Ring Outdoor Security Camera, 2-Pack, weather-resistant

This outdoor security camera set contains two Ring Outdoor Cams (Stick Up Cams) Battery in white, each measuring 6 x 6 x 11.7 cm and weighing 354 g. Both units run on a rechargeable battery pack, so no mains cable is needed where they are placed. The bundle covers two positions on a property, and each camera connects to the Ring app over Wi-Fi.

Checks before you mount either camera

Each camera is built for outdoor use, and the bracket that comes with it fixes to a wall or rests on a flat surface. A ceiling position is not covered by the supplied bracket: the ceiling bracket for the Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) is sold separately and is required for that arrangement.

Setup needs a Wi-Fi connection and an inserted battery pack. Two app features, scrolling back through recorded history and intelligent alerts, need a compatible Ring Protect subscription, which is sold separately.

What the bundle contains

• Two Ring Outdoor Cams (Stick Up Cams) Battery
• One mounting bracket per camera
• A rechargeable battery pack for each unit

How each camera works day to day

Live View and Two-Way Talk carry sound both ways, so someone at the other end of the app can be seen, heard and answered. The Ring app shows the feed at any time, and one camera or several can be linked to the same app.

Placing a camera takes two steps: insert the battery pack and connect the unit to Wi-Fi. The mounting bracket allows a wall fixing, while the flat base of the camera can stand on a ledge or table instead. A ceiling mount calls for the separately sold ceiling bracket for the Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam).

Footage from earlier can be reviewed and alerts that describe what is happening arrive when a compatible Ring Protect subscription is active, sold separately. Works with Alexa: an Echo Dot can play custom notifications, an Echo Show can start the video feed, and select Alexa-enabled devices allow hands-free monitoring.

Battery and power

The cameras are battery-powered and designed for outdoor use, with a rechargeable battery in each unit. Because the pack is rechargeable, it is taken out and charged rather than replaced with disposable cells. Reviewers have had mixed experiences: several mention that setup went smoothly, several praise the picture, four report poor battery life and two describe trouble with the app connection.
