Remember the other week when Paul got on me for not installing the Ring security cameras quick enough? Well today I am showing you how to install three different cameras to upgrade the security around your home. These vary from hard wired to a simple plug in. Did I mention I installed, filmed and tested all three types of cameras in less than an hour? It’s that easy! Stay rad xx.

Amazing! I'm trying to install a ring security camera. Where are your previous drilling in brick videos? I need help!

@eileenarroyo5580 6 лет назад

Love this!! I have had my eye on the ring flood lights, but had no idea they have battery operated and plug in cameras as well! So dope, thank you 😁

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 6 лет назад

Of course! I had no idea either but am so hyped.

Right!? I'm totally in love. Hope you're well Ellie!

@thonchaiyangywjpheej7573 4 года назад

Tip: make sure all of your cameras line next to the motion sensor is straight ,so it can Detect about 30ft or a bit more

@humbertopacheco6657 3 года назад

Awesome video. I just bought a ring doorbell and i definitely going to get the side camera. How long does the battery last?

@Pooroljc 8 месяцев назад

Your video was outstanding, I was considering getting a ring camera, but I didn't know which ones to get. Thank you so much for clarifying....

@torigarza6098 4 года назад

Great video. Since you installed two different cameras, which do you find to be best? I’m debating between the two and/or getting both styles then deciding which would be best placed at the front of house and backyard area.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 4 года назад

I love the wired because the battery one dies SO easy.

@SWLinPHX 4 года назад

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz: if you need to use batteries make sure you install two ring charged batteries and attach the solar panel and it’ll triple your battery life.

@PR-pe9oc 6 лет назад

Wow, thx for the review! We’re looking into security cameras but haven’t decided on what just yet. Once again, no judging here...u we’re rocking the outfit! Your hubs sounds just like mine. Gotta love em! 😉

Rachel have you thought about getting the solar panel that connects to the battery powered spotlight?

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 6 лет назад

I just saw that they had solar powered! Definitely want to look into it.

@laurendang7121 3 года назад

hi! i'm planning on installing my ring security camera but not sure if i need to use the anchors that they give me. they say that you should if you're hanging it on stucco. isn't that what your wall is made of? why didn't you use anchors when you installed your spotlight cam? thanks!

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 3 года назад

I went and got stucco anchors!

@rogerehrenberg3489 5 лет назад

You know what I like about this one. Is that I guess want to commercial before I get to watch the commercial. It's not rocket science. But I wonder how much help to really head behind scenes.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

It's all about that DIY!

@crystalharris9076 6 лет назад

I talk to a ring consultant and they said that the solar panel wasn’t worth the money it’s better to just get two batteries but I would love to here your input on this as well

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 6 лет назад

To be honest - I would just get the battery ones! I didn't use the solar nor did I know they had those so I just fell in in love with the ones I got!

@martydixon647 5 лет назад

Are there any other camera floodlight fixtures that will sync with a ring doorbell

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 4 года назад

I'm not sure what products they have currently.

@Flowing23 4 года назад

Hi, thank you for posting really common sense video. The second install the battery camera, do you know how often the battery needs to be charged. Are they sued for really cold climates. Thank you.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 4 года назад

I'm not sure how cold since I'm in Cali and the battery is annoying. You have to charge it all the time!

@SWLinPHX 4 года назад

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz: I’m in Phoenix. If you attach the Ring solar panel to the spotlight cam and use two batteries at a time like I did you can go quite some time without changing batteries.

@markgonzalez1165 5 лет назад

Is there any memory storage ? Or anything like that. Rewind video? Or the app stores every recording!?

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

Yes! It's all in the app based off the plan you choose xx.

@alaverga3455 Год назад

Quick tip! if it rains alot where you guys live. Caulk the outside edge where the floodlight is mounted for extra protection from water. I didnt do that with some regular light fixtures on my driveway and there was a little gap and water got inside and rotted the wood.

@davidthecardcollector 5 лет назад

I have the battery operated spot light camera and it works best in a location that does not get a lot of traffic. Evertime the wind blows mine gets set off and drains the battery. I have had it working 5 days and am down to about 67% on the battery.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

I've discovered that recently! It is quite annoying.

