So which cameras should advance to the ultimate camera comparison video were i compare the top brands together? Spotlight or Stick up?
I will try stick up because I have motion sensor lights next to it. Forget Arlo. It's junk. Too many false triggers even if the sensitivity is all the way down. Doen not happen with the Ring.
Spotlight has far better features and performance as well as more for the money. If you want a cheap camera and are not using it for security and safety then stick up. If you want a security camera with long battery light, motion sensor, spot lights and siren then...no brainer...get the Spotlight. At night stick up camera will not be visible or alert home invader. They will continue to try to break in. With stick up all you can do is record the crime. Spotlight will shine light on the intruder....notify you and then you can blast him with the siren. Understand....the light alone will deter 99.9% of bad guys. Surprisingly...like the host...some may want a camera only to document the crime...not stop it.
For outdoor cameras there’s always a chance of getting the lens wet. So how much will droplets affect the clarity and is it advisable to add rainx
Eufy s40. Better than ring camera. Has an integrated solar panel and super clear...
Did you take the plastic off the spotlight cam or was the lens dirty? It definitely had a wider view but it look blurred.
I waited through the whole video to hear the siren 🚨 from the spotlight camera. Wished you would have set off the siren.
Finally… someone who shows how the cameras work at night… I have watched numerous videos, trying to see the comparison, and how well the spotlight lights up the background… Pretty much all the other videos to show how to install, which is pretty self-explanatory…… Thank you so much for showing the difference, and how well the spotlight works at night!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this, just bought a 3pack of the stick up cams already have the floodlighting and that was the only plus to the spotlight cam 👌
Thanks Steve. I had a little (unsuccessful) robbery scare so i purchased the stick up cam right away for my condo! Your video helped me with the set up and reassuring of me of my great purchase!
Thank you! I’ve been debating between these two cameras and this video helped me out tremendously. Great job in comparing the two.
Thank You.... great video. I purchased the Floodlight Cam Wired Plus for my rear yard but your video helped me realize I purchased the wrong Ring Camera. Definitely need the Spot Light Camera for my yard. Thanks 🤙🏾
Just wanted to say, well done man, such a nice and detailed video about these two products. Thank you for the help, really appreciated this vid.
The main reason we buy these is not to use as a camera, but more for it's motion detection and recording. Please also do a motion detection test. You can go around to the front of the gate and see how far you get in before each camera detects you.
Thanks for the comparison! I chose to go with the stick up cams because they were a bit cheaper however I definitely want to upgrade to the spotlight cameras in the future when I'm financially secure!
Great plan!
Excellent video comparison. You get right to the point, speak clearly and summarize well. I’ll subscribe!
Thanks for these videos we had a break in and have been going back and forth on what we're going to buy
Great review, exactly what I wanted. Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of having 2 batteries but the spotlight cam battery did not have as good of daylight quality.
I thought the spotlight was the best if the 2 it depends on your situation I live in new York city and my driveway is pretty dark so if someone tripped the infrared beam that light would light up the entire driveway and the color was beautiful the ghosting is not a problem I saw you completely clearly so for my situation spotlight camera is the best
I set 2 battery stickup cams at my house, I really like the features, motion settings and 2 way talk, for $79 its a great deal
The SuC can’t be mounted upside down.
You need to purchase an additional ceiling mount, to enable it to hang down (the right way up) as there is no s/w option to rotate the picture when upside down. SuC also has an alarm button, it’s bottom right of the cam picture (it just doesn’t say siren, it’s the ((!)) button) and can be linked to the ring security hub to sound when the home alarm is triggered.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the in-depth explanation and demonstration! The Ring Spotlight Cam is what I'll go with because the spotlights for color at night really sold me on it! The addition of a built-in alarm is nice too! Coming from Google Nest cameras, there is definitely a major dip in video and audio quality. The ghosting that was present on both Ring cameras was strange too. With that said, I've heard rumors that the Google Nest cameras may be being discontinued and they don't offer the large variety of accessories and other products like Ring does. Sub and Like added! Keep the excellent content coming!
