Ring Outdoor Camera Battery (Stick Up Cam)

We already have a couple of Ring products but didn't have a camera outside , but previously the cost of one was out of my range UNTIL this one came down to just under £35. This outdoor stick up holder is simplistic to screw on , and the rechargeable battery easy to remove and charge fully. As expected you get great picture and audio quality , and yes it has nightvision. The camera is wide-screen so your whole garden is covered , but you can angle the unit to suit what's best for you. I am re-reviewing this item because our 1st one kept randomly going offline but not our other cams , so bought a new stickup outdoor and touch wood we've had no problems whatsoever with going offline. I would suggest also buying a simple plug in WiFi booster extension with an outdoor camera as that's too has also helped and we have green lights on the device health which means it's working as it should be. Now we've a properly working camera we are very happy with this item so going to add stars to the rating.

This is an addition to the other 6 ring cameras i have ranging from ring door bell to the floodlight and some indoor and outdoor cameras and it didnt dissapoint.Easy to set up and add to the app that works faultlesly.Videos are crisp and clear and the app makes it easy to find the video clip you wish to view.Notifications when the cameras are trigered is in seconds to my mobile and i can watch live and interact with people if i wish or simply just monitor whats happening.Battery life is great, i get abot 2-3 months use before it needs recharging.100% recomend ring and its products

Update: Heavy Use at Front of HouseRunning this in battery mode at the front of my house, I get about 2–3 weeks per charge with plenty of activity. Rabbits in the garden constantly triggering motion alerts don’t help! Even so, it’s been reliable — no connection drops or false alarms. For peace of mind it’s been excellent. Hope this helps if you’re weighing up the battery side of things.Fit and forget — installed Nov 2023 and still dependable.I bought the Ring Outdoor Battery Stick Up Cam in November 2023, and it’s been mounted on my garage ever since. It’s now over a year in use, and overall I’m impressed with how reliable it’s been.Setup & Wi-Fi RangeSetup was straightforward using the Ring app. My Wi-Fi signal isn’t the strongest in the garage, but even at around 10m from the router inside the house the camera still connects reliably. Streaming can take a second or two to load, but once connected it’s stable.PerformanceThe camera captures a clear image, day and night, and the motion detection is sensitive enough to pick up even small movements — including rabbits passing through the garden and the occasional spider crawling across the lens. That sensitivity means you get plenty of alerts, which can be a positive or a nuisance depending on your settings.Battery LifeOn average, I get about 4 weeks on a full charge. This shortens if there’s a lot of activity — more traffic, wildlife, or busy days when the motion sensor is triggered often. Charging is easy with the removable battery, but I’d recommend buying a spare so you can always swap and keep the camera running.DurabilityAfter a year outdoors, it’s held up well against the weather. No issues with water ingress, and the casing still looks solid.Pros• Easy to set up and connect via Ring app• Reliable Wi-Fi at ~10m range• Clear picture, day and night• Motion detection even picks up rabbits and spiders• Battery easy to swapCons• Battery life can drop quickly with lots of movement• Takes several hours to recharge• Stream takes a moment to connect if Wi-Fi is weakA year on, this Ring camera has proved dependable and easy to live with. If you found this update useful, that’s great — it only took me a year to write it!.(Photo 1: camera mounted on garage wall — after a year outdoors, still in good condition)(Photo 2: screengrab from video footage — motion detection picking up rabbits in the garden)

I bought this camera as I already have a Ring doorbell. The camera works very well, video quality is good and motion detection works well with the right settings however when setup to work how I want it too the battery life goes from 98% (fully charged) to 20% in about 2 weeks! If I setup the camera with recommended settings for good battery life the camera fails to detect most motion. I have now ordered a Ring solar panel so will monitor how well battery life improves.Update: The solar panel wasn't suitable for a minimalist installation so i am back to just using the battery. Battery life is still poor even with all the settings as recommended by Ring, I wonder if the battery is faulty.Update: I have been forced to abandon using this device on battery, with the settings I want the battery only lasts 2 weeks at the most before needing a recharge. I have now paid even more money to get a power source and long cable so that I can use mains power. This does work however there is a long standing issue with the camera not detecting there is a power source other than battery so the app gives an error message. This doesn't seem to affect the camera and all the additional settings are now enabled. From looking online this power issue was reported and acknowledged by Ring in April 2023 but there is still no fix!

