Today I'll show you guys the Ring Spotlight camera - the battery powered version. I went and bought the bundle that includes the solar panel so that the battery will be continously charged. I will show the unboxing, the features, setup, installation, settings and some video footage at the end.

Now, I also have the wired version of this Spotlight Camera which I liked and it is permanently monitoring my back patio. I want another camera that will monitor my backyard but there is no power outlet nearby so I waited for the battery version to come out and see if it stacks up to it's continuously powered brother.

Now, let's talk about features. So this camera is battery powered which supposedly will last 6-12 months before it needs recharging.
It has 1080p HD video and has 2 way communication.
It has a wide angle lens with 140 degree field of view.
It has a PIR sensor for motion detection and is adjustable
It has a manually activated 110 decibel alarm
It has a LED motion activated Spotlights - now, this is somewhat misleading though because this is far from being a spotlight..this has more of a diffused light which is not really bright - 700 lumens according to Ring.
It is weather resistant -20 to 120 degrees
It is a Wifi camera and only connects to a 2.4 GHz Wifi.

This Solar panel is different from what they sell for their stickup cam. This is specifically made for the Spotlight Camera.
It is 7.5 x 6 inches and has a 1 and a quarter inch thickness.
It provides 2 watts and 5 volts.
It will only need a few hours of direct sunlight to keep the battery fully charged.
