Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The floodlight cam has many settings to help narrow down your preferences in what the camera picks up. The problem with that is that those settings are not as accurate as they look, more on that later. Installation and setup is very thought out and simple! Packaging is great. Sharing access to your Ring products is great! When you share access, that person sets up their own account and cannot mess with the settings of your camera/s. —updated— After a few months of ownership here is what I know-- Motion settings: there is about a 30-40 foot limit to set off the camera (day or night), stray headlights or lights reflecting off any shiny object will trip the camera/light at night (so no parking near the floodlight if cars will drive by). The "area" settings are cool but fairly inaccurate. The camera view looks nice on your devices but trying to see anything specific (faces, license plates, etc)past about 10 feet, especially if it's moving, isn't happening. The sound doesn't start until about 3-5 seconds into the video. The video's are skippy/laggy with our home network excellent and our ISP connection very good(1Gb service). Customer Service wasn't helpful VIA email, they really wanted to talk on the phone which isn't the best way for the hearing impaired to communicate(me). Summary: Ring Floodlight is ok for general safety and alerting you when someone or something is within range but they're not sufficient for identifying anything specific. Getting the settings right for both daytime & nighttime isn't easy. The premise for the Ring products is a good one bit the hardware/technology needs major updating to deal with todays technology. After a few months I'm still needing to change settings almost daily (the day/night differences mainly). Also there’s no notification of software/performance changes when they happen which is NOT good. Some changes in the last few months completely changed how the light functions and I had no idea. Suggested enhancements: add a brightness setting (a setting that lowers or raises the brightness of the camera). Times when the sun is shining directly, or nearly direct, into the camera makes it very difficult to see past about 10 feet. Fine tune the camera's light sensitivity at night to help stop the detection of indirect lights (far off headlights reflecting off a windshield or shiny car paint sets off the lights). This is a security issue because at night passing cars can tell it's there when they set off the floodlights. Notify customers of camera updates!!!!
