Totally off topic, but your Avatar has made me want a REAL Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Soooo Bad!This is included in the Amazon prime deals day thing. On my screen it is on for £139, expiring mid day tomorrow (Wednesday 18th) at noon UK time.
I'm going to give it a go, since we have the doorbell and the chime extender which should allow connection from the back garden.

Aaargh! It calls to us, so it does! My preciousss!^^ yum yum !
So is the theft refund built into the price or not? At the beginning you say it is then at the end you says it’s £80 with the premium cloud account.
There you go withIt turns out that when you set up a ring account and individual devices it's crucial to have exactly the same address in exactly the same format for it to all work properly. I had a small discrepancy and it took an hour with (a very patient and supportive) ring support chap to sort.

Good price on Amazon at the moment.

I have just installed a wired spot light and wondering if anyone can help ?
When the sensor goes of the light doesn't come on. Anywhere in the settings I need to look?
Thanks, just ordered another from Amazon, a wireless one this time though.
On the main screen for that unit, have you got the lights toggled on?
Then in the light settings themselves, do you have the motion zones for the lights set up as they are separate to the motion zones settings of the camera?
Just for full disclosure and not a complaint. My front spotlight camera failed, not sure why, (potential water ingress) but its not working anymore.
An online chat with Ring and a few things to try to restart it and nothing. So 3 days later an entire replacement was sent out and its back to full fitness again.
In the interest of safety I have now also bought a silicone cover for it as it is in a rain prone are to see if that helps with what 'might' have been the issue. Oh and I was having multiple alerts for one camera movement and a delete of the app on my iPhone and a re-install has sorted that as well.
Mine recently developed a fault. I would constantly have the warning "battery cover open" and eventually it wouldn't hold a charge. I triple checked the unit and the cover was always on properly. I have just received a new unit from Amazon. But, funny that the issue developed after a several large rain storms. Maybe there was a connection, who knows.
So i've bought a cover as per @CarMad s suggestion - thanks for that.

Mine was giving the same message of battery door open and it wasn’t either. I noticed some water inside fogging the lens so putting the two together.....
f these are assembled and installed as designed, IPx5 meansThe new one has been fine so far despite the rain yesterday.
I do use and iPhone and was getting the same message before it failed. It does seem water related, IP55 might not be sufficient for our wet weather it seems. Have you made sure all the screws are put in the back and no holes are open?!?
I left the bung in the back of the camera this time as some added protection.
