Absolutely love this camera! It exceeded my expectations. I figured with so many features, there had to be something that wouldn't work as expected. But sure enough, it all currently works nearly flawlessly. This is as close to 100% perfection as I'm going to find.Why did I give it only 4 stars? Maybe I skimmed too much of the product information, but I wanted to use the Echo Show 2 that I purchased separately to monitor the camera feed all day. But I found out that when I had the camera view on the Live stream, it would end the stream after about 10 minutes automatically. I tried to find answers as to what was wrong. Why is it ending the Live stream after this amount of time? I have to keep telling Alexa to show me the camera after 10 minutes. Still can't find the answer to this except that this is just a feature of the system. The official site mentions that it is part of the programming. It is not designed to show the Live feed for longer than 10 minutes straight. I'm stuck with that one little flaw. And this is true with watching it on my iPhone and desktop as well.But I'm not entirely disappointed because I still love the other features so much and how well they work so far. It's only been 24 hours since I installed it, however. The floodlight senses motion fine and covers more distance than I expected. The clarity in the distance is much better than I expected. The view is much wider than I expected. The camera notifies me specifically in the area I requested better than I expected. Gah, at all the positives! I'm so very happy with this purchase and can't wait to order more cameras and the doorbell in the coming months.RING Flood Cam Wire Plus reviewMy order arrived sooner than scheduled. The support from RING has been excellent and they answer the phone 24/7.I chose the wired unit for reliability and a white one because of our Phoenix Arizona hot sun.I installed it vertically on the outside wall of my garage, about 8 feet from the floor of the driveway, facing my 2-car driveway and street. I ran a 3-wire round power cord from an AC outlet in the ceiling of the garage – about 15 feet to the wall. Measuring the location of where the unit is to be mounted is VERY important. I carefully calculated where the hole would be drilled through the exterior wall and stucco to the inside of the garage wall. I bought a 12” x 3/8” concrete drill bit and plastic 4” round box.The hole through the wall had to be reamed out a little for the power cord to easily get through the hole, a 7/16” or ½” bit would have been better. After drilling the hole through about 13” of stucco and wood for the extension cord, I cut the plug off and poked it through to the outside. I mounted the 4” plastic round box with long screws, stripped the cord and 3 wires and wired it up per instructions.The next morning, I discovered one of two tabs broke off on the plastic 4” round box and the unit was hanging with only the wire and the bottom tab. DO NOT USE A PLASTIC 4” Round Box. I bought a metal 4” round box and rewired and remounted the unit onto the wall. Be sure to use proper screws for mounting the 4” Round Box to the wall or surface.The unit is very heavy and there are only 2 tabs on the round box to attached it to whatever surface its being mounted on. The metal 4” Round Box with ½” threaded outlets comes with the screw plugs for the holes that will not be used.The panhead screws that came in the unit for mounting the metal bracket to the round box were too high and did not allow the unit to seal completely with the foam rubber gasket against the 4” round box. I used two Truss-head screws. Again, the unit is heavy, so be very careful when handling and mounting it.I sealed the 4” round box to the stucco wall with liquid nail to prevent rain from getting into the power cord and into the back of the unit. I painted round box and touched up the stucco.Now the functions and performance… I’m disappointed in the resolution of the image when zoomed in to enlarge the image of a person. The camera apparently does not have lenses, so the depth of field is very small. The feature to physically select the motion detect area is nice. The app is a little confusing to use but after playing with it, it’s works fine. The on-off selectable motion alarm is interesting. It has a recorded female voice that says “Hi, you are currently being recorded” when the motion detect is triggered.Overall, this unit is well worth the price and the time to install it. It has provided a nice level of comfort for added outside home security and links with my RING doorbell. I will know more about its environmental quality after a couple summers and rainy seasons. I subscribed to the Plus option for $100/year with video recording of all devices at home. I get shared neighborhood alerts on security issues that RING products detect which is nice to know what is happening around our area.Customer Feedback to RING: I suggest you revise your installation video to state to only use a Metal 4” Round Box and replace the panhead screws with a flatter head screw. Also, the resolution with a zoomed in image is very important for visual identification. Please improve this in future revisions of this product. I would pay extra for improved resolution.Relying on wifi is not what it's cracked up to be. First of all, if I could go back I would not have started with Ring. It's not worth the hassle of waiting 30 min to an hour for tech support when you've been on with them for days for the same issue! Over and over. They will warranty the item, but you have to pay for installation again! This camera does what it's supposed to for the most part. I've had to reset all of them a few times which took a couple of hours. Update: I had to go out of town for two days and leave my dog behind at the house with a pet sitter coming in. I was able to watch him in between her visits. I could talk to her through the cameras while she was there. The cameras did their job. It was a much source of comfort for me. I have 2 cameras outside and two inside. One upstairs with the cats and one downstairs with the dog. One at the front of the house and one on the side. A chime notifies me of motion on outdoor cameras. I know when someone is coming down my driveway. The camera sees it and it rings the chime. The dogs have learned that when the chime goes off, someone is coming! It's actually pretty cool. I just wish when there was a problem that it was easier to get a hold of customer support. It's a major downside. I still haven't had the new doorbell installed yet. It was only in for 3 months and it needed replacing. I have to pay another visit from the electrician which wasn't in the budget! I still don't know if I'd buy Ring again. I'd def look into other options first.This camera is much better than the Ring doorbell I have. Motion pick up is good, though when it sees my dog it tells me a person is there (and yes I have the smart settings turned on).The light from the camera, mounted at about 7’ is good enough for my small back yard and the immediate area is flooded well. It’s not a long throw flood light.Signal strength and uptime is also much improved from the doorbell.
