Setup and Installation

Pros:

  • "Basically a plug and play device."
  • "It works great. It has a cover so I can just close it when I am home so I am not setting it off the whole time."
  • "I had no problems setting it up on my existing system. It was plug and play easy."
  • "Super easy set up even for the non-tech person."
  • "The camera was very easy to use and set up."
  • "Set up is simple."
  • "Setting up each camera and then activating them was a breeze!"

Cons:

  • "First of all I couldn't install it on the wall because the bottom lid wouldn't slide off."
  • "When it was time to renew my subscription, Ring raised the price and extra $40, which made it not worth continuing with Ring."
  • "For a camera that you'll probably want up high in a room, the cord is pretty short."
  • "If you want mounted in corner near ceiling to see entire room you'll have to get up their each time you leave and return to cover camera or be spied on."
  • "It took me a long time to get it connected."
  • "I bought this camera for my kids room on July 2023. At the beginning its was working OK but after couples weeks, it started to turned Off by itself."
  • "The camera doesn't record all motion and has a 2-5 minute delay between."

Design and Quality

Pros:

  • "Love that it is small, has a slide to close the camera, has a clear wide view. I can talk over it when I’m not home."
  • "It’s easy to use and has great video quality."
  • "The picture is clear and the sound quality is outstanding. It also provides a wide view!"
  • "They are small enough to not be obvious or clash with decor."
  • "The camera itself is so small but has a great wide view."
  • "This camera is small and cheap feeling and quality is horrible 7 feet away plus, you can make out the face and the person but if you needed to zoom on a detail, like seeing what's on your child's ipad- this will NOT do that."
  • "The camera itself is super light. It's likely the lightest security camera I've ever seen."

Cons:

  • "Literally sometimes jumping in front of camera and shows as off."
  • "This functions very similarly to the last generation. In fact, I can't really tell if there are any improvements at all other than the privacy cover."
  • "Great quality but if you're mounting it to your wall, it constantly falls off when you're opening and closing privacy shield."
  • "This camera needs to be much bigger and heavier."
  • "But the quality of the material it's made of is very poor."
  • "It’s an expensive camera and yet when dropped on carpet, it broke."
  • "Most importantly, the sound is very stuck and very quiet, whether in real-time live broadcast or recording."

Functionality and Performance

Pros:

  • "Once it’s finally connected, it works great."
  • "This cam is perfect for checking on pets while you are away."
  • "All in all, very pleased and definitely feel much more secure about my house when I’m not home."
  • "The Ring app offers a suite of robust motion detection features."
  • "It has great night vision, and the quality is much better than my older generation Ring cameras."
  • "This is pretty reliable, great sound, rarely ever stops live view for no reason."
  • "Provides great visibility when camera is triggered by a person entering room."

Cons:

  • "The customer support from Ring has been less than helpful and somewhat discourteous."
  • "After being idle for some time, it does not always detect motion."
  • "Doesn’t stay connected to the wifi, no matter how close it gets, and it doesn’t stay connected to power regardless of the outlet I use."
  • "Had issues only with the on and off Wi-fi connection for the camera in bedroom especially during 45 min power outage in the neighborhood."
  • "When using these 'security cameras', you can only view them 10 minutes at a time, then you have to go back and reconnect them every single 10 minutes."
  • "Works well when the sensor turns on but it seems to miss a lot of motion."
  • "There are major gaps in video recordings."

Value and Cost

Pros:

  • "These cameras were on sale for $40, which is a good deal."
  • "An absolute score that I got them @ 40% off."
  • "I bought this on sale and the price made it very competitive with other brand security systems."
  • "I got it when it was on sale for $30 and it’s worth it."
  • "For the price, I think it’s a pretty great little camera and I’m very happy with my purchase."
  • "To me it’s a great product, great price."
  • "They also offer a plan to store feeds for an extended time, and the price is reasonable."

Cons:

  • "You have to pay separate for the camera as well."
  • "Also, I have to pay a monthly subscription to get extended time."
  • "Ring has raised their price for saving videos to $4.99 per camera per month."
  • "The cost of the subscription has gone too high."
  • "Their top plan is $99 a month for several cameras and 24x7 monitoring and that gets steep."
  • "The security model used by Ring is to simply bait the consumer into providing Ring with a continuous / ongoing cash flow."
  • "The only thing I don’t like is that you need to pay a monthly subscription to be able to save what’s being recorded."

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

  • "I also love their software you can see immediately on your phone when someone is wondering around your house."
  • "I bought ring webcam from recommendation of our home security company. I am very happy with ring."
  • "I love the security my Ring system provides for my house."
  • "The security of these cameras if great, but the added benefit of keeping my father safe is priceless."
  • "I am absolutely in love with this camera."
  • "We’ve got many ring cameras and the clarity is excellent."
  • "Overall, the All-new Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) has exceeded my expectations, offering reliability, versatility, and peace of mind."

Cons:

  • "How do people use these? It's so annoying and the app is a cluster."
  • "Returning these and hopefully I can find the 1st Gen ones on Facebook marketplace or I'm going with a different company."
  • "The Ring Indoor Camera (Gen 2) is experiencing compatibility issues with Amazon's Eero products."
  • "RING picks and chooses when they want to and not want to record things."
  • "On each and every one of them they have intermittent connection issues."
  • "Seeing Amazon owns Ring, I expected better customer service from both and really expected better integration between the two."
  • "As far as customer service, it was useless to me when I was out of the country."
