Ring Indoor Cam, Compact Plug-In HD security camera with two-way talk, Works with Alexa – Black By Innovative smart health home item for gift

★★☆☆☆ I am very disappointed in the functionality of this product.Having indoor security is a great thing but I do not wanna have to give up all of my privacy to get it. There are plenty of reasons why a person may not want to be recorded inside their home. Currently, you have no options for turning off the cameras from the app.After more than half an hour on the phone with customer support, they made it clear that there was no option for privacy except for physically unplugging the cameras. This is extremely impractical. My cameras, for instants, are mounted up at the ceiling and need a ladder to access. I'm sure that I do not need to give you examples of all the reasons that this would be problematic, since I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head.Another possible partial solution would be restricting what information shared users can see. Currently there don't seem to be any options at all about how much someone can see if you share your account with them. If they were option settings for sharing, I could decide how much they see. But there aren't.I am still deciding if I will be keeping these new cameras or not.

★★★★★  I am really impressed with this camera, and also own the Echo Show 5. The wide angle lens covers a lot of my living room. So happy I can monitor the activities of my 3 cats from the bedroom. Setup is a breeze if you have owned a Ring device. I also have the doorbell. ***** Highly Recommend this item as well as a great price.One thing that is a bit troubling is the volume on the cam does not appear to be adjustable and is rather loud and distorted. I have a support ticket in with Ring. Working smoothly with Windows 10 PC and also Android phone.

★★★★☆ Pros:CostDaylight videoEasy SetupCons:Hardware that comes with it will not mount into studs (screws too shallow).Power cord is a proprietary micro USB (plug recessed deep on the camera) so unable to use just any micro-usb plug.Night video has issues keeping everything in focus (blurry top of the screen)First and foremost, its a 60 dollar camera. The least expensive camera Ring has produced. I have the Doorbell Pro, and the floodlight camera watching the front and back of my house, so was excited to see a cheaper option to put one in my garage.The camera itself is incredibly small, almost the size of the ring doorbell itself. Setting it up was a breeze if you already have a Ring device. Took me 15 minutes to get the camera up and running and added to my existing Ring app.The video quality is on par with the other devices in the daylight. No complaints about that. The night vision however, seems like it has some issues. I've noticed that anything on the top of the screen comes off blurry and out of focus in night vision. I haven't experienced that with other ring cameras, and may be due to mounting the camera high on the wall and it having an issue keeping everything in focus. I know they increased the viewing angles on this model, so it may also have to do with that. Its purely speculation, but it is a 60 dollar camera, so not a deal breaker for me. Its not like Spiderman will be breaking into my garage.The biggest negative on this device however (and why I took away a star) is the hardware. The mounting screws are far too shallow to get through drywall and into a stud. So they include the anchors for drywall, and you will need to mount this into the anchors. This seems like a huge miss considering most Ring devices account for this and always have included the appropriate hardware.The other negative is the power cord. Six foot is hardly enough to work with. With the camera being powered with a micro-usb, if you're thinking "well just buy a longer usb cord", that won't work. The plug in on the back of the camera is far too recessed for anything other than the cord that it comes with. So unless you're looking to use a typical 120 extension cable, make sure you're planning on mounting this close to the outlet.
