We have been long time Ring Customers starting with the Ring Doorbell/Camera, door/window sensors, along with Smoke/Fire/CO2 alarms. We recently decided to incorporate an indoor camera. It was a great value and easy to incorporate into our home security network. Great Job Ring.
Crystal clear whole back sliding doors in great room. Sitting high on kitchen cabinet one gets every inch of a wide large great room. Bought a second one both in black blends better than stark whits
I purchased to watch pool area from inside thru a window. During the day the vision is very good. At night, especially with lights on in the house, vision is about zero. For use inside only would be fine. I will need to get an outdoor camera for nights.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi MikeJ.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We understand how important it is for your Ring Indoor Cam to function consistently and reliably. Being able to see who is at your home at any time of day is an essential feature of the Ring Indoor Cam. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.
It sounds like your device is not providing the image you want through a window at night. When your Ring Indoor Cam is facing a window, you will want to make sure your Indoor Cam’s infrared light is toggled off in the Ring app to avoid any glare from the window. The infrared light control is in your Ring app under Video Settings. When your infrared light is turned off, you will need to ensure the area your device is monitoring has another light source, such as a porch light.

We bought the outside camera and two inside cameras that plug in. Our handyman/electrician connected them to our phones so we see any activity on our phones. We really like the whole setup!
I bought these cameras as a replacement for another system that stopped working. Setup was fairly easy. Two cameras set right up. I had to reboot my wifi in order to set up the other two. Took a lot longer, but they are working now. Good notification, good pictures, both day and night.
It is just what I needed and I like it, BUT I can’t stop its constant output of person detected messages. You either get blasted with messages or not at all. I wanted a camera to show me the inside of the house when I’m not at home and not so much when I’m home. I can’t control the thing. I see no way to play strong when I’m not home and not when I’m home. It notifies me when I’m in the field of view.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Buck65.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
We understand the importance of having relevant notifications from your Ring Indoor Cam. The features and technology provided by the Ring Indoor Cam are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely assist you with this today, and we are confident we can find the correct settings for your home’s environment.
It sounds like you are getting too many notifications when you are home. You can use modes to control the behavior of your security cameras, video doorbells, and Ring alarms. Modes are settings in the Ring app that can control the behavior of all of your Ring devices. The idea is to configure your cameras and doorbells to protect your home in different ways, depending on your current needs.
Select Home Mode when you want the outside cameras or doorbells of your house activated but want to be able to move freely around the inside of your home. You can decide whether or not each of your cameras detects motion.
Select Away Mode to fully secure your house when you leave. You can set all of your cameras, both inside and out, to record your home in this mode. You can decide whether or not each of your cameras or doorbells detects motion.