I honestly can’t recommend this Ring Outdoor Camera enough. Mine has been installed for around five years now and is still going strong despite being exposed to rain, wind and all kinds of weather. It has definitely stood the test of time and has proven to be extremely durable and reliable.Most importantly, this camera saved my house from a break-in. At around 3:30am it detected movement at the back of my property and alerted me to someone attempting to gain access. Having the camera there meant the activity was detected and recorded, and it gave me the opportunity to review exactly what had happened. For that alone, it has been worth every penny and has given me a huge amount of peace of mind.The battery life is also excellent, and the Ring app has loads of useful features. You can customise motion detection, change the areas or zones you want the camera to monitor, adjust sensitivity and tailor notifications so the setup works specifically for your property.There is also the option of paying for a Ring subscription, which I personally think is particularly useful because it allows recordings to be saved. If you receive a motion alert, you can go back afterwards and properly review the footage rather than relying solely on seeing the live notification.After around five years outdoors, mine is still working reliably. Between the build quality, battery life, customisable motion zones, saved recordings and the peace of mind it has given me, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their home security.For me, it has genuinely been a lifesaver and one of the best security purchases I’ve made. The picture quality is good and also has night vision mode.

Although not designed by the Amazon team this camera shares the same intensity of design. It works well and has a mounting bracket that can be fitted in one of two locations allowing mounting to horizontal or vertical surfaces. There is a connector to accept power from a wired DC power supply. The battery packs have an internal charge controller. They can be charged from any micro usb plug. Concept works well in practice. Effective within the constraints of finite battery capacity.Update: the exchangeable battery pack is a great boon.the camera is very significantly more than in battery mode. As a backup, the battery are two isolated sets of firmware and possibly even two different processors for the two modes. The battery back feature is still useful but not as flexible as one might niavely expect.Above review for Outdoor Camera Battery.Following review for Outdoor Camera PluginThis actually has the same camera unit as the above Battery model, the difference being this is supplied with a flexible mains adaptor and lead rather than a rather good portable battery pack and USB charging cable. The user can switch power mode within the Ring App. An undocumented feature is that you can add a portable battery pack to the plugin model to allow it to operate for around 20 hours in the event of mains failure (whilst in 'plugin' mode). The battery will be charged when the mains feed is available. Also the option to take snapshots every minute is the default because there is not the concern about wasting valuable battery power. So far so good. However there is a major installation problem that will defeat many users. The connector to provide DC power to the Camera unit is an angled barrel plug so that it does not get in the way of adjusting the viewing angle of the camera, fair enough, but if you need to route the cable through a wall to reach a mains socket you need to drill a hole of about 23 mm in diameter. In wood this is within the scope of a DIY enthusiast but in concrete or brick this is a major problem requiring a very large and often long masonry bit (£15?) and possibly the hire of a low speed, high torque, large chuck hammer drill. A lot of folks will need to hire a handyman. This represents a major goof and a rethink of the DC supply cable is required so that it will pass through say a 4mm hole.Anyone hitting this installation brick wall (literally) can get round the problem by buying a Ring portable battery pack and recharging it about once a month.I respect the millions of dollars that go into the development of Amazon/Ring products, it shows, I wish I was part of the design team, but this time, sorry, you overlooked a significant practical issue on the plugin model. A technically excellent product that many will struggle to use as designed.Update on the plug-in plus battery standby mode: in wired mode the power consumption of the camera is many times that if battery mode. In the evebt of a power failure the backup battery pack only lasts 24 hours. The obvious solutionvis to change over to battery mode until such time power is restored. However you need to be next to the camera and go through a full network configuration process again to change mode. It seems there are two sets of firmware and possibly even two processors. Nevertheless the battery backup mode is useful for anyone that experiences frequent power outages where the camera is mounted.You can also run the camera in battery mode and use the plugin power system to change the battery when mains is available. You loose some performance but gain long term integrity.to provide continuous use in the event of a power failure and will charge it in-situ. However there is a problem, in wired mode the power consumption of

