Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The softwear is really user friendly and easy to set up which is refreshing compared to some others i have used. It's great that the sirens can be linked to my new ring security system so that all my outdoor cameras as well as the indoor siren will go...  Read More

This camera replaces a camera that lasted for 4 years with little to no issues. This camera also supports dual band wifi where the older one was only 2.

One was included. The solar panel maintains the charge of the supplied battery.



Cons

Light only stays on for a few seconds. Camera goes from not reading/charging the batteries to charging intermittently. Floodlight pro picks up motion very well the spotlight pro does not.

Bought 3 of these and 2 had the same exact issue a month apart. Won't be buying another refurbished unit, because i don't think they refurbish anything, they just repackage and send to the next person.

But then they just disconnect within seconds. As of this morning the device is offline again.

After having it for barely 2 months, it stopped working completely.

Price


There is a solar battery that you can add on, it’s not very expensive, about $60 if i recall.

Shipping


I had a very nice talk and was shipped a brand new camera.


I contacted ring customer service and was initially told "the unit only provides a trickle charge and won't actually charge the battery.


It took forever to get it returned for a new one but hopefully no issues with this one.

Competitiveness


So far, this has been a far superior to the nest, which is all i can compare it to.


The night vision goes at least twice as far out as the nest (a long, long way) and the range of video capture from side-to-side...  Read More


Once nest sold-out to google, they stopped updating it, and now their products can't compete with ring.


So my recommendation is to go with the plus edition, which seems far superior than the pro.
