The Ring Cameras are a great way to make your home smarter and a bit safer. The cameras can be mounted high for you to see the whole surrounding area around the front of your house, and it features a speaker and microphone so you can yell at people that are near your house. The future is truly upon us. The Ring Cameras come with a mounting kit to get you started, but that doesn't mean you have to stop there. These are the best accessories for Ring Camera!
Better battery
Ring Rechargeable Battery Pack
Having the battery-powered Spotlight Cam 2 means you don't need to mess with your home's electrical system, but you will need to keep a fresh battery handy. This battery recharges itself over with an included USB cable, and users note it takes seven hours for a full charge, so keep that in mind when you want to make sure your camera has power.
Unlimited power
TOODOO Ring Spotlight Cam Power Adapter
Of course, never needing a new battery is the best option. This power supply from TOODOO will do just that. The cable is thin enough to fit through a small hole in your wall, and at 20 feet (or six meters) long, it shouldn't be hard to snake it to an available power outlet in your home.
More power
Wasserstein Ring Spotlight Cam Power Adapter
If for some reason the TOODOO adapter isn't available, this one from Wasserstein is another great option. Again, the cable is thin enough to make it through your wall and long enough to be routed to the nearest outlet once it gets inside. Everything you need is included, including screws to keep the power cable in place.
The power of the sun
Wasserstein Solar Panel for Ring Spotlight Cam
There's a version of the Ring Camera that already has its own solar panel, but this is a great upgrade for those that started with a battery-powered version. This panel connects to the battery inside your Ring Camera, so even if it's a gloomy day, your camera will have enough juice in its battery to keep going. This comes in black or white, and there are screws included to keep in place on the side of your house or on a fence.
Better mounting options
UDOIT Ring Mount
If the mount included with the Ring Camera doesn't let you angle it exactly how you want, this mount from UDOIT is a great replacement. You get enough screws, bolts, and nuts to work with most of the Ring cameras, but you'll still need a drill and screwdriver to get everything in place. Once it's in place, you can adjust the camera vertically and horizontally so it gets the best view of your yard.
Anti-glare
Silicone Cover Case for Ring Camera
If you're getting a bit too much glare on your footage — or just want an extra bit of weather protection — this cover is for you. It's just a simple piece of black silicone, no different than what you'd use on your phone or tablet. It provides a hood around your camera so the glare from the sun won't be a bother, and raindrops will flow off, keeping your video feed pristine. This specifically works with the wired version of the Spotlight Camera, not the solar or battery-powered versions.
The Ring Camera is great on its own, but it doesn't have to end there. Whether you want a better power supply, more mounting options, or some extra weather protection, these accessories will make using the Ring Cameras much more enjoyable. If you're only going to get one of these accessories, I'd go for the , since it means you'll never have to worry about a dead battery or routing a long power cable again.
