I've watched roughly 8 or 9 videos on this specific cam and you are the first one to mention a subscription.... much appreciated, and thank you for doing the review!!
Thank you for the great explanation and demo of the mounting bracket. It was a separate (optional purchase) item for my camera. No instructions were included.
Steve, I would love to see two things. 1- a head to head comparison of the camera systems you have reviewed. 2- a review on how well the solar panel works for the various ring products.
Thank you. And that’s all I ask for, a little more up front transparency with the subscription cost. Other than that they are good cameras. And I do really like their app. :)
Ring should offer a home base unit with local storage (SD/micro SD) for those who don't want to pay inflated prices for cloud storage. Would not be hard for them to do. I have a Ring Doorbell Pro and two Ring Floodlights, so I'm invested, but wished I would have waited. I like Eufy, but no-one has the "whole package" yet... Doorbell, long battery life, local storage, great video and audio. Great review.
Guessing they don't offer the local storage because they want that recurring revenue. It doesn't seem to bad with the monthly monitoring for their security product included in that protect plan if you have the Ring security alarm too
The only problem with that is that you would then NOT be able to view timeline events outside the house, as it requires the footage to be uploaded to the cloud to be accessed whilst out and about as it's uploaded to ring's servers. If you had it stored locally you could only access the footage whilst on your home WiFi network, as soon as you leave and go to work, or go out socialising you wouldn't be able to access the recordings as they are stored on a device on your internal WiFi network. The only way to get around it would be to have a base unit that ALSO uploads it to some form of cloud, I looked at this solution as I wanted the best of both, cloud viewing but also with no cost, I considered BLINK as it has local storage option but no cloud viewing, it's one or the other. And any cloud storage option will inevitably have a fee somewhere. In the end we went with Ring's premium protect plan as we have a doorbell, a chime pro, and 4 spotlight cameras all with solar panels, so it was worth the £7.99 a month or £90 a year for cloud recording across all devices.
People might complain about the subscription.. We have a ring doorbell, a chime pro, and 4 Spotlight cameras all with solar panels, we pay £7.99 a month for the premium plan or £90 a year (UK based) and personally I'd say it's great value. You can only use ONE device on the basic plan which is £2.99 a month. On the premium plan we're on we get 10% discount on ring devices from their site, and I believe they also extend the warranty of your devices so long as they are less than 1 or 2 years old at the time of purchasing the plan.
Perfect review. Been thinking of getting one to go with my Ring Video Doorbell 2 as coverage for my backdoor/deck. This showed me everything I had questions on.
Thank you Steve for a great review. I just bought ring video doorbell 2 recently and loving it. I think the ring stick up cam battery would make the perfect second cam for your home. It is very versatile.
Good job on the review. Some videos are scattered but yours was nice and calm and your voice was relaxing to listen to. ha. I am curious about the battery life on these things though. Are you still using it now? Have you had to recharge it? I saw mention of 2 year battery life but I am guessing that is only in very limited situations. A post on Homedepot said they got 21 days out of it. I am thinking of getting one of these and one of the solar panels
Appreciate the "Subscription" portion of your video. I wasn't aware that the subscription is required to enable FULL functionality. I'm not aware of Ring mentioning a subscription in their commercials to date.
Not sure how much more transparent they could be. Their site tells you exactly what you get with the plan. And it does, in fact, extend your warranty as long as you keep the plan. I confirmed this with a Ring rep the other day.
There's really conflicting advice about RINGs (doorbells and cameras) connectivity to chromecast and Google home. Can you shine some light on that for me? I'm thinking of getting the doorbell and a couple of cameras but I don't want any wires. Thank you
That's the only reason I'm watching this video. My Ring video doorbell 2 was atrocious with battery life. It uses the same battery. If I get this I will most likely get the wired version. Saves the headache of having to change it, even if it's once a month. There is also battery degradation so it will last less and less with time. But I guess you can always get the solar charger, but not sure how well that works either.
Thank You! Awesome summation and not having a hub .....one more device to manage was a great note. Your mounting demo was spot on as well. Will be grabbing one and curious to see if rapid temp change has any effects. Thanks once again.
Thanks! There’s no diagram that I can find that identifies the functions of the 2 pinhole lights that are above & below the main lens on the camera so I’m wondering what they mean? I notice sometimes (randomly) that the one below the lens is showing a red light & that shows even when the camera is disabled- Any ideas?
