That was the EXACT review that I needed since I am trying to decide which to buy. I don't know why RING won't post this information on their website?!? They should at least put a link in their "support" and/or "community" sections to YOUR review. CONGRATS and THANKS!!
Once again, you killed it. You’re video reviews are by far the most informative as far as product description, physical and visual explanation, and I really love the fact that you speak very detailed and in paced, unlike other tech reviews they speak way too fast and most of the time miss the smallest important detail because of the speed rate of their speeches. I finally subscribed to your channel because all your reviews are so clear and very descriptive down to detail. You should do the comparison reviews of the RING INDOOR CAM(wired) vs RING STICK UP CAM(wired) !
Awesome Video! Helped eliminate a lot of confusion with the Wired, PoE, and the Battery version of the Ring Stick Up Cameras. Thanks so much and keep em coming. 😊
As always, a great review. It would also be great if the all cam sirens went off at the same time of the main alarm system siren. The more noise, the better. Thanks for you wonderful reviews!
100 % agree with the need for Ring to create a privacy mode, this is the only factor that's stopping me from adding this to my back yard, As we speak I am in the market for a camera in the patio but I am very hesitant with Ring for this issue only.
All these months in use, may I ask for your feedback on each model? I have a wired SU-cam facing one way in my yard with the power cord awkwardly visible and I need another SU-cam at the other end of the yard. I’d like them both to be without the power cords. Mi wi-if can handle it.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Simple comparisons and methods of sharing, like using the cones for motion detection really set this aside. The dfifferences are not actually shared by Ring and therefore their online manuals/descriptions are quite misleading from previous experience. So much so that when I challenged them they sent me a wired version as the wireless wasn't up to scratch. Keep up the great work Thanks again.
Great review. Thank you. The battery version seems to have better quality video and audio which seems surprising, I would have expected the wired version to be better.
I hope you’ll release a review of a comparison between the 3rd generation (newest) and the 2nd generation seen in this video. I have read so many negatives about the current, 3rd generation. Congratulations on doing such a thorough review in this video👍
Very good & thorough video. I wonder if Ring has the ability to wire directly into outdoor light that sits next to the front door? It seems like a heck of a lot of extra wire if electricity is close-by. I’m no expert but I wonder if they have a unit with integrated outdoor light?
Something I can’t quite figure out. I have an assortment of stick up & wired cams throughout the house inside and out and I used to run a stick up battery cam in my basement hallway and it was far enough back to also catch my Home Theater room, it worked flawlessly. Then I moved the stick up cam from the basement to outside driveway and added a Wired cam to the basement hallway and since day one if watching my tv in the dark it reeks havoc on the cams IR and it’s constantly switching on & off. The clicking is so annoying that I have to go into the app and disable IR and re-enable afterwards every time. My stick up cam battery never had this issue once.
Thanks for the reviews. I bought a second riing camera. Could you tell me how set up the new camera and how to link the new camera with thevold camera? Thank you
How do you plug the hole you cut in your vinyl after your done with these? I guess I’m asking because I’m nervous about cutting holes in to run wires in the attic to mount outside
Great review mate! In Europe "Ring Stick Up Cam" you reviewed, comes under "Ring Stick Up Cam Elite HD" which comes at a price more than double than the "Ring Stick Up Cam" here.
Hackster , i have a spare indoor cam , and was wondering , would a solar panel help power that one up ? was thinking of using it in a specific area where it gets tons of sun
Fantastic video packed with very helpful information. Thank you. Question...am I correct in assuming that every time motion is encountered then a notification will be sent? What if I only want to be notified from 11PM to 7AM? In other words, is there a way to set a period of time for sending notifications based on motion? Thanks again!
This is an older video and with the older models of the stickup cams (2nd Gen). The 3rd Gen now has a battery and wired power options..so you can set it up wired and add a battery for backup.. But, remember, your WIFI (router) also needs to have a backup power for the Ring Stickup cam to record to the cloud when the power is out.
Well done! We have a wired RING doorbell and our home is prewired for POE but I don't think the POE in energized but at least they all lead to one control box. Do I have to have a RING poe power injector for each camera if I go that route?
