What do you think about the Ring security cameras? Are they something you can see integrating into our house? Comment below or get your own here --> amzn.to/3sIlzfy
*I like the pan and tilt feature. great **Newest.Technology** camera!*
Great video and right to the point. You answered all my questions with no filler..Thanks
Now that's how a review should be done.... So many are just completely annoying.. Nice job.
Excellent, you are the first to illustrate the mounting into siding.
I was reluctant to try installing the camera but now that watched your video I fill confident in doing so.
Installed very easy in the siding. Nothing to worry about at all. Glad I was able to help!
Where do you buy it
I have a 2 spotlight cam battery for sale only $250 with chime pro brand new from ring. If you only want one its for $150 .comment your email so that I can sell it to you
Great video. I just picked up 2 Ring in black spotlight camera's. Both are wired cameras. But I think I like the idea of having a battery one.
I love how it actually starts recording a few seconds before you are actually in the zone. Not sure how this happens but it’s awesome!
Hitman Hardy flood light does this also. And it’s awesome
I know this is an old comment it's called loop recording.
it's always recording and it triggers a "real" recording when the criteria is met (motion detection).
@@hollowedone Excellent and simple description... Similar to how Amazon Echo and other devices like them work. They have limited internal memory and if the audio or video isn't utilized (called for by the system) it is basically overwritten by new data every few (~7-12) seconds, depending on the device.

Great review. Thanks for the walk thru..put in real terms.
Great job on the video man. I like the two battery option. I was hesitant on buying one due to having to charge the battery. But now knowing they can last up to 6 months and you can use two definitely makes it more appealing. Thanks man
To continue to record (for a short time) during a power out you need to have your modem, router, and any wireless access points all on battery backup. Most cable and dsl services remain active during a localized power failure so as long as ALL you home network equipment is on UPS power you should be fine until the UPS runs out of battery power.
I love mine!!!!! Great video thanks for the additional info!!
How’s your battery ?
dropthe_bass 21 not bad. I purchased an extra one so it has one in there all the time. Pull and charge while the other one runs it.
Hi Robb,
Thanks for the review - Good job mate. Just one point of clarity please in case I misunderstood. You said that you chose the Ring battery spotlight because you didn't want to run cables etc. to the locations. I get that. However, you said that in case the power in the house went off then you were still recording. I don''t understand this part as surely you modem/router would also be off due to no power. Am I missing something?
Great video. I have the RING doorbell which works great and the RING Chime Pro extender (Booster) also. Do you know if the Ring Battery Spotlight Cam will work with the Extender that I already have or do I need to purchase an extender for the cams also? Thanks
Great review. Thanks!
Good review. I'm curious as to how you're going to have off-site recording in a blackout, if your Wi-Fi is going to go down when you have no power to the house.
Great explanation. Thank you. Your explanation is lot better than Ring.com. I don't know why they don't have this much clear videos on their website. Kudos to you. Thanks again.
Great video !! Thanks !!
Thanks for this. Had it narrowed down to a couple, but I think I am going with the Ring here. Also, love the accent wall with the reclaimed wood!
VideoGuy1001 thanks! I really love the wall. We made the shelves out of piping as well.
Thank you, Helped me make my decision on a security camera.
Excellent review and I listen to it twice. I have two concerns. 1. If there is something that the camera picks up, and you don’t want that video to be in the clouds, can you delete the video on your app and is it automatically deleted in the cloud? 2. The other claim was the battery lasting for six months. That’s a little bit of a stretch. If you choose a motion frequency at standard, the battery might last a little longer. And if you put it on light, it will last even longer. But I’m not sure of the difference between the two or three settings. The other setting was frequent, which they say will burn up the battery.
Overall it’s a good camera/detector and I’m looking forward to other reviews.
7:15 when your power goes off, your router goes off.
You got no recording.
Would be nice if a sd card could be added, THEN! you got real offline security.
Great review, thanks!
Im glad someone said this.
don't they have a 24-hr cellular back-up?
Buy a good UPS backup power supply specifically to plug your router. It will power your router for hours if there’s a power loss for any reason
1badhorsie yes I meant UPS I’ll edit thanks for the heads up
just install where its not reachable?
