I added a plug to mine, battery drained too quickly, I may have alerts/motions too sensitive but someone stole my Christmas decorations two years ago so I stay on the ready! I had solar panel however my location wasn't optimal for good sun exposure the plug is obvious, but doesn't bother me, if someone wants to steal my camera they will have to fumble with it for a bit...I'm completely satisfied!
How do u add plug to it. Id love to do this w mine as well bc i have it high up, and its pain to change batteries. I use it to watch my elderly handicapped mom who falls a lot and she can talk to me on it.

Thank you for the video! Very well done. I used it for the entire set up; I really appreciate you explaining how to view yourself and the surroundings on your phone prior to installing them. Thanks!
Good info. I recently bought one and it was pretty easy to get it working. I purchased a 26 foot charging cable that stays plugged into the unit so no need to keep pulling the battery out. I live in Canada so cold temps in winter might drain the battery. For the price it's good.
Where do you plug it in to keep it charging? I have one for watching my mom whos handicapped and falls a lot and its the only way she can talk to me, but I can see an outside charging plug anywhere. Im so bumbed.
@@jese2222able If it is a battery powered Ring cam there is a port on the rear of the unit located at the top. There is a plastic plug covering it. Just remove it and plug the charge cord in. I think the battery must be charged first but the charge cord will keep it fully charged after that if its kept plugged in.
Link devices is useful to catch someone running in. If someone is fast enough say around a corner, the camera WILL NOT catch them due to a slight delay. You can have camera 2 turn on when camera 1 gets triggered. That way you have a way better chance of catching someone running in a driveway. Adding solar lights to the setup greatly made everything more effective. (Brother had a bunch of low life's trying to sneak in at all hours)
Thank you for the best video I have seen on these Ring cameras. I appreciate the thorough, detailed and comprehensive instructions. Saving to my Favorite playlist to refer back to. Terrific help to a prospective buyer.
Roommate got the ring 2 about a year ago it's great the charge lasts forever it's not perfect but 🤷 early morning gets foggy etc the night vision gets covered but day time it's very clear for being 1080
Great video. I just find it interesting that you make every statement literally sound like a question. Performing instead of just simply giving information. You did such a great job?
Well done and well put together review! How reliable and/or accurate is the motion detection (especially when set it to human detection) so far? Thanks for sharing your review.
Great video! I didn't really know what security cameras to buy a few years ago so I ended up getting one of the ones they were selling at Costco. They weren't wireless, so I did have to wire them back to a central box (a bit of a pain), and the mobile app for them isn't particularly great. I might look into the Ring cameras if and when I decide to upgrade.
True, but the video quality on those are much better than Ring and you don't have to pay the monthly fee. Costco 4k or 8k series are top notch quality compared to Ring.
Great video. Thanks for sharing it. Set up my three cam's with ease after watching this. The app is great. Did not realise I would need a monthly subscription, then again cloud storage is not free, so happy to pay it for now.
We had a 115 degree yesterday. Today the video was terrible. I got some motion detection today but the camera froze or showed a black screen. My RSSI number was 54 and green status. I’m returning them today. So disappointed, they were doing great.
Honestly just depends. You could get about 2-3 weeks before having to charge it. it’s best to set your detection zones and block off the road so the camera won’t detect cars driving by. It would definitely increase your battery life. you could set it for the sidewalk and up by your house only. And block out all the cars
I'm still using the original batteries that came with the cameras and my camera that gets the most activations every day (between 10 and 20 a day) usually lasts around 6 weeks between charges. Our other cameras that get fewer activations last 2 to 3 months between charges.
is there a "person" detection setting on the cameras? I would much rather have it record/alert when a person is walking by rather than general motion (car/truck/etc.)
Awesome 👌🏽 review... 2 questions: Do the screws screws go into to wood without using the anchors❓️Do I have to use the anchors for drywall and with what size drill bit to use for predrilling for anchors❓️
If your screwing straight in to wood then you don't need to use the wall anchors. They're for if you're mounting to brick or stucco and of course drywall if you're using them inside.
Great video! A biggest deciding factor for me is the subscription plan. Right now, my cameras (not from Ring) alert me and send me clip of the video they took free of charge. Such alerts only happen once in two months, so a cloud subscription for a 10-second recording is not worth it. Does Ring offer alternatives, like local recording with a USB stick?
Im thinking of getting one of these, i currently have a blink outdoor camera above my garage door, and it cant even see a car’s LP clear when it pulls in the driveway…
Yes you can. My neighbor got three of them and gave me one. You create an account with your own address and WiFi, they’re not connected in any way. If you’re thinking of installing one at your father’s house to monitor, I’m not sure how to do that since the phone and camera need to be on the same network.
