Outdoor Camera Battery (Stick Up Cam) | Wireless HD Video Security Camera | Easy to Install | Alternative to CCTV system

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 Plugin This 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

good value practical and easy to install , fitting more to my property , rechargeable batteries help massively and I'll always have spare ones fully charged and quick to swap over .

Excellent quality, really easy to install 👌

This camera is good for a little extra peace of mind. The picture quality is clear, battery life is decent, and it does what it’s meant to do for basic outdoor monitoring. Setup was straightforward and it integrates well with the Ring app. It’s not a full security system replacement, but as an additional camera it works well and adds useful coverage around the home.

Update: Heavy Use at Front of House Running 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 Range Setup 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. Performance The 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 Life On 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. Durability After 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 swap Cons • Battery life can drop quickly with lots of movement • Takes several hours to recharge • Stream takes a moment to connect if Wi-Fi is weak A 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!.

Got these on 23 November fitted them at Christmas and 2 weeks ago 1 stopped working tried everything

Bought these camera’s as we are upgrading from our cctv camera’s. Very pleased with the reception and images it produces and is controlled from an iPad or phone. Bought this package as we wanted to have them all around the property.

Unfortunately, I do not think it is worth the money. I have it set to watch my front door and have been using it for nearly a month. So far, the only person it alerted me about is me, and that is because I stood in front of the door for more than 5 minutes. I therefore set the motion sensitivity to its highest level, which resulted in the battery draining in 3 days. Prior to that, with recommended settings, the battery lasted about 2 weeks. You need to set motion detection and motion sensitivity to its highest settings in order for it to, and this is still just hopefully, watch your home around the clock. This, in turn, will mean that you will need to charge the battery every 3 days. This is quite ridiculous, given that it takes about 8 hours for the battery to charge up (I did charge it for more than 24hrs before I first set it up). Overall, I really do not recommend it and wonder if it is worth to pay the monthly subscription to watch videos of myself..

una videocamera eccellente per chi cerca semplicità e versatilità perché si installa in pochi minuti senza dover passare cavi ed è perfetta sia per l'interno che per l'esterno. Il video in 1080p è molto nitido e l'integrazione con Alexa è immediata, permettendoti di vedere le immagini direttamente sui dispositivi Echo. Tuttavia devi considerare che per rivedere i video registrati è necessario pagare un abbonamento mensile e che dovrai ricaricare periodicamente la batteria interna a meno di non collegarla a un pannello solare opzionale. In sintesi è un prodotto solido e affidabile ma che dà il meglio di sé solo con il piano a pagamento.

Très bien, facile à installer et à utiliser.

Super Bild Qualität, einfaches Einrichten und Anbringen. Perfekte Nutzung per App. Auch leicht erweiterbar. Auch nachts perfekte Bilder. Reaktion ist perfekt.

Easy to install and good resolution. Very nice!

Además que instalarlas es facilísimo, la calidad de imagen es brutal. Puedes engancharla a la pared cambiando el pie de la base a la parte trasera y tiene 2 posiciones por la parte de atrás. Se ajusta súper bien, la batería dura un montón y la calidad es brutal. Además, puedes poner una sirena si quieres alejar a alguien o hablar, las recomiendo y estoy esperando que vuelvan a estar de oferta para comprar un par más!!