Hello I have a question can you use the door bell camera with this setup
@Rob Sutton, someone commented that with the Ring Battery Spotlight, the cam will only record 30 seconds of video before shutting down, is this true?
Excellent review. Thanks
Awesome work, thanks
Thanks for the information.
Nice review thank you. Buying the 2 pack after watching this. 😊
Still happy with them? Thinking of buying one.
@@westernalliance796 yeah very!! easy to set up and really pleased with them :)
@@ukmonk Thank you!! I'll buy it then
@@westernalliance796 no probs, hope you love it :)
Is there anyway to make the camera constantly record? Instead of just motion?
When you set the alerts how long the battery???
Great video very informative.
Thank you
Ive dropped and lost the tightening screw for the ball joint. Anyone have any idea what screw it is?
Good job!
Hi
Do you need to subscribe to the ''ring cloud'' to keep footage?
No SD card with this?
What happens of you don't subscribe to ring
Thanks so much
Worth every penny
Biggest negative I have noticed so far is unlike the Ring Doorbells the motion zone setup on the Spotligh does not display a live image while setting the distance. Because of this, its a bit of trial and error when adjusting the range fan if your camera is facing the street or sidewalk. Pretty stupid problem to have considering it was already an option in the first ring doorbell and setup was very quick.
Didn't know this did this dope video
Big thumbs up! Question, can you choose grid zones so your not getting constant alerts and a bazillion videos?
In the app you can adjust the motion detection zones. You can also set the light activation zones separately.
I bought a solar charger for mine. It works very well!
Hi: Some videos say the battery spotlight camera now have color night vision like the wired ones do too, but I called Ring and they said color night vision is still not available on the battery spotlight cam. Who is right??
grezt video easy to follow
Since ring actually launched on HSN you can get it lot cheaper they just had them on you could purchase the first one at 159 if you bought a second one at 149 so I would check out HSN
How long do you let the battery charge?
How long did batteries last after u used em for awhile
Hi it says battery life will last for 6-12months. Will it be the same if you use advance option like live view, motion settings, etc. My ring door bell battery only lasts for a month with option on which is bit annoying. Thanks
Very nice product.
I am still trying to put my ringer into the socket directions says it pops right in but it’s not popping for me! Help!
I like the wood accent wall behind you. did you do that on your own or pay someone? if so how much?
I did it myself. It is reclaimed pallet wood. And you get a notice in the app and an email when your batteries get low.
Great video. My only query is can you set the range for the motion detection or is that range pre set. Thanks
Yes in the app.
Great video dude! Helped me make a decision today. Off to Lowes to pick em up!
Great review. One question: do you have to get the recording option from ring? Or, is there a way to record it yourself?!
All recorded video will be save to ring cloud for 60 days. But you can download videos and save it to your personal server...
@@robjr.4763 I don’t agree. You need to pay the ring fees to save anything.
For night time recording, does the motion sensor turn on the spotlight and then record in color? thanks
Night time recording is only in black and white.
Decent video
Very Good
Hi, Love the video. I just purchased the Ring doorbell the only way to reset it is to take the cover off which has a security screw to prevent people from messing with it. My question is is there anything preventing people from just removing the battery from the Spotlight which would disable it?
Meaning is it just a simple as pushing the release button for the battery? No preventive locks or screws?
Remember you have the advantage to be able to talk to the person in from of the camera, if some one is messing with just talk to the person I am really sure will run out of your house.
Jason Ellison you can turn the siren on too.
Does the cam notify you that your battery needs to be replaced? How do you know the cam has switched from battery #1 to battery #2 and how do you know which battery to remove to charge? By the green and "orange" lights? Also when I first received ring spotlight cam it was ridiculously difficult to shut the lid to the batteries! I thought mine was broken. I should have listened closer to this video. You stated just that. So far it looks like a pretty good cam. Hope the wireless one works as good as the wired versions.
WARNING!!!!! Don’t wast your money on ring products, unless you are ready to pay for using them. Expensive and only good for the current moment.
What size drill bit.. Bro?
Never mind. It comes with the cam haha. Which is actually cool of the company to include in the pack.
