- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2018
- Remember the other week when Paul got on me for not installing the Ring security cameras quick enough? Well today I am showing you how to install three different cameras to upgrade the security around your home. These vary from hard wired to a simple plug in. Did I mention I installed, filmed and tested all three types of cameras in less than an hour? It’s that easy! Stay rad xx.

Ah I love that you showed how to install each one. So helpful! Love the end heeheehee ❤❤❤
Haha thanks Terry!
Your video was outstanding, I was considering getting a ring camera, but I didn't know which ones to get.
Thank you so much for clarifying....
Love this!! I have had my eye on the ring flood lights, but had no idea they have battery operated and plug in cameras as well! So dope, thank you 😁
Of course! I had no idea either but am so hyped.
Will come out on 3/6
Finally a video with a purpose and good info
Well thank you!
These are great. To be able to monitor kids and pets is fantastic. That last one is ridiculously easy to install. 👌😀
Right!? I'm totally in love. Hope you're well Ellie!
Thank you! We've been wanting to research these and possibly buy!
Yay! I love them all but honestly the wired ones are the way to go.
Thank you for showing us the masonry bit part because it is the problemS I have. Thanks.
Amazing! I'm trying to install a ring security camera. Where are your previous drilling in brick videos? I need help!
Thanks for the knowledge.
Amazing video!! Thank you so much x
These things are surprisingly good I install security cameras for a living and other than the issue of the cloud equipment is fairly good in the install is right around where a smart homeowner could do it
I agree!
Tip: make sure all of your cameras line next to the motion sensor is straight ,so it can Detect about 30ft or a bit more
Great video, thanks
Great review!
Thank you so much!
Your a life saver thank you!!
Your review convinced me to buy this product, 3 actually. Great job. As a dad of a 23 year old young lady I love seeing empowered women showing skills that are as good or better than the guys.
Thank you so much! My goal is to inspire women to not only decorate their homes but build them from the ground up and maintain them!
Simp…
HEY RAY , have 5 floodlight cams now u showed me something i missed by cauking around the seal never thought of that GREAT idea just had to replace camera because old seal never had the little opening at bottom of seal like they do now RING must of had a problem with that im gona go around and SEAL ALL NOW THANKS😁😁😁
Oh yay! So happy I could help xx.
You a real gangsta💪🏾❤️ by any means . Love it
How long does the battery actually last before charging is required?
Awesome video. I just bought a ring doorbell and i definitely going to get the side camera. How long does the battery last?
New to your channel love it.
Thank you! I am always a little hesitant putting product reviews out there.
Great video!! It’s really cool but sleek
Right!?
Wow, thx for the review! We’re looking into security cameras but haven’t decided on what just yet. Once again, no judging here...u we’re rocking the outfit! Your hubs sounds just like mine. Gotta love em! 😉
Thanks love! You're so sweet - yes we gotta love them!
Quick tip! if it rains alot where you guys live. Caulk the outside edge where the floodlight is mounted for extra protection from water. I didnt do that with some regular light fixtures on my driveway and there was a little gap and water got inside and rotted the wood.
So happy you have Ring!! Ring works best with GREAT WiFi. Don’t be fooled by the bad comments calling it garbage, it’s not. It’s WiFi.
Thanks for the love! I love my Ring xx.
Great video
Thank you Rudy!
Cute ring 👌
Love the channel
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great 👍 video 📹 😃
Thanks for the love xx.
You know what I like about this one. Is that I guess want to commercial before I get to watch the commercial. It's not rocket science. But I wonder how much help to really head behind scenes.
It's all about that DIY!
Both ring spotlight cam B and ring spotlight cam W are easy to install
Everyone doing an instructional video on TH-cam should watch you first. This was perfect.
Thanks!
Hi meam I am cctv technician I want to sels this cameras sels and srvis.
Ya..we are judging you and your attire and it's amazing. 😉
Haha thank you!
I talk to a ring consultant and they said that the solar panel wasn’t worth the money it’s better to just get two batteries but I would love to here your input on this as well
To be honest - I would just get the battery ones! I didn't use the solar nor did I know they had those so I just fell in in love with the ones I got!
Great video. Since you installed two different cameras, which do you find to be best? I’m debating between the two and/or getting both styles then deciding which would be best placed at the front of house and backyard area.
I love the wired because the battery one dies SO easy.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz: if you need to use batteries make sure you install two ring charged batteries and attach the solar panel and it’ll triple your battery life.
