Ring Stick Up Cam Battery White

Overall the product design is nice and the image quality is acceptable, however the associated app results in this camera being basically unusable except for certain cases. Specifically there is a problem with defining areas within the cameras view to trigger motion alerts. Only the center of the cameras view could be used to define motion alerts. We purchased the camera to cover a driveway leading up to our garage and a walkway leading to the front door. Both areas of interest were well within the cameras view, but not directly centered. Thus the camera wouldn't pick up movement on either the driveway or the path.We contacted Ring support and were first given a nonsensical answer saying that if we just provided more power to the unit then it would work.

Thus the camera wouldn't pick up movement on either the driveway or the path.We contacted Ring support and were first given a nonsensical answer saying that if we just provided more power to the unit then it would work. The camera is supposed to be battery powered and wirelessly connected to our wifi network so needing to run a power cable to the camera defeated the purpose. We contacted Ring a second time and finally learn that they were aware of the issue but currently did not have plans to fix the software issue. We returned the Ring camera and bought a Blink camera system and had NONE of the problems we had with Ring.So if your area of interest is in the center of the camera's view this product will likely work fine for you. However, if you too have a little bit of an odd angled space you are trying to view this will not work well.

This product can not be mounted upside down. however quality and design are very good. the way this device hardware is gets it a bonus star but the other drawbacks make it so that i cant give this more than a 2/5.Ring in its essence is a company that requires you to pay for a service that you can use for free with so many competitors. the door bell camera was great, however as i expanded into the other ring items, i realized their way of doing things is awful and expensive in the long run. I will NOT be renewing my subscription with them going forward and will be looking to liquidate all the hardware i have.the first major issue is the cost of the membership to simply use the service. they have bundled a million little things together which in theory work great ... MoreThis product can not be mounted upside down. however quality and design are very good. the way this device hardware is gets it a bonus star but the other drawbacks make it so that i cant give this more than a 2/5.Ring in its essence is a company that requires you to pay for a service that you can use for free with so many competitors. the door bell camera was great, however as i expanded into the other ring items, i realized their way of doing things is awful and expensive in the long run. I will NOT be renewing my subscription with them going forward and will be looking to liquidate all the hardware i have.the first major issue is the cost of the membership to simply use the service. they have bundled a million little things together which in theory work great if you have their base station, alarm, door sensors, motion sensors, cameras, etc. but if you want to just have a camera system then this is NOT the item you want to be looking at. there is a lot of settings in the ring app that are very frustrating to use and the customer service is terrible.they also use cheap predatory tactics to keep you spending money. for example, i have multiple ring cameras and the others allow you to flip the video. this camera does NOT allow you to flip the video. if its not sitting up right, then you need to purchase a bracket that lets you mount it upside down. why not just be able to flip the video like with all the other ring products?the camera video quality is pretty good, and captures a good chunk with the lens it has. the construction is a sleek design and looks very nice and aesthetically pleasing. However i want an option to record for longer durations or also to be able to view the camera at all times. this is not a feature, the camera will only record when you go to view it or when there is motion. i understand the reason why this is but i still want the option for that, i am paying for a premium service afterall.

Due to 3 separate instances of someone opening the gates in our yard, we decided to add the Ring Floodlight cam and a stick-up cam to cover our 2 gates and the entrance to the garage. Installation was not too difficult. Be careful of the direction of the unit because we installed it upsides down the first time. (not as obvious as you would think). So far is it working well. I was worried it would alert every time dogs/cats and squirrels cross their paths, but fortunately, it does happen very often.The only reason for taking off a star is because we now have 3 ring products, including a Ring doorbell, and the "Chime" in the house cannot be set to different tones to let you know which of the 3 Ring items has alerted. You are forced to run for your phone to check it ... MoreDue to 3 separate instances of someone opening the gates in our yard, we decided to add the Ring Floodlight cam and a stick-up cam to cover our 2 gates and the entrance to the garage.
