Works well and the video quality is very good and very clear.
I have been looking for a long time for something that keeps an eye on my property and this does just that. It was a bit hard to set up from the point of view it seem to see my internet connection under a slightly different name. Turn off and back on did the job. Disappointing that I had to but a signal booster for something that was so expensive but its up and running and works well.

Cut corners so will cost you a lot more
Unless you live in a timber frame house, unlike most of the UK who have brick, this won’t ‘just work’. Sure it’ll connect and all will appear well and then you’ll realise it’s missing huge chunks of your day and night when it’s just not operational and is disconnected. In fact I was speaking to a policeman stood in front of the camera while my alarm was going off and it had captured the grand total of nothing. So it’s not really a security camera then, is it? It’s a toy. If you want a security camera buy a security camera. One that’s hard-wired. This all boils down to the fact that Ring cheaped-out on the WiFi components so that (I’m not kidding) you need a WiFi signal within six feet of your camera. It also only uses the old 2.5ghz standard (unlike competition from Nest etc, which support 5ghz. 2.4ghz is also easily blocked using a £130 jammer available on eBay. So the solution for me is either rip then out (having spent decent money putting them up and drilling big holes in the exterior brick work) and put a proper system in, or, as I will probably do, buy more WiFi kit and cables etc to get the WiFi signal to literally the other side of the wall from the ‘wireless’ cameras. This is all confirmed by Rings customer service team and helpful online reviews that I wished I’d read first. Buy another brand or buy some proper hard wired cctv cameras.

Brilliant piece of kit for the price. Would definitely recommend it.
Saw this advertised on TV and decided to give it a go. Bought it and set up in no time. Quickly connected to WiFi but needed a WiFi booster as I have this out the back of my garage but works fine. Motion zones are easy to set up too.

Solid, noticable, and reassuring
This in black or in white is pretty much instantly recognisable by anyone thanks to a healthy marketing campaign. If a would be thief saw this they would know they are being watched and hopefully go elsewhere. The fitting is as easy as any floodlight. Three wires, you learnt them in school. The app based setup is as simple as you would expect from Ring. Scan the QR code and follow the steps. Up and running in seconds. I had a software update which meant I couldn't use the camera live for about 5 minutes but I could use the 30s snapshot to angle it right. Nice and bright but not football stadium bright, so won't get the neighbours angry. Notifications are instant. Picture quality is top quality as is the sound.

Good value but issues..
Pretty easy to install although the internal wires are bit fiddly and could do with being a bit longer. It works well so far. My biggest complaint is the fixing stud to hold the cover on broke on one side with only relatively light pressure when tightening up..

Easy fit
Works well for the money, will depend where its mounted to get the best out of it. You will be amazed what you can see if you review footage, the siren is a pile of rubbish but will make noise as is the speaker for taking through it does pick up voices and sound well which is more use than telling people to get off my land.

Ring floodlight
I’ve got the ring floodlight up and it provides good clear views up my drive and works well with my amazon alexas. Just one problem with it is that one of the two fixing bolts have shears off leaving it open with water penetration. Any suggestions?

Excellent
I simply cannot what highly rate this camera enough having said that I know some people have had issues with their Wi-Fi speeds. I have good internet so have not experienced any problems with Wi-Fi. The picture quality is excellent even in night mode you still get a good picture but obviously if someone comes within the sensor range that you have set the lights will come on and this then improves the picture quality. Having the option to talk to someone at your door from your mobile phone anywhere in the world is fantastic the quality of speech through the camera is very very good no problems there. If you have an intruder on your property and you need to use the siren I am quite sure that it is loud enough to scare them away it will definitely draw attention. So so if you're looking for a security camera and this falls within your budget, and your Wi-Fi is good, do not hesitate in buying this camera.

Brilliant. Beight
This is a brilliant product. It lights up my garden well. The sensitivity of the light is a bit difficult to handle. However. The lighting is bright it records before the motion and the alarm sounds. The only thing I wish is that you could 360 control the camera and change the kelvin of the bulb.