I bought 3 stickup cams in March of 2022 (all for indoor use). One day I notice when I'm in "live view" on any of them it says at the bottom (a little to the right) it says "Siren Off" with a slash through it. When I tap that button the siren goes off. I did it on all 3 and it works. When I first noticed it I thought "Was this here the entire time and I never noticed?" But either way - I have a siren on all 3 stickup cams but I have to tap the button to activate. I don't believe I can set it up to go off whenever it detects motion. I'm going to get a 4th one to put under the front porch roof so I can see my front door & see if packages are left. I have the Ring doorbell cam (v2) and it works fine except I can't see if anyone left something.
@@jackshittle Very cool! How do you like the Ring Doorbell BTW? I've still got to buy a Ring doorbell and Ring makes so many that it's confusing to know which one to purchase.
@@jackshittle sorry to bother but just to verify your saying stick up cam now has option to play siren sounds? If so that game changer Forsure !
Why depart from Google nest. I’d love it apart from the more expensive (per camera?) subscription and the 24/7 recording needs greater ISP upload speeds than I’d like to pay for at 2-4 mbps per camera.
It’s the HDR effect on the spotlight cam makes the image look washed-out. It’s actually a good thing for security purpose as the HDR effect reveals the shadows better. The impression of the stick up cam producing more clear image was due to the the difference in the depth of field. i.e. one is much wider than the other. So subjects in the frame look closer and bigger with the stick up cam which has narrower field, hence things/face seem more “clear” and easier to recognize.
Talking about sound quality , the spotlight clearly won. For security purpose, it is important to pick up ambient sound in the surrounding. The spotlight cam picked up ambient sound effectively and clearly. Your voice is recognizable on the spotlight cam clip when you were standing farther away while it’s breaking up with the stick up cam.
With the actual LED light, full color night image, dual battery slots, wider coverage and the siren feature, the spotlight cam is just a better product.
@@markh2200 I would say absolutely yes given how much more it offers - color night image, Bright LED lights when movement detected, longer battery life, siren, wide area coverage, superior sound. Each of these upgraded features meaningfully improve the usability and security . And it is always on sale if you look for it, especially during this time of the year. Good luck with shopping.
You’re exactly right on all of this.
I really like the wider field of view on the spotlight camera but think I'd rather have better video quality with the stick up cam. I already have a floodlight so the camera is my main concern. I just keep flip flopping on having a wider field of view or better video quality. It's weird that the cheaper cam has a better video quality--that kind of stinks. Thanks for this info!
The spotlight was consistently bright even at 30ft, and the audio was great..... being able to turn the spotlight off when you want to and night vision was reassuring
Much preferred the spotlight camera especially with the spotlights on, much better in colour as well!
I really liked your comparison and view, opinions and advice with recommendations.
Thank you
Sam
Glad I got the stick up cam. I wanted cheap and to find out the video and audio quality are better was just what I needed
I was having trouble deciding on which camera to chose but having the extra lighting and siren for extra security is going to make my decision much easier. Thanks for the side by side comparison video.
@Spider-Man unfortunately not yet because the owner is feeling some type of way about me putting up the cameras on his property
10:50 “wow you can see everything back here”
….except the object right in front of you 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I love the details of your review. Thanks!
Great video! I work in production and, to me, the "washed out" view of the spotlight camera just reads as a better sensor that isn't over-processing the image. Check out how easily the stick up cam gets over exposed. Whereas the spotlight cam, on the other hand, actually gathers much more meaningful information. The stick up cam may look better at first glance, but it looks like it's a worse image that has been processed to have artificial contrast to cover up the fact that the sensor just can't keep up with that of the spotlight cam. The same is true of the audio. You don't hear the helicopter because the stick up cam sounds like it's gating the signal way more than the spotlight cam.
People often associate over saturation as a better image!
thats what we needed. a simple test.. thanks
Great review and very helpful. Thank you for providing info about other brands besides Ring.