Great review Steve. If I may add one thing don’t mean to step on your toes but the $10. Protect plan plus covers all ring products, to include the alarm and professional monitoring. Also get 10% off any additional ring products bought. PS. Not a representative for ring I own Arlo and Ring both
Hey Steve great review, I live a flat where it’s a shared communal area, this looks perfect for what I require, but I think it would be easy to access the battery pack for someone being mischievous is there a security lock and is it pretty accessible, thanks for highlighting about the subscription. Also what’s the battery life like?
It is a protection plan. If any of your cameras get stolen or break they replace it. I have 4 ring cameras along with their security system with keypad and sensors. I have had the service for 4 years and have had several cameras break and security components break and I just call them up and they replace it. It cost me $100 for the cloud monitoring along with professional security monitoring as well as the protection. Worth every penny. You need to edit your video to be more accurate.
have a few questions: 1) do you think it would hold in place on a ceiling with one of the 3M velcro sticky? b/c i really don't want to drill holes into the wall. 2) i am thinking of using this as a baby monitor for my toddler's room, so i would want to use it only at night for a few hours, and i would NOT need it to be triggered by motion. 3) can I turn off the camera from my app during the day time when he's not sleeping in there? to save battery? or is it just on 24-7? THANKS!
I live in a hilly area and my home sits below street level and I have 2 bars with a signal booster on my I Pad. I hope that I will be able to mount camera 12 to 15 feet high? Any comments appreciated so I can get a good reception.
Thanks for the video! Did your outdoor cam perform well in freezing temperature? I have heard lithium batteries don't perform well in cold weather. Many thanks!
Great review, I purchased previous seeing this but for the price range I think it's not bad. I do have a suggestion for you perhaps do a review for products within the same price range that may be pretty helpful. Thank you again!
Hey buddy let me start off by saying I love all your videos very informative and very professional please keep up the good work I’m actually in the market to picking up a system for my house there are so many options out there. I was thinking of getting the Arlo pro two because the 4K is very expensive and still has issues I’m also considering the ring floodcam as well. I was wondering which of the two would you recommend. Thanks for any advice and help that you can offer
Thank you i'm happy to hear that the videos are helping. Between the 2 i would recommend the Arlo Pro 2 because of the free 7 days of cloud storage. With Ring you're locked into a subscription plan. If you're ok with the subscription than both cameras are about equal in picture quality.
Steve DOES hey thanks again for the fast response and advice. I’m going to go with the Arlo pro 2. Not sure yet the 4K is worth the high price. What do you think of the 4K
@@felixlaboy1453 Arlo is re-releasing the Ultra on the 24th. I hope to have the latest software update in a few days and plan to post a new video with the results Friday night.
That's always a tough question to answer. If it's a high traffic area like your kitchen or family room then it only lasts about a week or 2. My front and back door don't have a lot of traffic, since we use the garage, so it last about 3-4 months.
I have a Stick Up Cam Battery and lose about 5% battery each day. I only get about 3-4 notifications per day, so I’d like to know how people are getting such long battery life.
Very through review. Very informative. My stick up cam was installed by a vendor. It is on a pedestal that is attached to an outside horizontal surface. I want to relocate the camera to an outdoor wall surface so I have ordered a mounting bracket. Do I leave the pedestal on or is it screwed to the battery cover?
I love this Ring Doorbell but had I known I had to pay more to get recorded video on my 2 Stick up cams I would not have bought them just stick with the Doorbell..I had no idea either there was a subscription to be paid quite unfair of Ring to do this..I would love to know about other brands do they operate the same with subscriptions???
Hello there, can this be used as a video camera with usb recording, also can this function and record movements should the Internet stop broadcasting for a short time (eg around 45 minutes)
Don't bother with this, we purchased before going away for three months, 4 days after we left had a power outage, apparently you have to be home to push the reset button, how crazy is that. Not happy
I first installed my Ring doorbell 2. A couple of weeks later I installed the battery stick up camera. Why is it that when i get an alert it's only coming from my doorbell? Both cameras are facing the same direction.
Hi very nice review. I have watched a few of your videos to try to make up my mind which one I want. I now have the blink cameras but have problems with it ..my question is. Which camera system is better. The ring stick up with battery or the Eufy system. ..does the eufy have direct WiFi only or does it go threw the port?? Thank you. Soooo confused. sandy
This camera can get wet. Mine have been out in the rain for the last few weeks and the only problem i had was water drops on the lens. This made the footage hard to see.
