You have to pay subscription for this?
Yes. Subscription is required for all features except for live view (i think)
A subscription isn't required; Ring will still send alerts and allow you to view a live feed of the camera's feed, but you will lose out on access to any recordings without a subscription.
That's half the reason for a camera… shame.
no sd card slot ?
Damn, wanted this one but instead got the smaller battery one plus a solar panel from Amazon smile promotion for about the same cost.
Should gave waited . Have purchased 2 of these previously and they are great . The light though is blinding when trying to drive towards it.
Yeah some guy on youtube was saying this one was a fair bit better. You can just return the amazon one if it hasn't arrived yet
Yep , both arrived last week
FYI, this one needs to be hard wired so you may need a sparky to come out whereas the one you bought is pretty much DIY, drill a few holes in the wall and attach. I use both, the flood lights for my driveway and the spotlight camera for the backyard.
Is it safe / lawful if I run the cable through a gap around garage roll door to powerpoint (inside the garage)?
Can you run it through conduit? I would, and if i couldn't i'd just drill a hole in the brick mortar and run it through, then seal with sikaflex or similar.
You can turn the light down.
We did with ours on our driveway.
How is the eco system for these products?
Well the web software is now more reliable opening a live view, it used to time out a lot.
Why does this product look like Wall-E ?
Because you mount it on your Wall-ay.
…
I thought it looked like Roberto from Futurama.
The clamps!
Want something like this but no subscription
The Eufy flood light is a pretty good alternative.
I have really bad experience with Eufy's after sale service. The floodlight isn't working as it should after 1 year and all 3 emails to their customer service team went unanswered
Very happy with the eufy floodlight.
No evidence of it happening in Australia.
Only if said law enforcement shoots you without a good cause.
"Weatherproof"
That is not a useful description.
It's IP65 according to the sticker on mine.
Thanks
Going on 3 years and all mine are in the rain, 2 of them are on West and North Western walls and cop the intense sun also. They look and work just like the day i installed them.
Also the Ring Protect Plus plan has unlimited cameras, and a lifetime warranty on the hardware if you keep the subscription active.
I've had one on a exposed (rain, sun) north facing wall and it is working fine without any attention after 3 years.
On the subscription, it is worth it to have access to current and historical footage from anywhere using a mobile phone. I can be interstate and check why movement detection has gone off. I've spoken to people remotely through the camera too.
You pay $179.40 for a recording device whose manufacturer sells its footage to cops. Why would you do that?

sells its footage to cops
If you're going to make claims like that at least post evidence to back it up. I've never seen anyone suggest that Ring/Amazon were making money out of that scenario.
thanks OP got 3. It was a little annoying that I had to do 3 diferent transactions to get the discount, but still a good discount :)
Thats annoying…. the store I bought might at were happy to put them all through on one transaction…. they just needed to scan the barcode 3 times….
Have installed quite a few of these for clients, and the hardware aspect of the unit is very good, I cant speak about the software side of them, as thats been on the clients phone. I picked one up on this sale, so it should be fun to play with. Only one has ever failed for a client, he contacted Ring support who did the troubleshooting on his unit for him online, confirmed it was still in warranty and shipped him out a new unit - easily dealt with apparently.
Subscription kills the deal
Totally. What is the point of having this if I have to pay a subscription to access the recordings? I refuse to pay a subscription for a flood light which means it essentially just becomes a very expensive light.
It still works as a camera without a subscription, so it's not just a very expensive light.
The subscription gives you access to real time and historical footage and alerts from anywhere using a mobile phone. Totally worth it.
It is risky to capture footage locally to a device or SD card and doesn't help you if someone burns down your house.
Depends what you are using your cameras for and what you expect them to do. There are also some pretty significant down sides to systems without a cloud service.
While these aren't for everyone, they do suit many people and many people see the value in the subscription.
Depends what you are using your cameras for…
And what do you think people are using security cameras for?
Kind of useless is if all your footage is on a SD card or a hub inside your house and, oh I don't know, the property floods and you lose everything, or your house burns down, or a theif smashes the camera and SD card.
For many people it makes a lot of sense to have a cloud account to store the footage. If it doesn't suit you, that's fine, don't buy it. But don't assume every other person on the planet has the same requirements and expectations as you.
property floods and you lose everything, or your house burns down…
People don’t use home security cameras to monitor floods and fire.
@MuddyClear: What? If someone deliberately set fire to your house or business and burnt it to the ground, you wouldn't want to know who it was?
I'm confused…
I'm confused…
Same.
The property floods and you lose everything…
How often does someone deliberately set floods to your house?