Nice I like that
Thank you love!
With ring can you go back and see video from the night before ?
I am having trouble getting the bulb into the mount
I have the battery operated spot light camera and it works best in a location that does not get a lot of traffic. Evertime the wind blows mine gets set off and drains the battery. I have had it working 5 days and am down to about 67% on the battery.
I've discovered that recently! It is quite annoying.
thank you - do you need to buy a Ring 'Bridge' to make them work?
Nope I did not!
Rachel have you thought about getting the solar panel that connects to the battery powered spotlight?
I just saw that they had solar powered! Definitely want to look into it.
2:41 the sign which says “do not switch off” is required when you have to take down the old floodlight
To not let someone switch it off, it should on always
When the old light has a switch to it
Every time, it should capture
4:39 It could have a a sticker which says “Do Not Unplug”
Getting a ring camera soon just for security reason. I heard ring cam are good
Yessir they are
Hi, thank you for posting really common sense video.
The second install the battery camera, do you know how often the battery needs to be charged. Are they sued for really cold climates.
Thank you.
I'm not sure how cold since I'm in Cali and the battery is annoying. You have to charge it all the time!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz: I’m in Phoenix. If you attach the Ring solar panel to the spotlight cam and use two batteries at a time like I did you can go quite some time without changing batteries.
Do you review other DIY security systems?
No this was my only one so far xx.
Nice video!
Thank you!
How much is this a month? And do they charge monthly per camera?
Are there any other camera floodlight fixtures that will sync with a ring doorbell
I'm not sure what products they have currently.
Hints: The hard wired security lights are designed to be mounted vertically, so if your existing security lights are mounted to a sofit (aka eves) horizontally, the light/ and or camera will not angle properly. I hired an electrician to mount a vertical wiring box to my exiting horizontal using a short right angle conduit, which was not cheap. Additionally, make sure you have a good wifi signal out to the area where devices will be mounted. Write down your Wifi ID and password and keep it handy. The last software setup involves pressing a button on top of your camera and then identifying your WiFi ID and putting in your password. The reason I mention this is that your security lights are likely to be 8 - 10 feet off the ground, so getting to this button is a ladder challenge. If you screw up the setup, you will have to repeat pushing the setup button again and repeat.
Thank you for this!
02:06 how cool is that? 😎
ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE FLOODLIGHT BEFORE TAKING THE OLD ONE OFF! 😂😂
❤️looks nice like always. I also need a video about how to install abs in my belly😫🤦🏽♂️.
Haha thank you Nathaniel!
These things are exceptionally good if you own a boat which of course we all know anything wired on the boat is difficult
That's so smart!
Is there any memory storage ? Or anything like that. Rewind video? Or the app stores every recording!?
Yes! It's all in the app based off the plan you choose xx.
hi! i'm planning on installing my ring security camera but not sure if i need to use the anchors that they give me. they say that you should if you're hanging it on stucco. isn't that what your wall is made of? why didn't you use anchors when you installed your spotlight cam? thanks!
I went and got stucco anchors!
What bulb replacements are needed when they go out? Specifically for the spotlight camera? Thanks!
They haven't gone out so I'm not sure yet!
Im pretty sure once the bulb goes out you have to get a new entire camera because the LED lights are soldered to the light
True, the whole unit gets replaced if the bulbs go out.
The sign that says “Do Not Switch Off prevents people turning off the Ring, it should always be on, or else the Ring won’t turn on lights or detect motion
just know the orange tool could be used for the two black screw
You need to add a dark brown color. I’d like to match my trim color.
That would be rad!
Vocal fry is killer
Thank you. =)
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
You're welcome. =)
Hope you're having a great week!
;) It is a pretty good week, yes, thank you. =) I hope you are too. =)
Did you put the plastic inserts? Then screwed it in?
Anchors? Yes!
Does the rechargeable one need to hook up to WiFi
Yes.
i have ring spotlight cam
How long does that battery last on one charge?
Depends on the frequency of motion you are wanting. More motion sensor - it'll die quick. I like the wire ones.
Do they offer a service where a live person can monitor the camera? Like if I am sleeping and someone snoops around my car at 4am in the morning, can someone talk to them through a mic asking to leave my property?
Oh I wish! No they don't.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Bummer. I bought Blink XT2 but I don't know if I would be able to hear my phone if someone tries to break into my car
By any chance do you know the area the food light covers (perferal vision )
Shit I don't know the exact measurements but we it lights up my entire side yard which is more than a half court basketball.
