Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been hordeing the older wired stick up cams so I can have the pre/roll, ect but now it looks like thats no longer needed. Wish Ring would make these announcements/news a little easier to find but until then I’ll be getting all my Ring news here.
I think a POE ring sick up cam would’ve been a better choice then a Wired sick up cam, that’s my opinion. I’ve been fan of your channel since you started, keep up the good work.👏👏
For sure, POE can't be beat. I think the vast majority of users don't have a server and have to rely on home wi-fi, though. Wish I could wire my Ring devices with POE.
Excellent video as always @Lifehackster that was an excellent clear view i could see right out over the road..shows want a great little camera it is Thank you. And I'd like to wish You and your family a Happy New year when it comes with love from me and my Family.👍✌🍻🇬🇧
Nice and easy install..only downfall is if you have a power outage you lose connection to that cam...I have all my main power cams on power backups which last for up to 6hrs of power..
If you have your router on battery backup or have the Ring Alarm Pro (has backup internet) then you can leave the battery on the camera and it will still work when power is out.
@@LifeHackster that's my main question. If power goes out, will it switch automatically to battery? If that's the case. If I plan on wiring the camera, is there a reason why I should go with the wired one instead of the battery? It sounds like the battery powered is better because it will work when the power is out.
I subbed. I seen a couple of your reviews on Amazon when I purchased this camera. I also just ordered the pan tilt for it with the wires to plug it in. Should be cool.
Hope you do some reviews on Aqara products. With Ring increasing rates, it would be nice to see other alternatives that don't require monthly/yearly fees.
You can if you want to but it is not necessary. If your router has battery backup, then you can leave the battery so that it will still work when power is out.
I love my ring stick up cam wired but I do wish the zones worked independently and here's an example I would like to have zone one the street and zone 2 my driveway in front door so the camera will pick up a car coming into the driveway then when the person gets out of the car the camera detects a person in zone 2 but it doesn't work that way so I have to just use person only and Hope it picks up the person
@@LifeHackster Many people and I are having problems with it. It always stays on DIM mode from dusk until dawn the next night, but never brightens up unless you reset the schedule everynight, then it works properly. Is there a fix to this? It will work initially, but the brighten up mode from dawn will not work the next day.
I'm looking to do the same thing myself, so I appreciate the video. My only question is whether running the power cord in the attic is a safety hazard?
Really liked thus video, please let me know if I still need to have the battery in or I can take out the battery out since I would already have it wired.
Hi, excellent, easy to follow video! I want to know if I can use wiring on the outside of my house installed for lights to power a stick up cam, rather than a power cord to an outlet, which isn’t available. Thanks for your help!
Lets say i purchased an extra battery and i disconnect the ring solar panel , will i have the option to choose wire mode and let it run on just the battery? Will the ring stick up cam detect that there is no power adapter and won't let me choose wire option? I asked because i purchased an extra battery since the solar panel is draining my battery slowly. Please let me know. Thank you!
Eufy or reolink idk which one to go with. I like how eufy has hidden cameras so it's not so obvious it's a camera at first. But reolink seems like it's more commercial so i feel like it's better quality. Why don't all brands make the cameras more hidden in their fixtures?
I noticed you have an aftermarket security camera there. I also have an aftermarket home camera system in 10 locations outdoors, but those cameras are COAX and quality is horrible. Do you think the power going to those cameras can be used to power the ring cam? I have access to each Pos/Neg power cord to each camera. I am wondering if there is a way to send the correct power requirements to the camera, and instead connect that power to the Ring Stickup cam. Any suggestions?
Go with NVR and not DVR analog systems... compare the quality to the Ring -> ruclips.net/video/L5raQOOxV_Y/видео.html To answer your question, the Ring stick up cam is 5 volts and IP/NVR cameras are 12 volts.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for the reply. I love my Ring and Alexa products, but, I love your videos even more. 🙂 Please test the Ring outdoor gate sensor. Thanks
Mr. LifeHackster: What is the smallest hole I can drill in the soffit for the power cord? For example, can I drill a 1/2” hole which would allow me to put a smaller rubber grommet? Or is 3/4” the safest size to use?
Thanks again lifehackster. I installed the eufy but can't figure out a way to call my phone if there is a detection. With arlo, this was possible via IFTTT but no eufy support for it. Any suggestion to call my phone if motion is detected? Or maybe just play a music or alarm?
You have to choose "away" on the "security" tab on the app to get your camera to record and notify you. You can edit the away mode to silence the camera's siren if needed.
@@LifeHackster what about the transformer plug receiving 110 volts? Is there risk there? And the extension chord... is there risk there? 110 volts on that all the time? I only ask out of concern.
Greetings, I am having a problem with my cameras going off all the time at night due to vehicle headlights setting of the motion sensor off on the camera. I have tried moving the sensitivity and the quadrant of the camera but nothing works. I called customer service and got a foreign speaking person who had no idea what she was doing and did not understand my problem. I asked to speak with a supervisor and she told me that they do not have one. I chatted with customer service on line to find out were to file a complaint and got the run around. Listen I think the product is great but your customer service is the worst. You hired people from third world countries because it was cheap. You threw a script at them and said here you go. When a person has a problem the last thing they want to here is a foreign speaking person that has never seen or used the product. Now what am I supposed to do with my problem??

I did the almost the same thing with the Stick Up Cam 3 I have on the back of my house. Wired up is the way to go!

