Ring Spotlight Cam Plus Battery | Wireless outdoor Security Camera 1080p HD Video, Two-Way Talk, LED Spotlights, Siren, alternative to CCTV system | 30-day free trial of Ring Subscription

I have built up an array of 6 ring devices connected to perform various camera/doorbell variations. For this review I will focus on just the Spotlight camera. As stated on my other Ring reviews, unless your needs are urgent, wait for the inevitable sale in January, Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day, Full Moon Day, Rainbow in the Sky Day or whatever the marketing types have cooked up.This camera is for outside and is weather resistant. I have mounted it below a hanging basket to give it a little more protection. To mount it you need to drill a few holes for the mount. I was new to doing this but a few YouTube videos and a careful drill purchase instructed me how to do it. The camera comes in two variations. Wired and battery. I bought the battery version. This model is unusual to the other Ring cameras in that it can hold two batteries. They are the quick release batteries common to Ring camera range. It works just fine for me with one battery. If you are going to use just battery power make sure you place the camera where you can easily change them without resorting to ladders every time. The downside of making it more accessible of course is that it could be tampered with or stolen. There is a USB connection at the back that can be connected to a Ring Solar Panel. I bought one of these as well and from May the 1st to the 1st of January in the UK I have not had to change the battery once. It has just the one battery in it. The cameras charging will depend on factors such as the solar panel placement, how much activity is recorded by the camera and how you configure motion recording plus how you configure the light usage. All the standard ring camera configuration options are there with the standard user-friendly application on your smart phone. You can then fine tune configure it. Multiple motion detection zones, audio recording on/off, infrared on/off, night vision colour option recording time up to 120 seconds, on/off, smart motion detection for motion detecting just people and motion detection sensitivity are all standard. You can connect it to your Amazon Alexa Echo to give you a verbal ‘Motion Detection’ alert if you want as well. You can also configure it to determine if the lights switch on when movement is detected. You can also set them to not come on for periods of time via a schedule. The motion detection will work even if the lights do not come on during the day or by schedule selection at night. The light does not significantly improve the recordings in my experience over the standard outside Stick up cameras I have. The spotlight camera is however much more expensive that the versions without the lights. If you want somebody to be under no illusion the camera is recording the lights will do that. Note it additionally has the little pinhole blue light. This comes on when recording on all Ring cameras. The only way to stop the little blue light is to put a bit of black tape over it. Doing this does not impact the performance of the camera. I bought the Spotlight version because I have a black patch at the rear of my house that I want to be able to see clearly when walking through it and check the area before venturing out. At night it is very dark and I felt this option would save me fitting a separate solar light to illuminate the area. It does this well. If you have limited space for an array of devices on your walls or are just plain tired of having so many devices cluttering up the side of your house this might be for you. Overall I think I could have managed with a separate solar light but that would have still have meant another mount with drilling. Due to the location of the camera the solar panel needs to be connected round the corner to pick up enough sun. I’d therefore have to have a separate solar light with a long cable to the separate solar panel which would be two more mounts. Be aware you can get solar lights with built on solar panels ( one mount in total ) for cheaper than the cost difference between a stick up camera and the spotlight camera. It depends on your needs. As with all Ring cameras make sure you choose the right model for the need you are Ring to satisfy. There is a wired Floodlight version that looks to be a more powerful light source. So yes it does the job for me. It’s reliable, saved me an extra pair of mounts, works well with the separate Solar Panel I bought, is easy to configure and gives a good picture with a wide angle.

The quality of the video from these is excellent and the light at night is plenty bright enough. The motion detection and sound are both very good. They are easy to set up and if you’re confident with drilling holes then you only need to drill 4. The only downside I can envision at the moment is that changing the batteries could be a right royal pain due to the design. It might be worth investing in a spare one so the charged one can go in when required instead of having to take the base off the camera twice. It’s the awkwardly placed retaining screw that will be a pain. Hopefully this will be addressed during a tech refresh.

We got this as some neighbourhood kids started playing down OUR driveway, around the cars, and there was damage. We needed to have proof so opted for this Ring device as we already have a Ring video doorbell. We chose this over the floodlight cam because it was a smaller, compact and less obtrusive device, that doesnt stand out too much at the front of the house. Set up for the camera was really easy, apart from needing a ladder to locate it at an appropriate height. Connected easily using a hard wiring kit (so we don't have to change out a battery). Connected to the WiFi, and although it says it has poor signal, it has caught everything every time, in clear and crisp video and no lag or missed spots. As well as the usual 'motion sensor' zones, which are completely customisable, there are two 'privacy' zones that can be set up where needed, so we are not recording our neighbours coming in and out of their property. Would be great if the shape of the privacy zone could be changed like the motion sensor, rather than just a square or rectangle, as the area we needed covering is actually triangular, so we ended up covering areas that didn't need it (fence) to ensure the areas needed were covered. Also have the audio recording switched off so we don't record neighbours private conversations. Great quality night vision recording. The spotlight isn't going to light up the top of the garden but it does what it needs to and doesn't cause flaring on the camera. Comes on in a nano second after dark, with no lag. Very happy with it and are looking to get another to replace our unbranded 'free to access with adverts' one round the back of the house. Downside is that in order to record video/photos and store for 30 days you need a subscription to a Ring plan. If you just have one item it is under £50 for the year. However, as this is the second item we had to increase our plan and it is now coming in at £100 for the year, but they did say that if we add another item there will be no further charge. If you are happy to pay the subscription and want the peace of mind of life time warranty AND replacement if stolen (police crime report required), it is definitely worth a look. We are certainly very happy with it.