One major deficiency of the Ring spotlight battery cam viewers should be aware of is the spotlight does NOT come on at night if there is any sort of ambient light like a porch light even remotely nearby. The primary purpose of the spotlight is to act as a deterrent when motion is detected, yet it doesn't act in this capacity if you have a light on nearby. It is baffling Ring does not expect customers to want to be able to use a porch light nearby the camera at night. I alerted Ring over a year ago, and on the community forum, to this to no avail so, Steve, if you work with Ring on improvements PLEASE do encourage them to fix this. I can't imagine it is anything more than a simple firmware update.
My front lights are on all night for security as-is (60w all the time, 75w when motion is detected) because having them on has been shown to reduce neighborhood crime. This deficiency would be a complete fail of it's true. Wow! Thanks for the comment!
@@mangos2888 Indeed it is true. At first when I got them I actually sent back the spotlight camera because even ring technical support couldn’t believe it. Then I verified with one of the managers and on the community forum that in fact the spotlight will absolutely not come on if you have any sort of porch light. I agree this is a total deficiency. I’ve tried to get some traction on this on the community forum without much luck so encourage anyone that reads this to join me on the community forum to try and get Ring to listen to implement what I would think would be an inherent feature and not even an enhancement.
Thanks for the video and comments, they helped me make a decision on which camera to get.
Mine comes on just fine and I have a street light right beside my house.
@NoNo-lq5ls Not quite. I put a Ring spotlight battery cam on my front porch near a standard front door light and that light prevents the spotlight of the Ring from coming on. Even Ring was perplexed and sent several replacement units until they finally discovered that this is indeed correct operation which is a complete deficiency in the design. What's the point of having the spotlight cam over the doorbell cam if the spotlight doesn't come on with motion. They should expect that customers may have a porch light near a spotlight cam and the spotlight cam should activate the spotlight regardless of a 60W or so porchlight or not.
For cost efficiently you would save a few bucks getting the Stick up Cam, and putting a standard motion sensor light that plugs into any standard light socket.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this.
Exactly what I was looking for
Comparison video
I'm little late seeing this...but i just (6/2023) bought the indoor/outdoor stick up cam and mine definitely has the siren feature...a few years back I went from a hardwired home security system that couldn't be expanded to the Ring system...it was the best decision...
I'm watching your video and went to Amazon to check the price for the spot light cam and your video is actually one of the ones they are using for the cam in the listing. Thought that was kinda cool
Thank you for your help doing the comparison it was a really good help to me >
Very good comparison video. Thanks so much!
I just wish the stick up camera had the light and the siren.... definitely better camera and sound! Unfortunately there are two sides of my house with NO lights hence needing the light on the spotlight. good to know what I'm getting though. Thanks for such a comprehensive video :)
Thank you very much for the video and the details. I am really surprised of the results because I thought the spotlight would be better
Thanks for the comment
spotlight one better for me video-wise; I thought it was sharper despite less contrast. Great vid! Thanks a lot!
Good video on Stick up Camera if someone wants a camera for their house protection.
Excellent review! I feel both cameras are a great value, I was most impressed with spotlight.
I'm currently upgrading to Ring, after having Arlo for 3 years now. The Ring seems to be a win over the video quality and recognition of people at distances. I'm installing a stick up and spotlight camera outside to work with each other hoping the spotlight activation will help the stick up cam as well
I am just replacing my second to the last arlo camera. Ring is much better
How did the Ring Stick up Camera Work w the external Spotlights On? I'm thinking about using it w my existing 2- flood lights?
I am a ring customer for 3 years and now i have added a few Arlo Ultra 2. I expected so much more. I hate the delay and sensitivity high it sucks with arlo and ring battery cams. The video quality is much better then ring night and day but the ring app is alot more user friendly
Hey man. I have 7 ring devices. ( 1) -Ring doorbell gen 3,(4 )floodlight cameras gen 2, and( 2 )stick up cameras. I like them . It gives me peace of mind. I pay about 100 dollars a year for unlimited storage. The app works great also. If you have any concerns. Customer service is always good. I have no complaints. Very happy with my purchase.