@MuddyClear: Good see we agree on the fire thing.
You're missing the point on the flood thing. If there were recordings you needed, they'd be gone.
This may be hard to fathom but cloud storage has value for many people. Something like security footage is potentially very important and many people would be happy to pay more for a reliable, user friendly service to ensure their footage always accessible and can't be lost or destroyed. Again, if that isn't important to you, fine, buy whatever you want.
Good see we agree on the fire thing.
No, I don’t believe people buy home security cameras to monitor fires
You're missing the point on the flood thing.
Nope. And again I don’t believe people buy home security cameras to monitor floods either. It is primarily used to monitor thieves and break-ins. And local storage of footage is adequate for most amateur/opportunistic thieves. Sure there is value in cloud storage for some, but it’s mostly a waste of money.
@MuddyClear: Sorry, I didn't realise you are the authority on the reasons why most people buy things.
I can see that you either aren't listening to what I'm saying, or you aren't comprehending it. So I won't waste any more energy on this. Have a great day.
Sorry, I didn't realise you are the authority on the reasons why most people buy things.
I don’t need to be an authority to know it’s not a common use case. You have a great day also.
@MuddyClear: You are seriously deluded if you don't think people want to keep their surveillance footage safe from natural disasters. You either have a reading comprehension problem or are so utterly out of touch with reality it's ridiculous.
You are seriously deluded if you don't think people want to keep their surveillance footage safe from natural disasters.
In comparison to monitoring thieves it’s not a common use case - A study shows it’s like 2% worldwide.
You either have a reading comprehension problem or are so utterly out of touch with reality it's ridiculous.
Quite the opposite.
@MuddyClear: Delusion and reading comprehension for sure
In comparison to monitoring thieves it’s not a common use case - A study shows it’s like 2% worldwide.
Go and read it again. No one is comparing it to surveillance for thieves. They are protecting any footage from natural disasters and damage by having an off site back up set up through a cloud system. This is an extremely common usage. Off site back up is the recommended course of action.
Go and read it again. No one is comparing it to surveillance for thieves.
Take your own advice and read the entire thread.
No one is comparing it to surveillance for thieves.
Wrong. Read again
Off site back up is the recommended course of action.
Not at all. Local backup is perfectly fine when done right.
@MuddyClear: Wombat said

ie they are saying if all of your footage is lost due to a flood or fire. Then you, the reading challenged individual you are, started going on about monitoring floods and fires.
People don’t use home security cameras to monitor floods and fire.
Which was not stated at all. You are inventing your own conversation in your head and then responding to that. So yes, that is the absolute definition of garbage reading comprehension. So now you are still hopelessly terrible at reading- or realise you are wrong, and are more stubborn than 3 year old. You are no where near as intelligent as you think you are. Not even close. It is embarrasing.
…started going on about monitoring floods and fires.
Because security cameras are generally not used to monitor floods and fire, and is also not a good reason for using cloud storage. This has been mentioned multiple times now yet you fail to comprehend, just like Wombat…
[ People don’t use home security cameras to monitor floods and fire.] Which was not stated at all.
It’s my responding statement as mentioned above. So it’s clear now that you can’t comprehend despite reading the thread again!
@MuddyClear: nah that's you mate. keep going though, it's hilarious seeing how embarrassing and sad you are.
@ONEMariachi: Forget it. Old mate will never admit that he/she isn't the world wide authority on security camera use. Too stubborn.
@justtoreply: You can but that requires knowledge, skill and effort and it's not a dedicated service so it won't be as user friendly. All that has value.
Exactly, for a lot of people the Ring system with cloud storage is perfect. I've been running it 3 years with several cameras, i have lifetime warranty on all devices with the subscription. You also don't need to buy an additional hub like some systems.
The Ring cameras work with Alexa, when motion is detected i have a live view thumbnail pop up on both TV's automatically with the option to view it full screen. I also have various Philips Hue lamps around the house and beside the bed and have them flash a different colour depending on what camera was triggered. So even with my phone on silent I'm still alerted.
So for me the subscription is money well spent. All my cameras i've picked up on sales and clearance so all up i'm extremely happy with it. I do have a Genbolt camera with SD storage i got to test, it's ok but not as good as the Ring.
Actually not bad if you have a few camera's/doorbell… The lifetime replacement warranty comes in handy.
Just like with printers…the replacement ink cartridges is what they’re are really selling
Does anyone knows if this camera is ONVIF-compatible?
Ring says other onvif cameras can be link to Ring Edge but there is no mention if Ring camera supports onvif so we can record video in NAS
Very useful for the northern Victoria region right now.
