How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood value and usability
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 March 2023
The camera itself is pretty sturdy and small great for placing on shelves or in my case loft stairs, it comes with about a 1.5m/2m cable so could be a little longer but still ok. It also can be wall mounted using the base which is great and it has lots of movement to adjust it.

The picture quality is ok until you zoom in to see finer details but at this price point I’d say you aren’t going to get much better and it works perfectly for watching the inside of your house or as a little added security measure with its motion detection which works very well. I use it to watch over dogs while I’m away which it’s perfect for and nice that I can also listen in on them or even talk through the camera.

The app is very user friendly and is better than some high end security apps that I use for my cctv system. You can set up lots of different things for security such as recording, geo location, link with other ring security devices etc but one down side is that the app has a optional subscription fee which pretty much is required to get the most out of it but if all you want is a camera to live view from anywhere then this is perfect and I haven’t had any problems doing this at all and has proved reliable.

Overall I’m pleased as its a very handy camera and works perfectly as a live view camera It would be nice to see a higher picture quality version as I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more for that. Also providing a little longer power cable would be nice but guess you could just buy one if you needed it. Would buy again.

3.0 out of 5 starsPhone compatibility
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 February 2023
Unfortunately had to return this item as the app would not down load as my SAMSUNG Edge S7 was not compatible with the app. Having cgecked the spec prior to purchase nowhere does it state what Android version is required, mine is vetsion 8. All the tech help desk said was phone modles chabge and you need to ensure you have a compatible modle. Would be much more helpful if in the first instance there provided information explained the Andriod version required to run their product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used in garage
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 January 2023
Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
This is in the garage mostly to check if the door is open. Quality is good but the black car in night vision is practically invisible.

The automatic 30 day trial is fine but I don't want it as I don't want to record what is basically the inside of a box. Last time I bought a ring device the automatic trial mucked up my existing account. Hope this one goes better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Camera, poor sound!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 January 2023
Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
My only criticism is the talking feature is terrible. There does not seem to be any way of reducing the volume for talking into the camera. So when you do it's extremely loud and muffled. Not exactly ideal when its use is a baby monitor. Now i am not sure if this is a normal thing but that would be something that should be looked at.

It’s a great little camera my only issue is there is no sound detection and no off switch for when I am home, but other than that is a great little camera to monitor my dog when he’s home alone

4.0 out of 5 stars Initial impressions + Post thoughts
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 January 2020
Colour Name: WhiteVerified Purchase
Thought I'd post an initial impression post after recieving as there are no reviews or this yet. (Will post an update once tested)

**** Update following actual use ****
Much the same features as other Ring cameras in a smaller form factor, picture quality just as good.

Only odd thing I have noticed is that in records and live view there seems to be lag when motion occurs and movement appears slightly blurred and juddery. Odd as my other external ring cameras are on same VLAN and this when has stronger Wi-Fi signal, slightly different hardware I guess.

********
Initial post:

I currently have a ring pro doorbell and outside camera. Didn't really want to spend over £80 on a ring indoor camera though when basic indoor up cams can be picked up for around £20. So this seemed to meet the requirement at just under £50. Okay still twice the price of some China based cams you can pick up but I find the ring products including apps and service quite polished.

I intend on replacing the PIRs around my house (as part of old alarm system) with these. They are a lot smaller than the other ring cameras which is a good thing. What the description doesn't highlight is that these cameras are actually USB powered, the power supply included is a standard 5V USB one. This doesn't make integrating them and hiding wires as simple as having a standard power jack socket on the backs, but at least the wire isn't hard-wired into the camera so I do still have options.

I plan on having a central Alexa compatable mains relay switch powering a few of these, the idea being you can just say "Alexa turn on internal cameras". Alternatively you could use a smart socket to same effect. Unfortuantly this seems to be the only way you can easily turn the cameras on/off on a schedule. Who wants their life in house recorded 24/7!

Quite impressed with thought that's gone into design, like the fact the mounting bracket can be moved from bottom to side depending on mounting requirements. It's also a quick release base, so you can mount the base to the wall and just slide the camera on/off it as needed. (Useful as I see my wife complaining that I'm spying on her if left up permanently, even if off! Lol)

As with all web services, make sure you enable MFA (Multi Factor authentication) with ring to save someone unwanted logging into your account with your credentials!

4.0 out of 5 stars So far, not so good!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 July 2022
Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
After setting it up, it initially worked. I then took it to the place where it’s going to live, and now it will not power up. Occasionally I get a blue light but it never connects or anything. The app keeps saying the light should be flashing for setup but I’ve never seen it do this. Anyway, contacted support and they are sending out a replacement. Frustrating experience so far…

Edit, the replacement camera was sent out as soon as I told Amazon and I've had no issues since.

Works brilliantly! Although it is much easier to use the switch to switch camera power off when not in use than use the slider