Worth its weight in gold! Very easy to set up as I had a ring plan for the front door anyway, stuck this up at our back gate and very happy with results. Quality is what you pay for, sound is good when on live view and such. Currently sat at the end of a 100ft garden overlooking a back gate (with WiFi extended already in place) no problems with connectivity, it does seem to be at max range though. We caught a deer on camera :) very happy

Good cameras. (Hence the star) ABSOLUTELY USELESS WITHOUT TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM RING.. I am elderly and was so pleased at how easy it was to set these cameras up and the picture view was excellent. I set up a Multi Ring Plan, with 12 benefits, for when my initial trial period finished. Nothing has been working since except my Live view only, No detection or alerts, or videos etc.I cannot contact anyone human at Ring. You only get Phone numbers, which I cannot use as I am DEAF. RELAY does not connect to their phone line and there is no email address. I went on Ring’s CHAT and spent an hour and a half for the Bot to tell me it couldn’t solve my problem, but it did not direct me to a human!!!!! Looking at the reviews online I am not alone.I am so disappointed with Amazon, as they are just as difficult to contact. I bought these cameras through them and also understand that, not only is Ring their supplier, Amazon own Ring, but no one is able to help.Even the Police have looked at it for me and told me to get hold of Ring as it is not working. I am cancelling my Plan.

Very useful

Ich bin mit der Ring Stick Up Cam Battery sehr zufrieden. Die Installation ist einfach und schnell erledigt, und dank der WLAN-Verbindung lässt sich die Kamera bequem über das Smartphone bedienen. Die Bildqualität in 1080p HD ist gut und liefert klare Aufnahmen. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass die Kamera kabellos funktioniert und dadurch flexibel am Haus oder auf dem Grundstück angebracht werden kann. Auch die Bewegungserkennung und die Benachrichtigungen auf dem Handy sind sehr nützlich. Die wetterbeständige Bauweise ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt für den Einsatz im Außenbereich. Insgesamt eine tolle Überwachungskamera mit vielen praktischen Funktionen. Klare Kaufempfehlung! 👍

Muy práctica al funcionar con batería, porque puedes colocarla donde más te interese sin tener que andar buscando un enchufe. La instalación es bastante cómoda y viene bien para tener controlado lo que pasa fuera de casa desde el móvil. Eso sí, conviene elegir bien el sitio para no acabar vigilando media calle y olvidándote de lo tuyo 😂. En general, una buena opción para mejorar la seguridad en casa.

Muito bom

premesso che ho comprato l'ottimo sistema di allarme in kit, volevo completarlo con una telecamera esterna perché quelle che avevamo erano da interno, montate in zona protetta, ma comunque... davano anomalie...nella posizione ottimale dove installare non avevo corrente, così ho voluto provare questa, ma ero molto diffidente sulla prestazione e durata della batteria... invece... una favola, installa in meno di mezz'ora, ho dovuto forare il muro, funziona da un mese, con rilevamento di movimento intelligente solo persone attivo 24H, noi sul terrazzo ci andiamo... ha consumato solo il 10% di batteria... dovesse essere realmente così è favolosa, come detto per l'altra con filo... senza il piano di abbonamento è inutile non potendo registrare il locale, con il suo piano è semplicemente perfetta! Visione notturna a colori sorprendente!
