Thank you! I also livestream reviews nearly everyday so I have a lot of testing and practice.

Works as advertised

You can flip the plate with the ball mount to mount it as you need

U can mount the old bracket on the bottom. Open battery compartment and flip the ball around

Good video I don’t recommend buying it if you already have ring doorbell.

Are you the one who streams that music from KZread you have on the music in the background? If so, I listen to it all the time while doing my homework!

Attempting to secure the pressure release screw that is attached to the camera mount to the mounting plate. Have you had any issue getting that specific screw to secure?? Any advice would be helpful though snapped into place screw will not secure.

can you adjust the brightness on the LED ?

Hi there Just found your video & to let you know something you might not know about the new spotlight cam , on the back where the ball is located when you have the door open where the ball is that whole piece can slide out so you can have it at the top or the bottom ( as in your video you said it can only sit 1 way ) i have 4 spotlight cams & hope this helps you out

great tip. I am going to include this in my ring pro comparison. I just tried it. Thanks for the tip here!

We have a 3 acre home and our neighbor has a 4 acre home. For reasons I wont get into, we need some sort of security system that will tell us whenever he is outside his home, within about 90 feet of our house (or within 40 feet of the property line). We live in a rural area and our WiFi does not extend that far from the house. What Ring products ill help us get an alert or even a video of our neighbor on his property but within about 100 feet of our house?

nice video. Shame no 2k or 4k but you do a good job explaining what the benefits are and why Ring went with 1080p. I guess its all about the cloud storage.

great tutorial! firmware is updated, connection good, but videos jump around

A lot of useful and insightful points. Thank you. Did I hear you say the monthly charge is as high as $40 US? I thought the top monthly charge was $20

I jjust got off the phone with Ring. The rep told me $20 a month or $200 a year.

Now that you've had it for a while, How long does the batterys last?. How much traffic do you have?

1:30 does that bit not slide out on the spotlight plus so you can move the knob from the bottom to the top?

Does it come with a magnet adapter? Coming from an arlo system, they left us high and dry😒...

Do this NEED to be screw into the wall or can I have it standing on a flat surface?

I have a big lot and two different buildings. Can i setup cameras on two different wifi and connect them to one phone app? Also how long alert notifications go on the phone? Can we have app installed in multiple phones so everyone gets alerts? Is subscription mandatory? Can you exclude animals from creating false alert? To charge battery do i have to remove it out of camera every time i need to charge and how long they last?

So the ring plus only comes with one batter but it needs two batteries?

So a few questions. They have a wired version and a battery version on the ring website - but I assume that both can be hard wired using the USB C port on the back to give it mains power?

@TheFrenchGlow

Жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes both can be hardwired or used with battery. I have the spotlight pro battery and hardwired versions. They are identical except the hardwired comes with no battery and a power adapter while the battery comes with 1 battery. Be prepared to use add a 2nd battery if the cam is located in a high traffic area like a driveway and you have high sensitivity levels.

So you can use battery or plug in?

is the camera talk every time it detects move motion?

How do I use the two way talk on this ring spotlight

Does the solar panel actually keep the batteries charged 24/7, or do you find that the batteries still die or struggle with charging even with the use of the solar panel? I ask because I am interested in purchasing the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus with solar for my grandparents for a blind spot on their home. I'd like for them to not have to worry about the hassle of frequently recharging the batteries since hardwiring isn't an option because, on that specific side of their home, they already have a standard floodlight there which is elevated quite high unlike their Ring Floodlight Cam in their driveway and Ring doorbells that are accessible if need be. I'm opting for the Ring Spotlight Cam with Solar because, If there were any complications with the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus, I'd rather them not have to worry about climbing a ladder to such a steep elevation to reach it if it were hardwired where their current, basic floodlight is since the Ring Spotlight Cam would be installed at a lower, more convenient elevation. My only concern with the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus with Solar is the battery life. Great video btw! Very informative!

Hi! You have to get the 4W solar panel and if you have battery issues, you will want 2 batteries and not 1. Battery drain is really dependent on how sensitivity your ring settings are. The spotlight + cam uses 25w so if your spotlights are on all night, it will drain the battery fast. With minimum spotlight use, I have not had to charge the batteries yet after over a month.

Still can't get the bottom off. This thing has been sitting on my back porch for a year after getting filled with water the first time it rained. Should have called and gotten it replaced, but didn't until it was too late. Today, I decided to search how to open it. Released the screw and it still won't come open.

Yes, it now comes in only one version. I had to replace my older plug in version under warranty and this is what Ring sent to me as my replacement. I also got the power cord. At first I did not like it, but now I do. Here’s why, if the power goes out the spotlight switches over to its battery for power automatically. When power is restored it switches back and then starts to recharge the battery. Also when plugged in it keeps the battery charged.

Can’t get the base plate mount open

Thought that was a real person behind you. 😮

So the motion detection is less, and it's so much harder to get to the battery; and this is an upgrade? I think not.

So if you have aluminum siding, or you have to mount it where there’s aluminum or metal, it’s gonna distort that sound when you’re listening back to previous recordings. So I have to figure out how to fix that problem because the audio is horrible on all of the ring cameras, because those are the only ones I’ve ever tried, and there’s no way on some of these ring cameras to adjust the sensitivity volume so that everything‘s not just rise off everything you’re getting all this distorted, scratchy, horrible Audio! And I’m noticed that it has to do with aluminum siding or any type of metal siding that you put your item on your camera on. to. Besides the above, now I have another issue with this camera! I’ve had it installed on the front of my garage, and it runs into the garage and plugs into an outlet. Yes, it’s the corded, not the direct into a junction box. Now it’s been up for a good , probably eight months, with no batteries in just running off the plug-in that I installed and now all of a sudden it a lot it’ll work but the lights will come off and it doesn’t wanna connect and it’s nothing to do with Wi-Fi or my bridge. It’s something in the system itself apparently, it doesn’t wanna stay on it doesn’t wanna stay charged or somehow it isn’t getting any electricity to it and I can’t understand it because it’s been plugged in. It’s worked fine what’s wrong with it unplugged it plugged it back in the lighter come on for a moment and then it’s just no juice and I know it’s not my garage. I know it’s not the plug-in, and most likely it’s not the cord! So I’m really just personally sick of all of these types of cameras and all of the constant issues and going off-line Wi-Fi problems here I’m just ready to go a more professional type unit, that I don’t have to deal with any of that it’s all corded and it all runs into a box. You can monitor it because I’m sick of all of this and I’m I’m just wrong good money after bad all the time by the time I’m done with all this crap I could’ve went and bought two professional systems, save your money people go look at it up professional home systems. You’ll be better in the long run and a lot less headache and hassle.👍

Please do not buy the new model for the elderly or anyone with hypertension. There is nothing in the package that remotely indicates twisting the bottom to open the case. Just the word "twist" would have been nice but the designers did what they did I suppose to sell more models after the customers pried on these things to the point of breaking them. It's just unbelievable. Secondly, the round snap-in grip is like inviting a thief to just snatch the camera off the grip. The irony of trying to secure our homes, but the camera itself is open-season for grab and go thieves. That's right folks, even with the clamp in place, a nice little yank and the camera is yours. So mount them high, and go for the solar option I guess.
