In my experience, color night vision can make a substantial difference in low-light situations when you’re struggling to get clear views of people on your property, so I was really looking forward to seeing if the new Ring Indoor actually delivered here.Īside from that, the design of the Ring Indoor Cam is fairly straight-forward, with no fancy extras like a spotlight or siren, which may explain its lower price tag. More practically, the 2nd-gen Ring Cam boasted color night vision with improved overall video clarity. Pretty neat, but honestly not a feature I saw myself getting a ton of mileage out of. Unlike the first-gen Ring Cam, the newer model came with a “privacy cover.” You twist the cover to the side to block the camera and mic. On the other hand, I did have one more wire to look at in my living room. Like the Stick Up Cam, the Ring Indoor Cam is a plug-in model, meaning I didn’t have to worry about any tricky installations or expensive and frequent battery replacements. This camera doesn’t take up a lot of shelf or counter space and it’s inconspicuous. FYI, if this is your first Ring, the Ring Indoor is tiny (2 inches wide by just under 4 inches tall), which is a plus in my book. Honestly, when the UPS man dropped off my 2nd-gen Ring Indoor Cam, it reminded me a lot of the Ring Stick Up Cam: a white cylinder attached to a base. We loved using the Ring- Always Home app to check in on our living room from anywhere with Internet! Ring's most affordable camera is the Ring Indoor Cam, available for only $59.99 with no mandatory monthly fees. Narrow field of view: At 115 degrees (horizontal), the Ring Indoor Cam’s field of view is slightly narrower than I wanted.No free cloud storage: Although Ring has affordable cloud storage, I wish it had a free option.No person detection without a video storage plan: Unfortunately, if you don’t subscribe to Ring Protect, the Ring Indoor Cam can’t tell a person apart from any other moving objects (like pets), so you may receive some unnecessary notifications.Alexa and Google Assistant integrations: Again, this doesn’t come as a shock as Amazon owns Ring, but I’m glad that the camera also works with Google Assistant.Affordable price: At only $60, the Ring Indoor Cam is a much lower-priced security option than the majority of its competitors.1080p HD video with color night vision: Not shockingly, like the Ring Doorbell Camera, the Ring Indoor Camera shoots high-quality video that’s clear even in low-light conditions.If you’re on a tighter budget and can live without a privacy cover, the first-gen version is currently on sale for $20. Ring is taking preorders for the 2023 version of its Indoor Cam, with orders shipping on May 24. The privacy cover will still work in any of those orientations. The Indoor Cam can be mounted on a wall, hung from an overhang or ceiling or placed on a shelf.

That means you’ll get a security camera that records 1080p video with Color Night Vision. The new Indoor Cam has all of the same core features as the previous model. If you have an older Indoor Cam, you can purchase a privacy kit that includes the cover for $10. The cover leaves no doubt whether or not the camera can see you. It’s an addition that makes sense for a camera that is meant to be placed inside your home by providing an extra layer of privacy that users can physically see in place.
