I have a Ring Spotlight Camera out in front of our house, on the soffit of a shed where it will catch what is coming down the driveway.
I have noticed over the last several months that the catch can be hit or miss, sometimes it's good, other times it's the tail end of the Amazon/UPS truck/etc.
Tuesday night there were two deer coming across in front of it, it picked them up late in the game and then froze the screen after 12-15 seconds and then went black for 2 minutes.
Yes, spiders, stuff blowing around in storms and wild rain set it off and it's annoying. You'd think those software programmers could eliminate that by now.
I really liked the Ring cameras (spotlight cameras) when they came out. Easy to install, connect to wifi, various means of powering them, all simple, easy and nearly anyone could do it. Good service out of them, clear picture, etc.
Seems like all of that has gone downhill and the quality of service is in the garbage. These things aren't cheap, I have $500 in two cameras and a solar panel, plus $60? a year in storage fees.
