the best thing about rings 199 dollars stick up cam is that it's a very versatile outdoor camera so not only can you rely on the rechargeable internal battery to power it it also comes with a power adapter if you want it to be tethered for continuous power or you can rely on the $49 add-on solar panel that you can attach separately so that's all the good stuff about this camera now let's get into what I didn't like so upfront you have to pay three dollars per month or $30 per year for event based cloud storage most models nowadays offer a free option so you don't have to pay that upfront and a lot of the security cameras that do require you to pay a monthly fee actually allow for continuous recording so you're not just getting those motion or sound based clips in addition the audio two-way talk feature didn't work that well I listened to several conversations and took part in several where I couldn't understand what was being said and the 720p HD live streaming was grainy at best although that will vary based on the quality of your Wi-Fi and it also offers only an 80 degree field of view which is much less than a lot of the competition so unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this model over some of the competition because it just doesn't do as much