Hi Steve, wondering if you've checked out the Eufycam yet. I'm weighing up between that, the Arlo and the Ring for my new place. On paper at least, the Eufycam appears to be the pick.
Ring has a warranty on all of their products. I have a spotlight cam wired. You just have to get a police report. They would even replace it if someone cuts the wire. They will give you up to 6 months from the date printed on the report.
Hi does anyone know when using live stream mode is there any led light shown on the front of the cam red or blue indicating you are live streaming? Or is the camera screen just black
With all wifi ring. If you don't have good wifi videos will be choppy. I have 1 door bell 4 camers. Its simple ... plan is very good. I have gotten free replacements. And they speak English 👍
I love this camera den all the people complaining about paying a subscription need to chill its 3 dollars a month and that is nothing compared to a 10 dollar Netflix subscription
I agree, $3 a month isn't bad. I think the reason most people have a problem with it is because it's not really advertised. Plus if you have multiple cameras is can add up quick.
Great video as always Steve, can I ask, which wireless camera is best between the arlo pro 2, arlo ultra 4k and this nest cam in your opinion? Thanks in advance
I haven't tried Nest because they don't have a wire free camera yet. Also something that turned me away from Nest is that they have continuous video recording (CVR) as opposed to Arlo that is motion based recording. CVR sounds nice until you realize that HD video is being uploaded to the cloud 24/7. A lot of Internet providers have data caps where they would slow or internet speed if you hit that cap. One camera probably wouldn't be a problem but if you have more than that it might be something to worry about. Arlo is coming out with a feature later this year that will allow you to ditch the cloud all together and just record directly to the base and still be able to view that footage over your phone. I'm really excited for that to come. If you have any more questions let me know.
Great review - thank you. I was also frustrated at their lack of transparency around the subscription needed for recording video. The protection proud is very misleading. Also - as others indicated below. It would have been nice if you mentioned the battery charging frequency.

Which camera system is better. The ring stick up with battery or the Eufy system. ..does the eufy have direct WiFi only or does it go threw the port?? Thank you. Soooo confused. sandy
Hi Sandy, Eufy cameras do connect to a hub and not directly to WiFi. I prefer Eufy because theirs no monthly subscription fee like there is with Ring.
I got 1 yesterday !! How long does it take for a full charge
Good review, thanks!
Can you use a personal cloud storage system instead of Ring's cloud?
If it rains, and they get wet, does it affect them. Or must they be undercover.
This camera can get wet. Mine have been out in the rain for the last few weeks and the only problem i had was water drops on the lens. This made the footage hard to see.
Hi Steve, wondering if you've checked out the Eufycam yet. I'm weighing up between that, the Arlo and the Ring for my new place. On paper at least, the Eufycam appears to be the pick.
Second that
Hmm I haven't heard of these. I'll take a look. Thanks for bringing it up.
I’m looking forward for Eufycam review. Very little reviews now on the internet
No problems, be great to see how the Image Quality stacks up with the ones you've covered. Supposed to be pretty decent.
"eufyCam E" is what you're looking at?
Does this have a theft warranty like the doorbells?
Sadly, It does not.
Ring has a warranty on all of their products. I have a spotlight cam wired. You just have to get a police report. They would even replace it if someone cuts the wire. They will give you up to 6 months from the date printed on the report.
@@SteveDOES Wrong. "Lifetime Theft protection". Check their site.
Hi does anyone know when using live stream mode is there any led light shown on the front of the cam red or blue indicating you are live streaming? Or is the camera screen just black
A blue light will turn on when it detects motion but you can turn that off in the app. No light turns for me when i'm viewing live footage.
Great video. You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks!

I'm really excited for that to come. If you have any more questions let me know.
@@SteveDOES Did Arlo come out with at feature yet where you can record from the base?
@@CaliGirl2 They did in January and it's junk. I did a video talking about it.
Why would you say white is for indoors - 🤔
good stuff!
Great review - thank you. I was also frustrated at their lack of transparency around the subscription needed for recording video. The protection proud is very misleading.
Also - as others indicated below. It would have been nice if you mentioned the battery charging frequency.
Great video
thank you!
