Ring Indoor Camera - Cameras For Modern Homes

Outstanding features of Ring Indoor Camera

The Ring is the brand best known for its video doorbells and outdoor security cameras. However, the brand's new Indoor Cam is a breakthrough because it is the company's first indoor-only camera but is well received by users as the most affordable camera model to date. Ring Indoor Camera not only supports Amazon Alexa voice commands but also works with other smart devices through IFTTT apps and provides sharp 1080p video. Ring Indoor Camera Wireless also offers motion detection when users sign up for a monthly fee to activate and view motion-triggered recordings.

The white Ring Indoor Camera Night Vision has a cylindrical shape with dimensions of 2.9 x 1.8 inches (HW). It is designed to sit on a round desktop base that can be removed and reattached to the back of the camera if the user wants to mount it on the wall. The front of the Ring Indoor Camera has a black face, speakers, LED status lights, and a microphone for two-way audio. Around the back of the Ring Indoor Camera is a mini USB power port. Ring Indoor Camera comes with a power cable, mounting screw, Ring Indoor Camera Manual, plug adapter, and security sticker.

If you can't make out who or what the camera is looking at, having an outdoor security camera won't help. 1080p video offers more detail, although a camera that records video at 720p will usually provide a fairly sharp image. So the most common resolution for these devices is 1080p. Best Security Cameras doesn't require a lot of storage space and is viewable on most tablets, phones, and PCs. Users will need a very strong network connection to play 4K (Ultra HD) videos without stuttering or lag. This can be costly for cloud storage because we need a lot of space to store recorded video.

You should try to choose a camera with a relatively wide field of view and make sure that the camera can record clear video at night regardless of the resolution. Some cameras use white light to provide full-color night video while the majority of cameras use IR LEDs aka infrared to provide black and white night video. Ring Indoor Camera provides users with video in 1080p with a 140-degree field of view. To see clearly at night and connect to the home network, the Ring Indoor Camera uses a small array of infrared LEDs and is equipped with a 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi radio.

You need to make sure that your outdoor camera works with other smart devices instead of just recording videos and sending alerts. We encourage you to refer to outdoor Wi-Fi cameras that support IFTTT (If This Then That). It's an internet service that uses small user-generated programs for the camera to interact with other IFTTT-enabled devices. We've tried setting it up to turn on the smart plug, turn on the lights in the house, and activate the siren outside when the camera detects motion. The Indoor Cam uses IFTTT apps like other Ring cameras to work in conjunction with other smart devices in the home. You can set it up to control lighting, thermostats, and garage door openers. One of the best things about this device is that it also supports the Works With Ring program - which allows users to control certified third-party devices from within the Ring Indoor Camera App.

How to install Ring Indoor Camera

Like every other Ring device, the Indoor Cam doesn't require too much from the user as it just uses the same mobile app. it will have its own tab on the Camera screen along with a still image of the activity most recently captured when the user set up the camera. At the top of the screen, we see buttons for Nearby Incidents, History, and Lights. We only see the Lights button when we have set the device to ring. We tapped the Nearby Issues button to view recent events reported by our neighbors using the Ring Neighbors app. The History button allows users to view all the activity from their installed Ring devices. Users can tap on any activity item to view, download, or delete a video of the event.

We tapped the Indoor Cam tab to see a timeline of the captured video with timestamps. Here we found a Live button that opens a live feed that we can view in full screen when the phone is rotated to landscape. You can also tap the square icon in the bottom right corner of the panel. We pressed the microphone button to initiate two-way audio and tried talking to another member of the test team who was at my door, and then we pressed the speaker button to mute the audio.

We tapped the gear button in the top right corner for the available camera settings. Here we have enabled/disabled motion recording and motion alerts configured motion and video settings and enabled push alerts. We then link the Indoor Cam to other Ring devices to enable recording in the other Ring cameras and turn on the Ring lights. We also tried the Device Health Settings to check the wireless signal strength, check the Wi-Fi, and update the firmware. The Shared Users settings allow us to add users to our Ring account easily.
