I only used this once while I was out for the day. There wasn't any movement for it to capture while I was out, so it only got me as I was walking out and coming back in when I returned home. It appeared to be working fine for the limited time it was used.
I plugged in the camera and connected the camera in minutes. I don't like that the camera only faces one direction. So it went back
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi TacoCat05.
Thank you for sharing this feedback with us.
We understand the importance of having all relevant product information prior to purchasing. 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 provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.
It sounds like there was some confusion regarding the field of view the Ring Indoor Cam offers. The Ring Indoor Cam features a 143-degree diagonal, 115-degree horizontal, and 59-degree vertical field of view. Ring Indoor Cam can be mounted anywhere indoors on its own stand or mounted to a wall or ceiling. This allows you to find the best location for an optimal view of the area you want to monitor.

I bought this indoor cam to monitor my little Cody. He’s a 16-year-old bichon Yorky mix who started to have seizures. So worried what was going on when we were not home I got this indoor cam to monitor him while we’re not home. So now we can keep an eye on him and not worry if he’s OK. Best investment we could’ve made.
I like the Indoor Cam. I have 2 of these. They do a good job looking over things. I was glad I bought the Ring cameras and Doorbell. They are helpful in keeping an eye on my house.
I bought it due to price. I had a Gen 1 that I really like. Gen 2, while works fine, is but a shell of the Gen 1. Does not stay in place due to light weight of product(plastic v metal), but it adequate for our use. Using at 2nd home, is able to be added to current phone app so both places can be viewed, but it's a bit obnoxious that one has to have a separate account(ie, pay more) to continue recordings. Setup process was a breeze. Again, operation is marginal due to quality/weight of item. Camera seems adequate. Would recommend to those knowing what they're really buying depending on their need. I'd rather have a Gen 1 at the same price.
Setup was extremely easy. All you need to do was scan the code and it gets added to your ring account (if you already have one). But be wary if you have spotty internet connection. Also everyone needs to know this is another one of those dreadful subscription-based services. It is not a standalone camera nor you can use it as a regular ip cam. You have to subscribe and pay a monthly/yearly fee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Short dog.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concerns mentioned in your review.
It sounds like there was some confusion regarding the requirements for the device. The Ring Indoor Cam is compatible with b/g/n wifi networks operating on 2.4 GHz frequencies and requires a minimum upload speed of 2 Mbps for optimal performance.
The Ring Protect Plan is a subscription that gives you access to paid features for Ring devices such as video doorbells, cameras, alarm, and Car Cam. With a Ring Protect Plan, you can save, review, and share video recordings from your Ring devices to your Ring account.
Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events.