I love my new ring spotlight camera. I got it right in my backyard it works really good I can turn on the lights even when I am in another state. To me ring is the best
Gonna get some,look good tick all the boxes

so does it sound its own alarm when triggered? disregard I saw you covered that in the clip
No the audible alarm is manually done. It does send you a notice when the camera is triggered.
i purchased 2 floodlight cameras with solar panels and the doorbell v2
One mis-leading issue is that if power goes out for your house, your wifi is out, so, there is no video being recorded onto the cloud/"off-site". It just is a motion light at that point. Therefore, you need to use a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) for our internet modem and router.
What is the max distant that can see a person face clearly?
Whoa! At the 7:20 mark you said if power goes down in the house it's still recording. How? Dosen't it need the "router" to send footage to the "cloud". Doesn't the router also go down if you lose power? What am I missing??
You have to have a battery backup on your router.
Looking to put one at our gate which is about 250 ft from house. . . .do you think this will work?
It works as long as you have a wifi connection that reaches.
thanks! if I put this in my store can I view from home?
Yes, as long as your store has WiFi. That is how all Ring devices work via WiFi connectivity. If your store does not have WiFi, don't get Ring.
R u from L.A bro?
How bright is the LEDs? Do they cover a large area?
If you need coverage for a large area, you may opt for the floodlight cam that has two floodlights. The flood light cam covers around 20' by 20' before the lighting tapers off.
5:23 is there no way to let it record 24hours?
Hello Rob! I'm very new to this new wireless security cameras. Great video on this particular wireless brand. I have a quick question on these cameras, do they have some kind of back up memory stored into them or are these just for viewing?
To store your videos, you would have to subscribe at either $30/year or $3/monthly.
Hi, great video
Can u turn
Security light of in the app ?
Yes you can.
good,,
Could I use a spot cam above my front door instead of ring doorbell?
That is what we do. I still might get the doorbell too though just for the doorbell features.
How far can you mount them from the wifi source.
As long as you have a good signal it will be fine. How far will depend on the router and your home.
How do I randomly check battery power level prior to "LOW BATTERY" notification in my Ring Stickup Battery model?
You can see the exact battery percentage in the app.
can multiple users have access to the same cameras? Like could my wife and I both access and view/control them?
Yes they can. We have multiple devices. You invite your wife's account and they can share.
Do you have to use cloud to store footage or can you save on its app
Cloud storage. It won’t save to your phone. I don’t know of any camera system that does that.
I see a gap in the market here I’m going back to school then college then university then I will have the know how and I will make one
I have owned one of these for 5 days installed and working. DO NOT BUY THE BATT VERSION. here's why. The batt version upon being activated by motion will record for 30secs then stop and have a motion cooling off period of 30 secs before motion will activate it again. This means no matter what's going on at your recorded location you will only ever get 30sec per full minute of time. You miss most of whatever is happening on screen and this is the worst idea for a camera ever. The engineers did this with batt life in mind so they could advertise a long life batt. The rec time settings cannot be changed in anyway. I have been talking to ring for 3 hours now and they said it is their most common complaint and reason for returns. The wired camera does not do this. It will rec 1min and immediately activate again with motion continuing on screen. Do not buy battery model. The company is replacing mine as we speak.
THANK YOU!!!!
Jamie Flynn change your settings🥳
Jason kozy you cannot change the settings from 30 sec max vid on battery version. Hence his message.
@@jasonkozy5344 not entirely Sure if you read the whole comment? Mate you can't. Read it again.
Thanks
Very informative. How do you secure the battery door from someone simply popping the camera door open and stealing the batteries?
Most of our cameras are out of reach unless you have a ladder. If they do try to steal the batteries...you have a great recording of their face as they do it.
Do I absolutely need to buy the subscription if I am using multiple cameras? I don't really need the extra features that the paid ones offer.
You need the subscription if you are going to review footage. If you are just going to watch live you do not need it.
How long the activity recordings are available for viewing ?
Thank you for the informative review
60 days if you purchase that option (annual subscription) whitch varies depending on how many Ring devices you have. I currently have 3 (Doorbell, Stickup cam & Floodlight cam) and it costs me $90/year
WARNING!!!!! Don’t wast your money on ring products, unless you are ready to pay for using them. Expensive and only good for the current moment.
Some users have reported 'choppy' video with the Ring battery powered cameras..have you had any of those issues? There was supposed to be firmware fix for this, not sure if it's out though and I've been holding off on purchasing one until I know for sure..Great review!