@bosconian901 5 лет назад

What bulb replacements are needed when they go out? Specifically for the spotlight camera? Thanks!

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

They haven't gone out so I'm not sure yet!

@gerardodiaz1748 5 лет назад

Im pretty sure once the bulb goes out you have to get a new entire camera because the LED lights are soldered to the light

@Nirvana4me007 5 лет назад

True, the whole unit gets replaced if the bulbs go out.

@Nirvana4me007 5 лет назад

So happy you have Ring!! Ring works best with GREAT WiFi. Don’t be fooled by the bad comments calling it garbage, it’s not. It’s WiFi.

Do they offer a service where a live person can monitor the camera? Like if I am sleeping and someone snoops around my car at 4am in the morning, can someone talk to them through a mic asking to leave my property?

@dboyd1124 4 года назад

How long does that battery last on one charge?

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 4 года назад

Depends on the frequency of motion you are wanting. More motion sensor - it'll die quick. I like the wire ones.

@ginamaharaj2618 2 года назад

To not let someone switch it off, it should on always

When the old light has a switch to it

It's insanely minimal and they save forever. I think mine is like $10 a month if that?

@SJFijianRick 4 года назад

Question do u need strong WIFI to run these cameras ?

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 4 года назад

So typically no but our house is in a weird area in the hills that we have to get extenders for everything.

@roshanr16896 3 года назад

4:39 It could have a a sticker which says “Do Not Unplug”

@anthonyferrara2222 4 года назад

You need to add a dark brown color. I’d like to match my trim color.

@digitalboomer 5 лет назад

Hints: The hard wired security lights are designed to be mounted vertically, so if your existing security lights are mounted to a sofit (aka eves) horizontally, the light/ and or camera will not angle properly. I hired an electrician to mount a vertical wiring box to my exiting horizontal using a short right angle conduit, which was not cheap. Additionally, make sure you have a good wifi signal out to the area where devices will be mounted. Write down your Wifi ID and password and keep it handy. The last software setup involves pressing a button on top of your camera and then identifying your WiFi ID and putting in your password. The reason I mention this is that your security lights are likely to be 8 - 10 feet off the ground, so getting to this button is a ladder challenge. If you screw up the setup, you will have to repeat pushing the setup button again and repeat.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

Thank you for this!

@mkedean1 5 лет назад

We have several ring cameras as well as security systems, i was using them in rental properties. The cameras work well most of the time, but they are not always dependable and you can no longer zoom in on the recorded events. I am in the process of returning all ring devices primarily because of the poor customer support.

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

Definitely a personal preference!

@roshanr16896 3 года назад

The sign that says “Do Not Switch Off prevents people turning off the Ring, it should always be on, or else the Ring won’t turn on lights or detect motion

@joansnow4013 5 лет назад

I’m curious does the plan include all of them, or do you have to pay for each individual camera? If you could answer this question for me I would really appreciate it. I’m a single woman, and one of my neighbors is using my house as a shopping center and I’m going broke. I’m on disability and a very strict budget. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on installing

@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz 5 лет назад

There are so many different plans available! I would just call Ring and talk through what will work best for you.

@joansnow4013 5 лет назад

Thank you

@digitalboomer 5 лет назад

Right now, it is $3 a month for one camera and $3 for each additional camera. However for $10 a month, you can ave unlimited. These fees allow you to store your videos automatically to the Cloud, otherwise you only have live streaming view available. If you get the cloud services, you can review, download or delete old videos. You get a 30 day free trial for cloud services to see how it works and to see if you like it or not. Remember the account is location based, so that monthly fee will only cover one address. If you need to setup a second location, like a vacation home, you will have to make payments separately for that additional location.

@SWLinPHX 4 года назад

$30 a year to cover one camera or all cameras at your house for $100 a year.

@cantikanchi 6 лет назад

I don't know if you realize this, as I think women our age don't think about this to this extent.... But this is a true video of female empowerment. Too many women, and this may be a judgement call that's incorrect on my end, but moreso older monogamous hetero. Women, do not feel comfortable doing stuff like this. Just by you doing what you do, even if it doesn't seem like anything grand, is actually a beautiful example of female empowerment.