I have ring and it's useless several things have happened especially the back of my house and not once did the ring camera catch it or pick up the motion. I caught someone by my car and that's because I happened to put on live view. Peace of mind is not possible with ring still trying to find other means of good security surveillance
that's very detailed explanation Steve. Is it possible to control brightness of spotlight ? i'm planning to replace my porch light with spotlight. but i am worried the brightness is too much.
Great video fella 👍
The ring stick up joint is a tad better as far as picture quality, I will admit the spotlight version audio is louder though and the light helps obviously. Thanks for your demonstration
I have several versions of the ring cams, what I like about the stick up cams is the ability to rotate the cams. My stick up cams have the siren too. I have one mounted under a ring Solar light, does really well. Excellent video review btw
Thanks for commenting
Is it just me or did you both look AND sound better on the stick-up cam? The stick-up sounded better AND looked better, no?
Great video thank you. My question is are there any cameras out there that do not require a monthly prescription?
This helped me make a decision, thanks for this!
Wow!! Thanks for this review. I was going to buy these... I defo won't now!
Good work!
This was a great video and I found it at the right time as I am debating on whether or not I should put the stick up cams outside one on porch and one in back yard( I have four, 2 already installed inside). Or purchase the spotlight cams for the porch and backyard.
I like the Stick up camera for the front of my house where there are house lights. The spotlight camera would be great for the back yard. I would like to know how they hold up in the Tucson, AZ sun and heat. Great video
Same setup here ( Charlotte NC), but the backyard got some solar white motion sensor lights as well.
The front yard have a semi streetlights as well.
My house also have house lights outside which can also help my colored nightvision
I like your demo!
I have spotlight for 2yrs love it at my deck. I'm putting stick up in my garage because I share with 2others it's a townhome so 3 separate overhead doors and defined sections, but I want to be sure nobody is touching my stuff so for needs of garage stick up good enough.
I have both , like both but I am having trouble with spotlight not turning on until person or object is like 6 ft away and not in the zone area set( all 3 zones on) . This is my 2 nd one from Ring, first one did not record sounds and did not turn on either unless 6 ft from lens. Any suggestions.
video was a great help. one question i have hope you can help. i have a spotlight cam battery cam and when the spotlight detects motion, the light turns on but turns off right away is there a way i can change the settings for the light to stay on for like 30 sec instead of turning off right away when it detects motion ?
I know both are for outside, but which one do you think would be more weatherproof?
This was a great video !!
Thx for the good work Sir!
@Steve DOES
I'm primarily using the cameras indoors. So I just picked the *Ring Stick Up Cameras.*
How often do you have to change the batteries?
Does it have an on/off feature that you can activate on the app when you're at home? (so it's not recording you every time it detects movement?)
It's sad that Amazon discontinued support of their Cloud Cam as of 12/02/2022. (That's what I've been using)
Ring products just make sense to me as I use a Ring Video Doorbell.
Thanks. I went with the plug in stick up
Good comparison video. But, is it just me or did the Spotlight Cam make you sound like you had a lisp. I played it back several times and with the Stick Cam, when we can hear you, your voice sounds fine. But with the Spotlight, well, it really did sound like you had a lisp.
I think I'll pass on these and wait for your upcoming comparison of the all the flagship camera's.
Great job as usual. Thanks!
I appreciated the comparisons of the two. Stick up cam has more bang for the buck. I have solar panels helping with battery life,
Do the stick up cam or spotlight cam allow to move the camera left or right when mounting. For instance if I mounted to the side of my house and wanted to look at the walkway approach.. will I be able to move it on an angle ?
