What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The camera comes in two variations. I have a solar panel for the doorbell which greatly extends the time between swapping batteries. I find it helped having a spare battery to rotate round so everything is always in working order.
Impressed by the ingenuity of the packaging. It's still early days yet as to how well this all fairs, but i feel a bit more relaxed knowing as yet it's working as intended.
The base plate needs four screws, then you slide the angled head plate onto that and one screw makes tye connection solid. It’s very easy to install and set up and the batteries seem to have great longevity.
Cons
The camera needs a strong wifi signal to work well. The signal quality from the modem to the camera is terrible and causes all sorts of issues. The camera disconnects it’s self from wifi all the time, too know connect i’ve too get the ladders out and ... Read More

When it does record, the sound is awful and drops in and out. The recorded footage often suffers from ghosting. Even if it did capture a cars licence plate, you wouldn't be able to read it. Also the sensor is very poor.
Sensitive and unreliable camera. Works consistently for a few days and then goes offline. I have to restart it many times for it to work properly.

Price
If you just have one item it is under £50 for the year.
Again, this was a simple process and costs £80 per year instead of £47 (ish).
Had to pay someone for installation as i don't do ladders.
Then i saw it on prime day for £99 and thought i would give it a tryone reason i had been worried about buying one was that our... Read More
Competitiveness
It is a brand new product, so ring might deal with this.
Try as i could, i could not find on ring’s website any installation instructions except for a similar but different ring product.