We have been having a lot of success with them. We even caught a deer pulling my wife's flower pots off the front porch! The video isn't shaky but sometimes it takes a second to get exposure dialed in as soon as it turns on from motion. That would be the same for any camera with auto exposure though.
Roger that, thanks...yeah the deer hit my bird feeder every morning around 0400..our nest cam doesn't always hit on the motion, but scrolling through I can see it. Appreciate the fast reply...looks like I will be buying one and giving it a whirl.

B&H Camera has them for $149 right now :)
You stated there are [other brands] out there that are like the Ring Spotlight. Please DO tell the names of these other brands. I have 3 Nest cams, and a Nest Thermostats and I want to stay with Nest. I'm hoping Nest will come out with a comparable 'Battery Operated' products to compete with.
NEST is the LIBERAL CO. , STAY AWAY FROM NEST THEIR LETTING HACKERS SPY IN ON PEOPLE THEY WONT RRCOGNIZE THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM
how water proof is this?
I wanted to get the Ring Spotlight cam, but my HOA won't let me put it up unless it matches the color or my house, which is neither black nor white.
Paint the cover then. I did that with an ourside Genie remote for the garage and it blends. Also, I would double check HOA guidelines; i.e. legal stuff. I'm not so sure they could stop you from doing something security rated. It's just like when HOAs tried to tell people they couldn't use a dish instead of cable---illegal. Or you can't fly your American Flag. There are a lot of things HOAs try but are not in the know.
How can I stop it recording when the lawn mower goes by multiple times or being outside for a picnic in the back yard and going in and out of service door of garage..Have a terrible time with ring door bell and running the lawn mowers or someone working outside..
The app has a motion snooze function lasting up to 4 hrs. You can also set the snooze to a weekly schedule.
Can it be used in a bright room with the spotlight disabled?
Yes it can.
420Conglomerate couldnt find the stickup cam on their site at that time
@420 Friendly , the new stickup cam that is runs on batteries just came out ( December, 2018)
I was woke up at 3 am to someone pounding on my back door which scared me big time. Been contemplating getting the ring battery spotlight cam but naturally was hesitant. After watching your video, I feel like I can handle this project by myself, I hope. Someone said that there are several subscriptions that you can get.... 1 is for $3 a month and other is $10 a month... can you explain the difference please. One other question.... can these be attacked to trees for a wider few?
10 a month is unlimited cameras and/or security system. 3 a month is for one camera.
Yes 10 per month is unlimited. You can put them anywhere you can put 3 screws in.
WARNING!!!!! Don’t wast your money on ring products, unless you are ready to pay for using them. Expensive and only good for the current moment.
Does it notify you when your battery is running low?
Yes it does. You get a notification in the app and it will send you an email if you choose.
ohh 1 more thing. Does it notify you when battery gets low??
Gregory Mitchell yes
Are there non-subscription options?
Yes but you wont get video captured in the cloud
Interesting!
Are the water resistant
Yes.
Can the light be set to go on at dusk to dawn ?
No, but with the motion detection function, the cam's floodlight will turn on if the cam detects movement. Plus it has IR so even without the floods on, a clear video is captured. If you are looking for stronger lighting, I recommend getting the Floodlight Cam
Does it record still in live mode
I had to download the video and do a screen capture to get a still.
How long did it take you to charge the battery initially
I didn't time it exactly but plan on a couple of hours.
Help! I got the spotlight camera because I wanted the spotlight to come on with motion at night as a deterrent to crime. However, I have determined that with a dim 60W porch light and the camera in a corner under that light, the spotlight does not come on! It will only come on if completely dark with porchlight off. This seems silly. The camera knows what time of day it is so should know the porch light is "artificial" and not daytime light. Ring thought at first the spotlight should definitely come on in any circumstance as long as light set to ON with motion at night but then said it will not come on if you have a porch light. I can't believe this can be true and if so, that there is not some workaround. Hope someone can help.
I wished you had included a little info about the solar panel sold by Ring specifically for this camera. Nice video though. Thank you.
I really need to test that out. There are certain places I have the cameras where it wouldn't work all that well because they are covered under decks. The open ones to the sunlight would be great.
@@robb.sutton Thank You!
I like them but need to get their plan which let’s watch your recording not to cheap but worth it if not can’t playback
