Trying to find the right home security camera these days can be overwhelming. It’s no longer just about 1080p vs. 720p, wide vs. narrow field of view; it’s now also about wired or wireless, app compatibility, remote operation, how it integrates into your existing smart home, and a ton of other features. Then, there's the installation. Some setups are so simple that they're genuinely a breeze - a "plug-and-play" dream come true. Others, however, seem to require an entire afternoon to figure out.
What you get
3rd Gen Ring Stick Up Cam Plug In
Ring Stick Up Cam Plug In is one of Ring’s most popular cameras and it’s been around for several years. While Ring’s battery powered cameras tend to be the most popular, there's often still a case for wanting a camera that has power 24/7. This version is the third generation model which uses a cord that connects to a standard wall plug and can be used both inside or out. It can also sit on a table or piece of furniture or be mounted to a wall, and a separate ceiling mountain kit is also available.
Ring does not appear to declare an IP rating for this camera, saying only it is “Weather Resistant”, and noting the maximum operating temperature are -5°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C). I've reviewed probably over a dozen ring devices over the years, and I can say that they're outdoor cameras are extremely durable. My previous Ring outdoor cameras are still going strong out in my yard after many years of harsh climate.
Pan Tilt Mount
The indoor-outdoor Pan Tilt Mount is a separate device that will connect with your ring stick up cam. The mount consists of an electronic base with a swivelling L-shaped bracket that the slides onto. Once it's connected to the camera it offers full 360° motion as well as 117° tilt. (*For video do this part on camera and control it).
I will say I am a bit surprised by that. Ring, through its partnership with Amazon is clearly using this technology in other places, so I'm a bit surprised to find Ring still has no dedicated motion tracking home security camera… That I'm aware of.
Video
1080 HD resolution cameras are table stakes when it comes to video quality, and that’s what you’re getting with this camera. It’s an excellent balance of clear image quality and efficient bandwidth usage, but identifying faces outdoors beyond about 5 feet away might be a little difficult because of the limited resolution.
Ring cameras use Advanced Motion Detection with Customizable Motion Zones to alert you to any motion within range of the camera. You can set your camera to alert you to any motion or just at certain times of day or certain types of motion. Plus, the camera has Color Night Vision to help you see better in all types of spaces.
Like I said my primary use was indoors for watching the dogs, and it was more than enough for me to keep an eye on them. I also found it useful to do things like check if the front door was locked, or if I left the stove on. It's quite handy having a moveable camera in the house since it can be the eyes you might not be able to have.humming sound as it is changing position, but it's barely perceptible.
Outdoor use
I did also move the camera outdoors and place it in the yard for a while to test its weather worthiness and ability to give me a more all encompassing view.
Can I use Ring Pan-Tilt Mount with Stick Up Cam Battery?
Ring Pan-Tilt Mount can only be powered with the Indoor/Outdoor or Indoor Power Adapter Barrel Plug and cannot be powered with the Quick Release Battery Pack or Solar Panel.

[@10OF9OFBORG]

Motion camera would be nice and I don’t want to subscribe for getting a previous videos to view. Thanks for showing this Erin. Have an awesome day! ☕️☕️

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for watching 😃😃😃

[@resigningstars]

I’ve been wondering about this tilt product, thanks Erin!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Happy to help!

[@jcm9698]

When Ring first came out, was a fan, but now, they are way behind the "competition" like Eufy and Tapo just to name two. No subscription fees, cameras with better image quality at a lower price and with color night vision - just can't be beat. Ring really needs to step up their game.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

I’ll look up Eufy and Tapo. Should try to review those.

[@hbahavar]

[@dianeperry3711]

Does anyone know if this will record if I put next to my third floor apt window to pointed it out to the parking lot? How far away will this record clearly? I have googled can’t find a clear answer. Thank you

[@oobenoob]

Pretty lady Erin.❤. Do you think there will be more new ring stuff this year?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Not sure yet. It’s been a while since they put out a lot of new stuff. I’m hoping for a swap to 4K in the next year.

[@positive647]

I have heard that hackers can get into your system. Have you heard any feedback with the ring system or experienced anyone hacking into your security system? Thank you.

[@oobenoob]

It can’t be done. It uses 2 step verification. However hackers/criminals CAN and DO use wifi blockers to prevent the cameras from uploading footage to the cloud.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

There were issues with that a few years back. I think they fixed them.

Set up two factor. Use a good password also.
