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.



Cons

It is a foolish choice of ring (amazon), with no reasoning except to make you buy their additional mounting kit, which i did not. The power chord comes out of the bottom of the mounting base, which is not secure at all. The wire is the poorest quality...  Read More

It works only if you pay a monthly fee plus it records only if there it detects motion. If your thief is not in the 5 ft of sweet spot, it's a blur. The light only stays on for a few seconds and it’s a yellow light not a bright white light like most s...  Read More

The battery life is awful. I won't be buying another refurbished unit, because i don't think they refurbish anything, they just repackage and send to the next person.

Every video start out grainy for the first 5 seconds. First 4 seconds of pre roll recording are blurred.

We have 2 batteries and the large solar panel and even so, the batteries drain to 0% in less than 2 weeks.

Quality


This pro camera has good features works well

The wire is the poorest quality and its integral sheathing will make splicing very difficult without damaging the stranded 18ga...  Read More


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.

    We have several different ring products we purchased this one for a screened in porch area


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The motion activated lights on this seem to be a complete afterthought


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In contrast to the camera there is hardly any control over the motion detection for the lights


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no sensitivity adjustment you can’t control the duration of the light when triggered factory set for 30 seconds and it’s detection pattern is spotty


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is basically three settings in the software offonauto


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have given up and turned it off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had plans to replace my back porch light fixture with another one of these but will hold off to see if they improve on the matter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If they gave the light detection a fraction on the care they gave the camera