I know this video is older but thanks for addressing the power issue and wiring.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! IF I DIDN'T ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS I WOULD'VE FOR THIS...EXCELLENT VIDEO! 🙏
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Wow, having an outlet in the attic like that meets code?? That opens up some possibilities!
Yup

Amazing to know that I can now wire the Ring Stick-Up Cam Battery. Now only if I can say the same for the Spotlight Battery.
Glad I found this video because I was about to buy the battery powered cameras. I like your super sharp 4K video!!

Can you do more reviews on the Ring Wall Light Solar? There isn't much out there about it. Thanks!
Will see..nothing really to say on it.. mine is still working without problems.

The Ring power adapter and cord are for outdoor use, so I don’t think there is an issue using them inside the attic.
Thanks 🙏🏻 sir really help Holy Spirit be with you all the time
Is there anyway to hard wire a battery operated spotlight cam? I couldn’t find a cable for it on rings website
Yes -> amzn.to/3sNR1H6

Dude can I do this without the power adapter plugged in to an outlet?? Like a real hardwired setup?
That’s what I wanna know, the ring stick up elite is the POE model, I like the mount this guy used but I don’t know if I have to use this.
Any idea if the ring doorbells have this? 1st gen thru latest?
Not that I know of.. just the stick up cam.
Eufy or reolink idk which one to go with. I like how eufy has hidden cameras so it's not so obvious it's a camera at first. But reolink seems like it's more commercial so i feel like it's better quality. Why don't all brands make the cameras more hidden in their fixtures?
Will solar panel for stick up camera keep it powered up like wired mode?
No. It will only top off and charge the battery.

I don’t have a soffit. Any suggestion or demonstration of doing same kind of install, but attaching to outside garage wall?
I have 3 outdoor cameras with solar panels, I’ve never had to charge them. I’m guessing those don’t count as wired?
They perform as battery cams. I've learned that on this channel.
Nope..it needs to be plugged in a power outlet.
@@LifeHackster Thanks for the reply. I love my Ring and Alexa products, but, I love your videos even more. 🙂
Please test the Ring outdoor gate sensor. Thanks
Will it work the same with solar? Or solar would just charge the battery ?
Did you find the answer for this?
damn dude you know your stuff. i sent you an email i had a question for you i didn't want to put in the comments i shot you a subb as well. salute bud
What did you use as the soffet hole grommet
does this have the option to attach solar panel ?
The stickup cam with battery.. yes. but it will not have the "wired" mode.
Can I remove the battery after I convert to power like you did? Will it still provide the plug in video advantages?
Yes, you can remove the battery.,.and it will still have plug in features.
Mr. LifeHackster: What is the smallest hole I can drill in the soffit for the power cord? For example, can I drill a 1/2” hole which would allow me to put a smaller rubber grommet? Or is 3/4” the safest size to use?
1/2 inch can work but might need a bit of a push/pull to get the angled barrel connector out.
So the adapter works on my outdoor camera so I can have power instead of battery.
Please can you advise on the thickness of the wire
Hi, have you tried wired mode with solar.
I was pure battery and now have Orion solar panels, which makes a big difference.
Does it need to have the battery inside if is wired
No. It doesn’t need to.

This is for the gen 3 bat/wire?
Yes.
I got this exact same cam However the outdoor power adapter won't clip on.
I need a mount for the side of my house. I can’t mount on the ceiling only on the wall. I need like a 90 degree mount
Do these cameras also have battery backup in case the main power is cut?
I hoping Ring will Offer power over ethernet cameras as an option in the near future
Wait...there's no POE Stick Up Cams? I thought for sure there is.
They have the stickup cam elite and is PoE.
I bought the cable so I can wire my Spotlight cam batteries. Does the Spotlight cam battery have the wired features?
Unfortunately, the spotlight cam battery when plugged in will just continually charge its battery…no wired features..at this time anyways.
@@LifeHackster
So I will not get any improved Motion detection?
How come my stick up cam showing a red plug in the upper right corner eventhough i already wired it?
Which stick up cam do you have and whats the price please???
I have the 3rd gen stick up cam and they sell for $99.
Hello! Does the Stickup Cam Gen 2 has this feature
It could be ceiling mount or wall mount
Does the wired ring stick up cam have motion warning ? (Where it alerts and says you are being recorded)
Will it work in wired mode if it’s connected to solar panel?
Can this be done on the spotlight cam battery?
Yes.
Does it move up down in side to side?
Does the ring cameras record 24/7?
Unfortunately, No.
@@LifeHackster can you recommend the best camera that records 24/7?
my snap capture is every 5 min...maybe mine is 2nd Gen stick up cam PS: Mine is solar panel.
If it is connected to solar, then there are more options for snapshot capture compared to just battery alone.
I don’t understand why ring doesn’t just do a Poe camera it would be so much easier
Doorbells
Ring's mount sucks and it's bizarre how a camera like this doesn't allow users to rotate the video in 2022.
Isn't that a fire hazard that insurance companies can use against you if your house catches fire?
I don't think a 5 volt line is considered a fire hazard.
@@LifeHackster what about the transformer plug receiving 110 volts? Is there risk there? And the extension chord... is there risk there? 110 volts on that all the time? I only ask out of concern.
@@Taitmon well,it is made by Ring and it is outdoor rated…your attic is more forgiving than the outside.
@@LifeHackster True. But does it meet saftey regulations?

Hmm do you think it would be possible to splice the included power cable to an ethernet cable to a transformer? Would it still work as intended?
