It turns out there's a volume setting for this model, in the app, that sometimes needs to be toggled or reset when you update the app. For some reason, app updates turn off the volume on my unit.
My ring indoor wired, and stickup cams do not have a volume setting in the app. Only this spotlight cam. I think it was in the camera's general settings.
This camera can be plugged into an outlet with an optional cord you buy separately. Make sure you buy the right one.
There's slots for 2 batteries. It comes with one battery.
Re comments that said other cameras show this light coming on randomly at night: They might be picking up the infra red night vision light. Your camera can be set to take a picture at intervals, and may turn on infra red to do that, but not necessarily the bright spotlight that comes on when motion is detected.
Also, the motion detection range is smaller than the visual range. (On other models too.) The camera might be able to see and show you someone at the end of your driveway or property, but not sense them or start recording automatically until they're much closer. It seems to recognize movement by sensors, not by visual movement. This is likely why motion detection will not work if a ring camera is inside, behind a window, pointing outside. The window will block the motion sensors, and visual movement alone will not be recognized as motion, and will not trigger the camera to automatically turn on and record, or alert you.
The app has terrible lag and memory issues. It often causes my phone and tablet to hang or freeze. Instead of using back arrows or buttons to stop a live view or change to another camera view, I usually have to quit the app completely, and reopen it.
The cameras will work for live viewing only, if you don't have a subscription. No saved videos without a subscription. Without saved video, you cannot rewind and see what set off the camera, if whatever triggered the camera is gone by the time you look.
At the time I'm writing this, you get a 30 day free trail for each new camera you add, before you sign up for a subscription. Once you have a paid subscription, you cannot get additional free days when you add new cameras.
If you do not have a paid subscription yet, every time you add a new camera, you will have 30 more free trial days, from the date you added your last camera. It will not add 30 days to the end of your existing trial, it will overlap and end 30 days after the last camera was added.
The app used to show the updated last day of your free trial, after you added another camera. A recent app update changed this so it only shows the end date of the free trial that ends first, and will not show if you have an overlapping free trial that actually ends later. You may need to call ring customer support to verify the real end date of your free trial(s).
All your videos will be deleted and immediately unrecoverable if you do not have an active free trial or paid plan. If they overlap, you're fine. But make sure you sign up for a paid plan before the real end date of your free trial, if you dont want to lose your videos.
You have the option to download and save individual videos to your phone/tablet etc. Those wont be deleted if your account ends. Just the ones in the cloud.
Remember that without power and internet, these won't work. If thats a concern, make sure you have a backup power source during outages, and maybe a mobile hotspot to use if you have internet outages.
Overall the camera is good. The app has memory and lag issues which can be annoying. Having to pay for a subscription (if you want recorded videos) is annoying. I wish motion could be detected in the full visual range, by factoring in visual movement beyond the sensor range.
The cameras can be expensive, so wait for sales and bundles.