About 140 degree field of view
What about if electric or battery runs out or if someone bypasses the WiFi
Battery lets you know when you need to charge.
Great review & your very pretty & a hard worker
Thank you Andrew!
Seven muy bonitas pero en un año tienen que comprar un plan para seguir viendo sus videos para mi es tirar tu dinero mejor compra cámaras con grabación de movimiento no plans
The devices are.
Gazebo
Pool
Small garage
Should you switch off
Do you need to pay a monthly fee to see past videos?
It's insanely minimal and they save forever. I think mine is like $10 a month if that?
How did you mark the holes it’s hard for me on brick
I used a pencil!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz that don’t work for me
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Great video by the way and I only subscribe for Ring videos I enjoyed the setup and unboxing and once Ring comes out with they smart lighting Beams can you do a unboxing and setup video?
We have several ring cameras as well as security systems, i was using them in rental properties. The cameras work well most of the time, but they are not always dependable and you can no longer zoom in on the recorded events. I am in the process of returning all ring devices primarily because of the poor customer support.
Definitely a personal preference!
Feel free to ask me any question you want either email or in comments. Always here if I could help
Thank you Ron!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz No problem I’ve got almost 40 years in the security and video business good luck with your channel
Question do u need strong WIFI to run these cameras ?
So typically no but our house is in a weird area in the hills that we have to get extenders for everything.
How much is that
I can't remember off that top of my head!
Ring doorbell camera
Do they have interior cameras?
I'm not sure actually!
gingham blonde Yes. They called Ring's stick up cam.
I don't know if you realize this, as I think women our age don't think about this to this extent.... But this is a true video of female empowerment. Too many women, and this may be a judgement call that's incorrect on my end, but moreso older monogamous hetero. Women, do not feel comfortable doing stuff like this. Just by you doing what you do, even if it doesn't seem like anything grand, is actually a beautiful example of female empowerment.
Wow thank you!
ugh feminist
I’m curious does the plan include all of them, or do you have to pay for each individual camera? If you could answer this question for me I would really appreciate it. I’m a single woman, and one of my neighbors is using my house as a shopping center and I’m going broke. I’m on disability and a very strict budget. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on installing
There are so many different plans available! I would just call Ring and talk through what will work best for you.
Thank you
Right now, it is $3 a month for one camera and $3 for each additional camera. However for $10 a month, you can ave unlimited. These fees allow you to store your videos automatically to the Cloud, otherwise you only have live streaming view available. If you get the cloud services, you can review, download or delete old videos. You get a 30 day free trial for cloud services to see how it works and to see if you like it or not. Remember the account is location based, so that monthly fee will only cover one address. If you need to setup a second location, like a vacation home, you will have to make payments separately for that additional location.
$30 a year to cover one camera or all cameras at your house for $100 a year.
Does Paul do anything? Lol
YOU SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED TURN OFF POWER TO THE HOUSE BEFORE TOUCHING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK, THANK YOU.
I am pretty sure it was mentioned in the video approx 1 minute 40 seconds into video
Have to say you look pretty handy ... unless you were guided before you did the video..
I am very handy.
I’ll have white ring devices
I really like you😊
Poor guy
Need to find a woman like you
That's sweet xx.
Does all of them have two way audio?
That’s the first I said when I seen you mount the camera :O
Should of did a night review on them
Yes - I don't typically review tech. Last year was my first time with these types of partnerships. Learned a lot and wish I included. Lesson learned! Thank you for the feedback.
Bro you sound like Meg from Family Guy
Do not touch wires!!!
I'm too afraid of electricity to try this.
Then don't!
we arent judging your outfit...its sexy lol
No one it is better because if you not pay monthly fee not gonna work NO BUY THAT GARABAGE Pay for the camera pay for internet connection pay for electricity AND HAVE TO PAY FOR ICLOUD SERVICE WTF why they wanna get money from US. That’s why the RING CAMERA do not use SD CARD. You not allow to integrate RING to your own surveillance cameras iCloud is not free why have to pay just let’s me use my camera.
Thank you for this tip!
Get rid of those evil things
The comments are dogging for an online woman
Wowwwww
What do you mean?
Their WiFi range sucks
I was not judging you at all with your tank top and short
As you shouldn't since they're clothes.
