Like-New Ring Stick Up Cam Battery HD security camera with custom privacy controls, Simple setup, Works with Alexa – White by Ring

Ring is the best security camera provider I’ve used, and I don’t say that lightly. I now have 6 cameras from this company and can’t say enough about their durability and quality. They come with paper installation guides that make it easy to install and connect to wifi, plus their website and youtube video tutorials make it easy enough anyone can do it. I rely on these cameras for so many things, but specifically motion sensing video. No one provides the service Ring does.

We’ve been using this Ring Indoor Camera (battery-powered version) , and it has exceeded our expectations. It’s discreet, reliable, and extremely versatile for indoor use.

🔋 Rechargeable Battery:

No need to plug it in! This is one of my favorite features. The camera runs on a rechargeable battery, which lasts several days depending on usage. You can remove it easily to charge when needed.

🛠️ Mounting & Setup:

It includes screws and a mounting bracket that you can use on a wall, ceiling, or flat surface like a shelf or table. We chose to mount it high on a door frame for a full view of our living space. Setup was fast using the Ring app – under 10 minutes and it was live

📷 Video Quality:

Daytime video is sharp and clear. The night vision mode also gives great visibility even in total darkness.

🔊 Two-Way Audio:

Very helpful when you’re in another room. We use it to speak to family members or calm pets if they’re making noise in the living room. The sound is loud and clear on both ends.
🚨 Motion Alerts:

Customizable and reliable. We receive instant notifications when movement is detected, and the sensitivity settings help avoid false alarms.

📱 Ring App:

Very user-friendly and organized. You can access live view, speak through the mic, check past recordings (with a Ring plan), and adjust settings as needed.

✅ Pros:
• No wires needed – completely rechargeable.
• Flexible mounting options: wall, ceiling, or shelf.
• Clear audio and sharp video.
• Discreet design and excellent performance.⚠️ One tip:

Keep a second battery on hand if you want uninterrupted service while one is charging.

First off, we love our three French Bulldogs. If we leave them in the car, we have a rule of twenty minutes maximum.
The holy grail of Pet Sitting mode is AC running and live monitoring.

The Nissan Ayira’s EV remote climate control is okay; I think it would work fine in spring and autumn. However, in extreme heat or cold, it struggles to function. With the recent high temperatures in New England, it can not keep up.

However, if you leave the car running and locked, the AC stays on at full blast with little impact on the EV battery.
This is what we do now: put the car in park, leave the car on, exit, and lock. We come back, and the car is still nice and cold. Remember, this is an EV; no engine is idling.

Two of my three sons now have Tesla Model Ys, and that’s precisely how that Pet Sitting mode works: the car stays on when you get out and keeps the AC running.

Live Monitoring:
I had the official Nissan dual dashcam installed by the dealer but was very disappointed. The YouTube videos led you to believe it is modern and can be accessed remotely.
Not true; it seems antiquated in 2025, and it has terrible remote access. The only way I have had success is by sneaker-netting the card to the computer to get the feeds.

The Ayria has an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot built in, and I activated the 90-day trial; however, the car must be on for the hotspot to work. We’ve already determined that we need the car on for the AC anyway, so no big deal.

I already have several Ring security cameras and pay for a subscription that provides cloud storage and live view across all my devices.

I found this refurbished rechargeable Ring Stickup Camera (3rd Gen). I added this to my Ring account and connected it to the Ayria Hot-Spot. And it works great; I get motion alerts, and I can get a live, crystal-clear picture of the dogs. We can even talk to them. It even has a siren, which I can use to get anyone’s attention, although I haven’t tested it to see if it would harm the dog’s ears. It works great at night as well, with the night vision.

Not a perfect solution by any means, but it works, and I wanted to review this way to give others ideas.
You can not have wireless Apple CarPlay and the hotspot active at the same time.
I could use wired Apple CarPlay, but to be honest, the Hot Spot toggles on and off pretty quickly.

Park the car, ensure the AC temperature is set, and put up the car’s windshield cover. Turn on the Hot Spot, exit, and lock the car.

I will buy a spare battery, so I always have one charged and ready. If, at the end of the Hot-Spot trial, I am unable to secure a satisfactory deal from AT&T, I will opt for a mobile hotspot with a choice of carriers.

This camera is also ideal for an RV.

On my third purchase because I’ve been recommending them to family and friends. I love the ease of installation. It provides clear images day and night. The battery life is decent as long as there’s not too much traffic or movement. Overall, I would highly recommend this product over others I’ve used.
