Our Take

Ring's Outdoor Camera Battery, also known as the Stick Up Cam, is a versatile wire-free HD security camera that can be mounted indoors or out. Aimed at homeowners and renters wanting straightforward DIY security without running cables, it sits in the mid-range of Ring's line-up, offering the core Ring experience at a lower price than the wired or Pro versions.

Key Features

Battery-powered design with a removable pack, charged via USB when depleted

HD live view and recording through the Ring app on phone or tablet

Two-way talk lets you speak to visitors or callers through the camera's built-in speaker and mic

Motion-activated alerts sent straight to your phone when movement is detected

Weather-resistant housing rated for outdoor use in typical UK conditions

Flexible mounting options, including a magnetic swivel bracket for wall or ceiling placement

Our Verdict

A solid choice for anyone wanting flexible, cable-free outdoor security without committing to a full CCTV system. It suits renters and those wary of DIY wiring. Buyers wanting unlimited free storage or rock-solid battery life in colder months should weigh up the subscription cost and consider a wired alternative instead.

What We Like

  • No wiring needed, so installation is genuinely quick and beginner-friendly
  • Battery removes for charging without taking the whole unit off the wall
  • Integrates smoothly with other Ring products and Alexa
  • Reasonably priced compared with wired Ring alternatives

Things to Consider

  • Ongoing Ring Protect subscription needed for cloud storage and full features
  • Battery life varies considerably depending on activity levels and cold weather
  • Motion detection can trigger false alerts from passing traffic or foliage
  • Wi-Fi signal strength at the mounting spot affects reliability, so placement needs care