This was easy to set up, a couple of screws and a charge of the battery and your away. It’s a good size and with the solar panel I’ve not needed to charge it so the battery life is great. The picture qualities good and I can see everything. With the functionality of a schedule you choose when you want to start the lights and record which also saves power. Only slight down side is the lights are not that bright but the low light capability means it see clearly.

The camera and app are really easy to set up and use. The solar panel has been amazing as this has kept the battery fully charged for me which is a definite bonus. The only issue I am having is that I am getting alerts for everything everywhere, apart from on the area I actually want covered. I have changed settings and reset them etc and this really is likely just a me problem as everything g else is working great and I am very pleased with the product.

Excellent quality absolutely love this product very easy set up and the picture quality is amazing

It's easy to fit and the lights are a very usefull feature. My spotlight detects me as soon as I enter my front gate. This means I have ample light to see my way to my front door in the dark and gives enough light for me to be able to see the keyhole to unlock my door. The lights also act as a deterrent to would be intruders at night.

Easy to install and works great

Después de un año de uso, puedo decir que esta cámara de exterior es una de las mejores que he probado, superando a otras marcas como Blink en calidad de imagen, sonido y sensibilidad al movimiento. La imagen es nítida y detallada, tanto de día como de noche, con una visión nocturna realmente impresionante. Uno de sus puntos fuertes es su detección de movimiento, que se puede configurar para que envíe notificaciones automáticas al teléfono cuando detecta actividad. Lo mejor es que sabe discriminar entre personas y animales, evitando falsas alarmas innecesarias. Sin embargo, el único aspecto negativo destacable es la duración de la batería. Con un uso intensivo, no supera las tres semanas, aunque tiene la ventaja de que cuenta con un segundo compartimento para añadir una segunda batería, lo que puede alargar su autonomía. Es importante tener en cuenta que esta cámara funciona exclusivamente con baterías y no puede conectarse ni a la corriente ni a placas solares. Por lo tanto, no graba las 24 horas, sino que solo almacena grabaciones cuando detecta movimiento o cuando accedes a la vista en vivo. En definitiva, si buscas una cámara de exterior con una calidad de imagen excepcional, buena detección de movimiento y sonido de alta calidad, esta es una opción excelente. Solo hay que tener en cuenta la autonomía de la batería y la necesidad de recargarla periódicamente. Muy recomendable.

En tant que professionnel de la vidéosurveillance, je suis très exigeant sur le matériel. J’ai installé cette Ring Spotlight Plus (modèle sans fil, sur batterie), avec panneau solaire 6W et seconde batterie, et le résultat est tout simplement exceptionnel. ⸻ ✅ Les points forts constatés après plusieurs mois d’usage : • Installation simple et rapide : réglages accessibles à tous via l’application Ring, fluide et complète. • Autonomie illimitée : avec un panneau solaire 6W, les batteries ne descendent jamais, même en hiver. • Qualité vidéo excellente, de jour comme de nuit (grâce au projecteur LED et à la vision nocturne en couleur). • Réactivité bluffante : détection de mouvement rapide, alertes instantanées et personnalisables. • Cloud ultra sécurisé : fini le risque de vol des enregistrements !

Dans plusieurs cas (résidences secondaires, commerces, maisons isolées), Ring s’est avéré plus simple, plus fiable et plus économique, tout en étant plus sécurisé grâce au cloud. ⸻ 💬 Conclusion La Ring Spotlight Plus sur batterie, couplée à un panneau solaire, est à mes yeux l’une des meilleures solutions de surveillance sans fil du marché. Je la recommande aussi bien aux particuliers qu’aux professionnels dans de nombreuses configurations. ➡️ Fiabilité, autonomie, qualité d’image, application fluide et cloud sécurisé : tout est réuni pour une surveillance efficace et sans souci.

Straordinario! Comprate 4 videocamere approfittando degli sconti amazon/ring. Si montano molto facilmente: si inchioda una base di supporto al muro, da cui poi la videocamera si può attaccare/staccare con facilità. Anche la configurazione è molto semplice. Qualità video/audio ottima, con visione notturna, luci automatiche e microfono/speaker integrato. La batteria dura anche 2 mesi con una sola ricarica, se vengono presi alcuni accorgimenti come per esempio diminuire l'intesità della luce del faro (ottima appunto la possibilità di poterlo fare) ed eccellente il fatto di poter inserire due batterie (funziona anche con una e basta). Forse l'unica cosa non intuitivissima è l'app, ma ci si prende mano. Ovviamente poi bisogna sottoscrivere un abbonamento per usufruire di tutte le sue potenzialità (quello massimo dovrebbe essere poco piu di 100 euro all'anno). Davvero soddistatto. con 350 euro mi sono comprato e montato 4 videocamere controllate da remoto con visione nottura e audio/speaker, e con l'abbonamento ho registrazione h24. Un impianto simile fatto da un'azienda l'avrei pagato migliaia di euro
