One of the great strengths of the Ring app is the personalisation of the cameras. The best element is the main view for each camera, which not only gives one-tap access to a live feed but also enables you to scroll through the incident history for that camera – meaning you can check what happened during the day very easily. The Ring app gives you access to all your Ring devices through one dashboard. The app itself is highly intuitive and takes around five minutes to set up – naming the camera, adjusting the motion zone, setting up notifications and so on. The cable connecting to the mains will need clipping to the wall. The camera itself then connects onto the mount. Ring even supplies its own screwdriver and bits for the purpose, and takes no more than 10 minutes to fix on an external brick wall. Installing the camera mount itself is straightforward. This helps with ease of installation but we felt was a potential weakness (after all, what’s stopping someone unplugging it?) so decided to get it hard wired by an electrician. The wired cam actually doesn’t need wiring in at all – it comes with a mains plug so can be plugged into an outdoor socket.
Don’t forget – Ring also sell the cameras in value packs so it might be worth investing in complete garden coverage. The first step is to decide where the camera will serve you best – usually overlooking the driveway or a dark back garden. You’ll need to put aside around 30 to 60 minutes to set up the Ring Spotlight Cam. (Image credit: Ring) How easy is it to set up?