You should be compensated for all this work. I just purchased the Stick up Cam/Battery for $99 at Best Buy. I was going to place it inside by a window facing my front porch. Besides losing the ability for two way conversation, and usefulness of the siren, is it also true that it will not detect motion through the glass?
I understand it will record if the alarm goes all but Will the cam motion detection set off the ring alarm if you opt out of their motion detectors unit or just sends a alert to your phone
Great Video! I have a question. I am planning to go out town for two weeks, and wanted to get this camera. Do you get alerts on your phone when camera detects motion?
Have you done a comparison on the newer 2021 stick up cameras. I'm wondering if there is any wifi signal strength differences between the 2 cameras. Also will you be looking at their newer birds eye system and any differences with the new radar motion detection to the other motion detection system and other improvements with this camera system?
One of the best I’ve seen, so much so I’m going to go with the battery option as I was going to go with ADT but now seeing this I’m cancelling the ADT as that was £280 install plus another £35 a month, yes that had an alarm with it but with ring cameras I’m thinking cameras will be sufficient..
Did anyone buy the wired ring camera, how did it work out for you? Thinking of buying the ring security kit and the wired camera as a starting point for home security.
If you buy a 'back up' battery for the wired cam, will the AC power supply charge the battery, or do you still have to buy a charger and periodically remove and charge the battery?
As you mention that there is no major benefits of the POE to WiFi connection, I think there may be a Big advantage to having a POE wired connection. One, the connection is constant and no lost of signal unless of course your router/modem or electricity goes off line. The second is that whenever you happen to change your router password for security reasons, I imagine this updated password would be done automatically w/o having to physically take down your wired stick up camera to depress the orange set up button to change password. Please comment if this differs. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to testing and providing positive & negative feedback on the latest security cameras on the market.
Do you know if these cameras would work well pointing through a window? Say if I wanted to set it up inside on a window sill and point out to my front yard?
You mentioned WiFi xtender. If I want a camera setup on corner of Home Outside. I would have to have xtender? WiFi will not be picked up on the corner of home outside?
Looking at the battery powered stick up cam as distance to ideal camera location for my needs is at least 50 feet from router. Will I need a wifi extender at this distance? Also can I place camera inside a window facing outside? I know the eithernet cable powered version would be best but quite a job in my house. Many thanks, your videos are the best!!!
NIGHT VISION will eat up your battery power big time. That is why the wired or POE is preferred for monitoring. Very good review! This is August 2020 and I got the 2nd generation camera (outdoor, wired) for $77.
So is this second generation camera?I bought the one where the mic/siren part is white (as opposed as black like in this video) and I'm not sure whether it's 3rd gen because it doesn't say it anywhere on the box... I need the 3 second pre-motion recording.
Yes the wired one here is the video is the older version..if your stick up cam has battery or a battery slot at the bottom, then you have the latest version and it doesn’t have the 3 sec. prerecording.
Does the wired version have the same 3 second buffer memory so when motion is detected it adds the previous 3 seconds to the footage? I noticed my Ring Doorbell Pro does this which is very useful.
Thank you!!! I called Ring on numerous occasions and they all denied this important positive feature. I just bought one and indeed you’re right as I suspected it has that awesome 3 second pre-motion buffer.
Hi, I have a battery powered stick up however it gives me the option to set up wired mode since I have a panel installed on it. Any recommendations on what to use outdoor ?
Good review! I was about to purchase the battery but after watching your review, noticed some important features....wired has wider fov and Poe option. One feature notable between the two... no snapshot capture on battery where this feature enabled with the wired version (ring assist plus needed however).
Hi thanks for the answer to my question 1 more question please can the stick up wired cam be used indoors but pointed through the window outdoors efficiently cheers
I’ve tested mind pointing out the window and the view is great and the motion detection works fine. However..the night vision with the red LEDs is useless because the glass reflects the glow of the red lights. You have to disable them and use just ordinary night vision which is of pretty poor quality.

