Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the camera and your phone talking to each other, but it’s an easy and hassle-free process generally.

Setup wise it’s the same as other Ring devices – scan the QR code on the back and it’ll link up seamlessly. The camera will automatically switch to night mode when needed, and again, provides more than adequate quality for most uses. There’s not much to complain about when it comes to the audio and video quality, which as we’ve found with many of Ring’s products we’ve tested, is excellent and provides crisp sound and visuals in both day and night modes. The battery option has a slightly narrower field of view, at 115 degrees rather than 150 degrees, but we didn’t necessarily think this was a big issue.īoth versions work in an almost identical way, although one plus if using the wired version plugged into your modem via an ethernet connection is that you don’t need to be too concerned with how far the wifi stretches.

There are two versions to choose from – battery or wired – but if you’re putting the camera outside, we liked the fact that it can be powered via an ethernet at distances of up to 100 metres, which is a real plus. We tested the device primarily on a flat surface in our home, using the inbuilt customisable motion detection that we’ll discuss in a bit more detail later on in this article, but the camera is also weatherproof and can be mounted outside too if needs be. We also liked the built-in spirit level – perhaps unnecessary attention to detail but a nice touch, all the same. On first impressions, what we really liked about the Ring stick up cam was the way the stand could flip around and be used as a mount to attach it to the wall if required.