Hello great comparison I actually have 2 of the ring stick up Cam battery and both OK but the spotlight Cam was lacking in some areas but with that light on at night that' spotlight on at night that's what I'm looking for after all I'm not worried about daytime it's in the night and Early hours in the morning that I worry about so personally for me I can go with the spotlight Cam battery I'll stick two batteries in it and we'll go from there but thanks for the video I really appreciate the comparison I'm in Best Buy right now trying to decide which one to get and you just made my mind up for me thank you and have a good day
Hey Steve, have you done any tests involving how waterproof/weatherproof the spotlight cam battery is?
purchasing a system now so very helpful
Very helpful, thanks
Good review thank you
How powerful is your WiFi signal in your backyard? I have a detached garage (where I plan to mount a spotlight camera)
Spotlight has better light reproduction during day, better HDR. Stickup is blown out where sun is, where spotlight has still detail in its overexposed areas. Stickup had better night (without light) vision. Thanks for review
Are they both ment for outdoor ??
Which one is good fighting off all 4 seasons weather ?
Hey any more info on the battery? How long does it last on basic settings? How long does it take to charge? Easy to take out and put back in??
Stick up for the mic and and the spotlight for the video. I have both as well but my spotlight seems dark even with the lights. Led is about 2 years old I think when new it was bright. I like the spotlight for the 2 battery slots the most since I have both on solar panels
See everything but that chair right there 😂 but seriously great video!!!
Hi, for how long the camera stays on when you open the app? also can you monitor multiple cameras simultaneously or its only one at the time???
Hey Steve, so I have the new spot light cam and the stick up. Just now starting to mess with them. Do you know is on the spot light cam the pre roll is able to be turned off? Can’t stand the blurry 4 seconds before it look much better.
Thank you,
Heber
Did you happen to compare motion sensing with the different PIR units? It would seem like the spotlight camera with the huge PIR would catch motion earlier?
I have the stick up cam and the audio is fine for mine and since it’s cheaper I can put more up.
Like the spotlight, for carport. Good review
Does it cost more to have a subscription with a ring doorbell 4 and the stick up cam? Or is it one sub for both as long as they are at the same address?
What is the battery life on theses cameras? So you have to set these up where it's convenient to get to the batteries? Thanks for sharing in the market for some outdoor cameras for the rear of the property
Great video. Thank you so much.
Happy you liked it!
When you disable the light at motion function on the device, is there an ambient light always on at night? I'd rather my cameras not be noticable at night, if so can this be disabled?
Did you ever do a videos on the settings you used? The only thing I don’t like is the camera seem to catch the motion a little too late. I want to catch more of the motion coming towards the camera
TY, I’m trying to decide what type of system I want to build. Our gate is 320 feet away do you think these would work that far away?
The Stick Up Cam, what gen is it, 2 or 3?
Thank you for this video
Excellent review, Thx!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video as it was helpful. Contemplating on the Stick up or Spot light 💡 now since I hadn’t considered the latter before. 🧐🧐
I am considering a purchase of ring stick up camera and like to know what suggestion you have for height placement on the house.
Great video!
how long does the battery last for the stick up camera under usual conditions?
Looking for the settings video you mentioned in this video. Thanks
Great help thanks
I am new to your page. I am looking for reasonable security cameras. After watching your video I liked the stick ring camera. I am wanting one for my backyard because we have dogs and also want to see if anyone is back there. My question is which would you recommend for my front door? The stick or ring doorbell ?
Can you show how to attach the solar charger on both? Thank you!
Not sure if Ring updated their software but my 3rd Generation Ring Stick up battery cam does have the siren feature.
I preferred the stick up cam both audio and visual (apart from obviously when the spotlight was on at night on the spotlight cam )
If you like the Snapshot feature, the spotlight cam MAY have more frequent time options vs the stickup cam. I have a stickup and also the newer version of a Floodcam installed in late 2022 - Ring replace our very old one that was having issues for free! - and the Floodcam has 3 options of snapshot - every 3 min, every 1 min, every 30 seconds. My stickup cam has every hour, every 14 min, every 5 min. It also doesn't always detect motion on my porch, while set at most sensitive setting, so the stickup cam is not as good for truly reliable security purposes. (i.e., sometimes I will see something that was on my porch and happened to be captured by the snapshot for a split second and then it disappears, with no other recordings before or after, which is annoying.) Again, this is compared to an awesome new flood cam, so maybe the spotlight cam has the same snapshot options as the stickup cam.
