You also didn't mention that they are super cute!!

I'm using the Ring cameras and security system and I installed quite a few cameras recently as we had a security scare.

If @steevc is interested:

Ring pros:

  • Super easy to set up and use
  • Owned by Amazon so probably not going anywhere anytime soon
  • Quite advanced motion detection settings, very configurable with areas you want to ignore, privacy areas etc.
  • With the Stick up cam you can connect to it and actually talk through it - so you can kind of use it as a remote way to talk to someone in your house from your phone - possible fun uses of this and/or scare away an intruder??

Ring Cons:

  • I do have to change the battery in the one covering the front of our house every 1-2 weeks at the moment. But I have set it to record every single piece of motion in front of our house. That means anyone that walks past, any deliveries, any cars, any pets etc so maybe that's reasonable. You can get a solar panel for it so I might look at that for that particular camera. All the other cameras last over a month. I also only set it like this for the time being because of the aforementioned security scare - I don't really want to record people unnecessarily because I want to respect their privacy.
  • Owned by Amazon and do they really need any more of our money!
  • You can use it without the cloud subscription but it's kind've geared up so you are pretty limited without it. No option to store on a local hard drive.

The option to store on local drive is a big feature. I actually never use it, but I'm happy it's there for when they decide to start charging me for the cloud storage.

Yes, they're designed very well and look really cute.😀