Ring is a subscription service. The videos are stored in the cloud, and in order to view past recordings, you have to subscribe to one of their plans, of which I believe there are 3 to choose from. The least expensive is for one camera only, which works good for people who only use a doorbell cam. The 2nd is for many cameras, which is the plan I subscribe to (it costs around $100 a year), and I don't think there's a limit to how many cameras you can have on it. The last option is if you use their security system service and it's the most expensive. If you don't subscribe to a plan, you can only view your camera(s) live. You don't have access to past event recordings. Here's a link to the different plans if you'd like to look at them. ring.com/plans
The camera we have that gets the most activity each day catches between 10 and 20 motion events each day and the battery typically lasts about 6 weeks. We have 4 stick up cams in total and we ended up buying 2 extra batteries, so when one dies we can swap in one of the extras and charge the dead one. We usually never have to change more than the two batteries at a time because each camera gets different amounts of activity and most of them last 8 or 12 weeks.
@@Maraksot78 So you don't use a solar panel?. I bought a spotlight camp plus and Im putting it together today. But I also have a solor panel. (Larger one, Second generation) And I ordered an extra battery that's coming tomorrow. I'm hoping I never have to charge the battery, but it's cloudy in New York pretty regularly.. Sometimes we go away for 2 months in an RV.
turns out these do not detect motion thorugh windows due to the type of motion sensor in this version. I guess I will be returning mine. THey could have stated that on the sale page.
You should also make clear that these can only do a live cctv uninterrupted watch/view for 10-15 minutes. After this it will just switch back into non view until activated on phone controls or parameter movement activation. For the same price or cheaper a person is better off getting a normal good quality cctv cam and dvr at least there will be 24hour uninterrupted view rather than just 10-15 mins
True, but the average person may not be savvy enough to install the wiring needed for CCTV and if you pay someone, there goes any savings. You also have plenty of renters who can't drill in, etc. CCTV is the best, but not always practical for most folks.
It all depends on how often the camera is activated and recording stuff. Whit the way I have them set up right now, the battery lasts anywhere from 2 to 3 months.
Question- we got these for indoor - and sometimes my dad talks to me thru the 2 way audio but the volume is low is there a way to make the volume louder. Thanks !
I have all mine under the eves of my roof so they aren't directly exposed to weather but these cameras are sealed up really well. There's a rubber o-ring around the battery compartment that seals out any moisture from getting in so they should be highly water resistant. Even the little security screw to lock the battery door has a little o-ring to prevent water coming in that way.
I have one exposed to the weather and sprinkler--aside from temporary image distortion due to water on the lens, works fine, Dries quickly. I did find a rubbery, tight fitting birdhouse looking cover online. Had to slit the back to get it to slide on. My purpose was more to camouflage the Cam. Two more Cams on the back deck get the rain, no sprinkler, no cover, no problem.
No. Ring has 3 different plans, Basic, Plus and Pro. Well 4 of you count not paying for a plan at all. If you don't pay for a plan you only get to view your camera live. It will give you live notifications but you can't go back and see any recordings, only live. Basic is the cheapest and is for just one camera and unlike the free plan, you can go back and view recordings. Ring saves them for 180 days. Plus, supports multiple cameras at a single location (i.e. your home) as well as an alarm system and like the basic plan you can view recorded events for up to 180 days. Pro, I don't know a lot about because we subscibe to Plus but it sounds like it's the same as plus but adds alarm monitoring so it's more like an actual security sytem service. Here's a link to Rings site where you can compare the different plans. ring.com/protect-plans
My furthest camera is 40-ish feet away from my router and the signal has to travel through several walls as well. Everything started out fine but after awhile I found it was a little too far away. It worked most of the time but there were sometimes the camera would lose connection to the network and I would have to go outside, take it down off the house, open it up, reboot it and reconnect it. I recently upgraded my router though and set up a mesh system to get better signal at all my cameras and things work great now. Knock on wood. XD ha ha ha
I have been looking everywhere but cannot find an explanation of what home and away settings are. I don’t want the camera on all the time we are at home, but this does not seem to be achievable
They are modes you can assign to your cameras. For example, for the 'Home' setting, I have only the outdoor cameras send me an alert, if they see any motion. For the 'Away' mode, I have both the indoor and outdoor cameras send alerts. Hope this helps, if you're still looking for an answer.
Ring is a cloud based service, so all the videos are saved to Ring's servers. You can download them though of course. Ring does require you pay for one of their Protect plans however to be able to save and view saved videos. If you don't subscribe to one of their plans you can only view the live feed.
Ring is a cloud based service. In order to "store" your videos you have to subscribe to one of their Ring Protect plans. Since it is a cloud based service any video that is recorded is saved to Rings servers, which is why you need an internet connection for these cameras to work. You log into the Ring Website on your PC or go to the video you want to keep in the Ring app on your phone or tablet and you can download them to your device there. Past videos are saved in the cloud for 60 days. If there's some in particular you want to keep beyond that you'll need to download them.
can you please tell me if you need a dvr / nvr for those cameras? Are they recording somewhere or is it just live streaming without recording? Thank you!
Ring is a cloud service, so no NVR/local recordings. All recordings are saved to your account on Ring's servers. This is not free however. You do need to subscribe to one of Ring's Protect plans in order to save and view recordings. If you do not subscribe then you'll only be able to view live footage. You do get live notifications for free, but if you miss the event and aren't subscribed to one of their plans then you can go back and see it.
