Ring Stick Up Cam Battery review: This versatile security camera doesn't cost too much

This isn't Ring's first Stick Up Cam -- the first one I tested back in 2016 had some performance issues and the one after that cost too much for what you got. Ring's latest Stick Up Cam is priced at $100. Considering there are great cameras for just 20...

Ring dropped the price of its Stick Up Cam Battery to just $100 It has a simple app packed full of useful security features

You have to pay for cloud video storage, starting at $3 per month The Stick Up Cam Battery doesn't work with Google Assistant or Siri

I like the Stick Up Cam Battery. No, Ring still doesn't offer a free cloud storage option, and it isn't compatible with Google Assistant or Siri. But, this camera is solid and much more affordable than Ring's previous Stick Up Cam.

Ring Stick Up Cam Wired review: Good, not great

Ring's Stick Up Cam Wired is solid, but I'm holding out for free cloud video storage.

The $180 Ring Stick Up Cam Wired is easy to set up and use. I got responsive motion alerts and the detection zones worked well.

You can't use Google Assistant voice commands with this camera and you still have to pay for cloud video storage.

Ring's Stick Up Cam Wired is a fine camera, but better alternatives are out there.

This solar-powered security cam fails to outshine rivals

Despite its neat solar panel accessory, Ring's Stick Up Cam has fewer features than our favorite DIY security cameras.

It's weatherproofed for outside use and you can power it via its built-in rechargeable battery, the included USB adapter or a neat solar panel accessory.

Audio quality was spotty during testing. You have to pay for event-based cloud storage. Its 80-degree field of view doesn't cover very much ground and the live video stream often looked grainy in testing.

The Ring Stick Up Cam's flexible power sources give it real appeal, but other standalone DIY cameras offer more for less.

Ring Stick Up Cam

The Ring Stick Up Cam is a wireless outdoor security camera that installs in minutes and interacts with other smart home devices, but has a narrow field of view and requires a cloud subscription to view recorded video.

Sharp daytime video. Very easy to install. Completely wireless. Works other connected devices.

Narrow field of view. Requires cloud subscription to view recorded video. Two-way audio could be clearer.

Conclusions With the Ring Stick Up Cam you can monitor outdoor activity and view recorded video of events that are triggered by the camera's motion detector. It's completely wireless, takes minutes to install, and offers sharp and colorful 720p daytime...

Ring Stick Up Cam Review: Solar-powered security

There's a tricky balance to be struck when you're designing an outdoor security camera: do you go with the convenience of battery power, or the performance of wired? Ring 's Stick Up Cam attempts to straddle the two, offering the flexibility of a...

Ring Stick Up Cam Battery review: Inexpensive and reliable wireless video surveillance, indoors and out

The Ring Stick Up Cam, now in its third generation, can be deployed indoors or out. It operates on battery power, which means you can deploy it just about anywhere your Wi-Fi network can reach, and it can be connected to an optional but inexpensive...

Inexpensive outdoor surveillance, even with the optional solar panel added on 1080p resolution and very good night vision Tight integration with Ring’s broad home security ecosystem

Crude motion detection zones Subscription required to view recorded video Ring's web portal doesn't show live video

Ring doesn’t make the most sophisticated indoor/outdoor security camera, but the Stick Up Cam Battery packs a lot of value, especially for those who have bought into the broader Ring ecosystem.

Ring Stick Up Cam review: A companion camera for the Ring Video Doorbell

The weatherproof outdoor camera lets you keep an eye on the rest of your property.

Customizable motion-detection zones ; Live stream includes intercom feature ; 720p video

Narrow 80-degree field of view ; Can't view surveillance video clips without cloud subscription

The Stick Up Cam is an attractive outdoor camera that probably makes the most sense if you’re already invested in a Ring Video Doorbell. It’s easy to see how a few Stick Up Cams around the outside of your home with a video doorbell on your porch would...

Ring Stick Up Cam review: Keep an eye on your home 24/7

Home security from just about anywhere. An easy and simple way to keep your eyes on home 24/7 with the Ring Stick Up Cam.

Easy to install ; Easy to use ; Weather proof ; Solar option

Have to buy into Ring cloud services if you want saved video ; Design is a little large

Ring makes excellent products well worth the investment and the Ring Stick Up Cam is no exception. I recommend it if you’re looking for a security camera solution, but you’ll have to decide if the cloud services are worth the extra monthly charge.

Ring Stick Up Cam review: Stuck in the middle with you

Subscription costs and a lack of purpose keep Ring's portable camera from shining

Great battery life ; Solid daytime video quality ; Flexibility and portability of an indoor/outdoor device

Middling Assistant support ; Color night mode drains battery faster ; Requires a subscription for most functions

Maybe , as long as you have an idea for placement in mind before you buy. The Stick Up Cam is in a real strange spot. It’s the product in Ring’s portfolio that most clearly benefits from the addition of local recording, but adding that requires an...

Ring's Stick Up Cam Battery is a smart home security star

I really like the Ruing Stick Up Cam Battery. It's probably the easiest Wi-Fi camera I have used in terms of setup and the app is fantastic.

Easy to setup ; Excellent Ring app ; Lots of settings to tweak

Quite expensive ; Additional Protect Plans

I really like the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery. It’s probably the easiest Wi-Fi camera I have used in terms of setup, and the Ring app is easily one of the (if not the single) best security camera app on the market today. The only real downside of this...