Just got finished Installing the Ring Stickup Battery.
Love it !
I know this is 2 years old but your info that PoE gains nothing over wifi was very important for me. Saved me from drilling a hole in my house!
Thanks to your review I’m getting the wired version. Your review was great. Thank you
You are welcome.
Great video, my number 1 source for security cam information
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Question, why does my ring stick up cam wired version that I bought look different than yours? And there is no color night vision switch on mine 🤔
This video is 2 years old maybe they updated the look
Your videos are brilliant. I have now clicked the bell icon, so that I'll receive your updates. I bought both the battery & wired stick up cams.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Same here. I will keep both though - the battery one will be placed where there's no nearby socket.

Thanks.
Thank you, this was very helpful in my decision making. I just subscribed.😊
amazing video. Super detailed and all the right information. Thanks!
Another brilliant video. Thank you!!!
You are welcome.
The link between the cameras and the alarm is now active. I set it up today under the device section.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.
Can i keep a wire stuck to the battery version so that I never have to worry about its power ?
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
You are welcome.

This is absolutely brilliant Thanks :)
THANKS for the thorough review. 🌟
I have one Question, when you have Ring protect subscription 10$ a month, and when you add a new ring camera or doorbell does it make it to 20$?
No..it will be for unlimited ring cameras in one address and if you have the Ring Alarm, it will include the professional monitoring.
Thank you for this video you help me understand things I did not know like "POE" keep the good work up I can't wait too get my own system.
You are welcome.
How do you plug the hole you cut in your vinyl after your done with these? I guess I’m asking because I’m nervous about cutting holes in to run wires in the attic to mount outside

Thank you and thanks for the info..
11:12 that high pitch siren
11:18 floodlight cam and spotlight siren
could these do with updating as im told the features have changed plus theres a Lot of competition out there now
Thanks for the comparison. This helps me a lot.
You are welcome.
Hackster , i have a spare indoor cam , and was wondering , would a solar panel help power that one up ? was thinking of using it in a specific area where it gets tons of sun
Unfortunately, no. The indoor cam can only be powered by plugging it in.

I am keen to know this too
Yes you can..in the motion settings..
Is there a battery backup in the wired version? Does the wired verson have the ability to switch to battery and record when the electric goes down?
This is an older video and with the older models of the stickup cams (2nd Gen). The 3rd Gen now has a battery and wired power options..so you can set it up wired and add a battery for backup.. But, remember, your WIFI (router) also needs to have a backup power for the Ring Stickup cam to record to the cloud when the power is out.

For the wired one. Does hooking up the Ethernet cable means better connecting signal than just WiFi connect ?
Yes it does but the quality is the same.
Excellent video - thank you!
Great Job explaining, glad I found this review . Thank You
Well done! We have a wired RING doorbell and our home is prewired for POE but I don't think the POE in energized but at least they all lead to one control box. Do I have to have a RING poe power injector for each camera if I go that route?
Yes.. or you can get a PoE switch.

Great review as I decide which I want to get.
Good review but why not use the stopwatch to check reaction times? Using the clock is guesswork.
Thanks for this very informative review
You are welcome.
You answered my question I had. Turning camera on/off when alarm it's armed and disarmed
Yes, that feature is coming.
Any chance you can do a video test between the wired stick up cam and the ring doorbell 2 I’m considering both options thanks
They will have around the same video quality.
Does the POE not act like a wired version of the camera? So the added 3 seconds and additional motion controls? Thanks
I understand it will record if the alarm goes all but Will the cam motion detection set off the ring alarm if you opt out of their motion detectors unit or just sends a alert to your phone

thanks for making clear differences
Does the wired version has the possibility to insert battery? I think I saw someone talk about that. thank you
With the 3rd gen which they are currently selling right now, you can.
