Certified Refurbished Ring Spotlight Cam Wired

Simple set up, great clarity, lots of settings, intuitive to use, solid mounting system and good product support. I've owned Ring cameras for a long time (for years before Amazon acquired them in 2018. I own 7 Ring cameras including these spotlight cams, a couple of doorbell cams and one interior cam. The quality of Ring products in general has increased incrementally over the years since Amazon dished out $1 billion for them in 2018. Ironically, the geniuses on "Shark Tank" passed on funding Ring when it was a startup in 2013! The founder, Jamie Siminoff literally laughed all the way to the bank. Pro/Con of this spotlight corded model: -Simple initial camera set up -Clear image, night and day -Great adjustability via the app settings for lights, camera, motion and overall device data -Easy outdoor installation IF you have the right stuff on hand -Great cloud recording that has a flat yearly rate for 4+ cameras (I have 7 cameras) -Far better support these days than the pre-2018 merger -App works great -Camera quality overall has increased greatly since the original "Doorbell" cameras were launched. Those early doorbell models could be an enormous pain to set up, power up and install in general and there were a lot of defective models in circulation - not anymore. I've bought 4 "refurbed" Spotlight cameras and all were perfect. Con: -You need really solid WIFI bandwidth, an up to date modem and good proximity from the camera to the modem. Many of the 1 & 2 star reviews stem from lack or proper bandwidth, a junky modem or too much distance between the camera and the modem. I upped my WIFI to Verizon FiOS 1GB plus the newest FiOS modem (that's key - 1GB with an outdated modem is pointless) and all my cameras work great. BUT, if you don't have those fundamentals, you can/will have massive problems. -You need an available power outlet outside to plug this in unless you "customize" the power cord (I did that). I had to cut the 2 pronged plug off my camera to thread the wire from the outside of my home to the inside of the garage where my power source is located and then attach an after market 2 pronged plug. Not an issue for me but it could be for some folks so think ahead about your own installation or have it done professionally if you lack that Liam Neeson - like "particular set of skills". Overall, Ring cameras are vastly improved and work really well. It's impossible to address all exterior installation challenges and they do exist so be aware and prepare ahead of time. Hope that helps!