@@Maraksot78 thank you very much for the kind reply! To see the live recordings, I assume a smartphone (such an iphone) would prove sufficient? No need for the extra device, right? On the phone you may also check the “ring” doorbell if i am not wrong. All together on the smartphone.
@gsxr605 Yes, you are correct. The mobile Ring app is actually better/has more options than their web interface. As you add cameras/doorbells to your account you can view any of them live, or watch recordings, at any time from the app or Ring website... as long as you have an internet connection of course.
I cant seem to find why the volume that comes out of both of my cameras is so low. The siren is super low and so is my voice when i’m trying to talk thru the camera.
They're good in my opinion. They usually catch people shortly after they enter the motion zone and record until the motion stops. But you can change a setting to make it record for a set amount of time rather than stopping when motion stops. They're not as good as our Ring Pro 2 doorbell which has a 6 second pre-roll feature and gets everything beginning to end. But the Ring Pro 2 doorbell also costs over $150 more than a Stick Up Cam. Thanks for checking out the video and for the question. :)

In an area with lots of traffic as in cars and people. Maybe 50 cars per day and 30 people, how long would the battery last?

It worked most of the time but there were sometimes the camera would lose connection to the network and I would have to go outside, take it down off the house, open it up, reboot it and reconnect it. I recently upgraded my router though and set up a mesh system to get better signal at all my cameras and things work great now. Knock on wood. XD ha ha ha
@@Maraksot78 thank you I will take that into account for my installation
I am going to purchase a 3 pack next week I just want to be sure was it worth the money does it have motion sensor
yup
Might have to put one in the woods so I don’t get up early for nothing during deer season
I have been looking everywhere but cannot find an explanation of what home and away settings are. I don’t want the camera on all the time we are at home, but this does not seem to be achievable
They are modes you can assign to your cameras. For example, for the 'Home' setting, I have only the outdoor cameras send me an alert, if they see any motion. For the 'Away' mode, I have both the indoor and outdoor cameras send alerts. Hope this helps, if you're still looking for an answer.
Great Video!! Does the video get saved to your phone or to a ring server? Does ring charge a monthly fee for your three cameras? Thanks again.
Ring is a cloud based service, so all the videos are saved to Ring's servers. You can download them though of course. Ring does require you pay for one of their Protect plans however to be able to save and view saved videos. If you don't subscribe to one of their plans you can only view the live feed.
So is this like a subscription type security? The plan that is. PS. great tutorial 😇 Thank you
Where the video is stored? How far back can I look at the older video?
Ring is a cloud based service. In order to "store" your videos you have to subscribe to one of their Ring Protect plans. Since it is a cloud based service any video that is recorded is saved to Rings servers, which is why you need an internet connection for these cameras to work. You log into the Ring Website on your PC or go to the video you want to keep in the Ring app on your phone or tablet and you can download them to your device there. Past videos are saved in the cloud for 60 days. If there's some in particular you want to keep beyond that you'll need to download them.
can you please tell me if you need a dvr / nvr for those cameras? Are they recording somewhere or is it just live streaming without recording? Thank you!
Ring is a cloud service, so no NVR/local recordings. All recordings are saved to your account on Ring's servers. This is not free however. You do need to subscribe to one of Ring's Protect plans in order to save and view recordings. If you do not subscribe then you'll only be able to view live footage. You do get live notifications for free, but if you miss the event and aren't subscribed to one of their plans then you can go back and see it.
@@Maraksot78 thank you very much for the kind reply! To see the live recordings, I assume a smartphone (such an iphone) would prove sufficient? No need for the extra device, right? On the phone you may also check the “ring” doorbell if i am not wrong. All together on the smartphone.
@gsxr605 Yes, you are correct. The mobile Ring app is actually better/has more options than their web interface. As you add cameras/doorbells to your account you can view any of them live, or watch recordings, at any time from the app or Ring website... as long as you have an internet connection of course.
I cant seem to find why the volume that comes out of both of my cameras is so low. The siren is super low and so is my voice when i’m trying to talk thru the camera.
I can't get the cover off to charge it. And I have 3 of these. I'm so upset right now
What size is that masonry drill bit? I ordered one camera and need to mount it on brick so will need to drill it. Thx!
I don't know what size it is exactly but my recommendation would be to get whatever diameter you need for the wall anchors you'll be using.
Had a stick up battery cam for years, batteries go dead weekly, piece of junk, the 2 wired ring camera's work great.
this camera is without radial lens distortion?
How is the notifications in other words when it picks up somebody does it show them early or after they passed by LOL
They're good in my opinion. They usually catch people shortly after they enter the motion zone and record until the motion stops. But you can change a setting to make it record for a set amount of time rather than stopping when motion stops. They're not as good as our Ring Pro 2 doorbell which has a 6 second pre-roll feature and gets everything beginning to end. But the Ring Pro 2 doorbell also costs over $150 more than a Stick Up Cam. Thanks for checking out the video and for the question. :)
Once the camera picks up motion the app will show you 15 seconds before the motion and then 15 seconds AFTER the motion
