any Amazon show video device on demand. Ring isn’t really designed for streaming. It’s really designed for on motion activation. Constant streaming from a battery device isn’t realistic for extended periods. You can get snapshots through the day and get live view on demand but nit just have it on your screen all day. Hope that helps. If not let me know.
@@MakeLifeClick got it , thank you so much !
That solar panel looks huge. Does the solar panel keep the battery charged? You really didn’t discuss it much in this video.
I really think Ring needs to either include the ceiling bracket in the box or redesign that mount so you can use it to mount it to a ceiling.
They also need to design an outdoor camera with a built in solar panel, that would put them at the top of the market. I hear having to recharge those batteries is a PITA.
Otherwise great video, thanks.
The Solar Panel isn't small but it has to be a decent size to power the battery charging. It has kept my battery charged through Summer, and now Winter with much less exposure to the sun. Recharging the batteries can be a PITA for high traffic areas. Where ever possible, go for the solar panel and find somewhere to put it out of the way if possible. I could hide my solar panel on the roof easily but haven't yet - this is why I prefer the separate solar panel to having it built into the camera. This way the camera can still be a bit smaller and you can use the long cable to move the panel somewhere less obvious. Just some thoughts. Thanks for the comment!
@@MakeLifeClick how big is the solar panel it looks to bulky and cheap looking .do you think the solar panel wouldn't look to tacky in the front of my house?
Do I need to buy a battery
No. The rechargeable battery is included with the device. See link in description for the correct battery model.
Since Amazon bought ring out the one to one person help is not much to say
Do you mean the customer support has changed since Amazon bought ring?
@@MakeLifeClick I used to be able to call for assistance. It seems to me it was changed some.
No night time footage?
There is a small snippet about 1:15 that includes a little spiders web. :)
do the ring stick up cam have continuous recording?
No, only 'record on event'. You can live stream live as long as you like but not continuous.
Make Life Click How long are the event clips?
@@700horses Doorbell is 30 seconds. The Ring Stick Up Cam is 15 seconds but has had clips 20 seconds. This is probably due to the smart processing options you have to reduce the amount of false movement that might occur.
Or just hardwired it with the old doorbell wires that are already there's duh
This is specifically the solar model, not the mains model - thats different. Can't be hardwired.
It doesn't need to be on if your at home just like setting the system when your away
OK.
How much is it
Hi Pool Man - you can see the up to date price here: amzn.to/3abJBCb
You Need Buy Amazon Echo 1st Generation!
I have a second and third gen? Can I ask why you suggest this?
@@MakeLifeClick Ok You Got Echo 3rd Generation?
Alexa Will Say Motion At Your Ring Stick Up Cam Solar?
Yes. I have 3rd gen.
Alexa will say a limited name based on a list they offer at set up. Things like ‘patio’ ‘backyard’ etc. At this time you can’t custom name your devices which is a bit odd to me.
what an incredibly uninformative video. why dont you show how to connect solar panel to the camera
It just plugs in the back. I did show approximately where but it’s very straight forward.
