Pros & Cons
Pros
The softwear is really user friendly and easy to set up which is refreshing compared to some others i have used. They are easy to use and sync to your phone via the app.
Cons
Ring is just a money pit. Arlo is much better. When they work - they are incredible.
Wherever we move this particular camera to, the signal strength reads on this over 90 and looses signal. I have to constantly reboot the camera for it to reconnect.
I bought the solar charger and an extra battery and got everything setup and the motion lights shut off after 30 seconds.
The issue was not resolved. The customer support took 3 calls and emails to approve the replacement. As of this morning the device is offline again.
Light is like an old flashlight that has a dying battery. And lights are not as bright as my regular spotlight cam plug in. Such a disappointment not a good security light.

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.
We live in a mobile home park, and we look out for our one neighbor who can't afford security so the ring products are great for us
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.
