    • A Ring camera in the car
Review Image by GP GP
Updated 3/7/23: Ring reached out and clarified some issues. Here is the update. THE PRODUCT: The name says it all - "Ring Car Cam - More ways to help protect your car." It doesn't say it’s a high-end dash cam designed to compete in the overcrowded market. Instead, like a Ring camera, it is a security device intended to monitor the surroundings and inside of the car while in motion or parked and to alert you of any suspicious activity such as break-ins or vandalism. The question is whether the Cam does a good job of what it's meant to do. PARKING PROTECTION: The biggest selling point of the Ring Car Cam is the ability to monitor your car when it's parked, such as in a hotel or in the driveway at night, and receive instant notifications of any suspicious activity. Ring states that it has a low-power mode to provide continuous monitoring and will shut down when it detects a low battery level to ensure that you can start your car. Unfortunately, the function fails miserably. Regardless of the age of your car, battery, or app settings, the Cam will shut itself off shortly after the engine is turned off. Depending on the battery level and settings, the Cam may stay on for only for a few minutes to a few hours; it won't last all night. When it shuts down, it won't wake up upon impact, so it won't be able to detect or notify you of vandalism or break-ins. Nor can you check your car through live view. Additionally, because most drive clips are stored locally due to their size, when the Cam is offline, you can't view them from your phone or the web. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed with a firmware update. Note that Ring does not recommend using the Cam if your battery is past its service life or after four years. (That’s an additional $200 on top of the $60 annual fee.) LIVE VIEW & LTE: We love being able to see what's going on inside and outside of the car at any time, checking how your kid is driving and chatting with the technicians when your car is at a service station. However, you can actually run out the 2GB LTE in one week, and when that happens, you lose all cloud functions and notifications. Practically speaking, LTE doesn't have much to offer at this point. Due to poor power management, the Cam shuts down shortly after the car is turned off, so you can't use live view and won't receive notifications for theft or break-ins. Cloud storage is only for highlights and very limited live view. The clips are a few minutes long and the cloud never stores the full-length motion video for the entire trip. By the way, live view is not supported by Echo Show, so you can't just tell Alexa to show you your spouse's whereabouts when you're cooking! There is fine print that says "extra data charges may apply." Ring indicates that no additional fee beyond $60 would be imposed. Ring also states that they are working on the LTE plan to better deliver the cloud functions. It is possible to use a personal hotspot so that you can continue to use live view without LTE, and for the travel videos to show up in the app before you get back to your home WiFi. EVIDENTIARY VALUE: In good weather conditions, the dual cameras deliver clear 1080p videos day and night (no IR for front cam). The field of view (119.5 degrees front, 153 degrees rear) is comparable to other dash cams. A common complaint is the inability to read license plates even when they are in close proximity (beyond a car's length) or in motion. Ring indicates that future firmware, likely to be released in two months, will improve video quality. Ring didn't elaborate much on technical details, but it is possible to improve video quality through software, to some extent. Techniques such as digital image stabilization, increased frame rate, and improved high bitrate numbers can be used to enhance video quality. However, there are physical limitations. For example, most dash cams shoot at 30FPS, and vehicle speed variance is usually more than 10mph on highways, the result is bound to be blurred. Thus, if standard video quality works for you, this Cam will serve you well, not to mention the cam’s unique remote features. However, if license plate readability or other recording details are critical to you, you may want to opt for a dedicated high-end dash cam. DATA ACCESS: To download the video, you need to have a subscription and the video is limited to 20 seconds each time. Yes, only 20 seconds, and it takes a couple of minutes to process. It can take an hour to download the entire drive video. To avoid excessive LTE playback and download limitations, I use screen recording on my phone to capture the drive videos. Given the current low resolution of the video, there is no difference whether the video was downloaded natively (supposedly 1080p) or screen recorded (540p). As the storage is non-removable and the device can't be powered up by a regular USB-C, access to the files can be a serious issue after an accident. INSTALLATION: The device is pretty compact, and the build quality is good. The installation is easy. A common complaint is that the USB-port is on the right side of the Cam. Ring explained that it is a safety decision – the excessive cable should be tucked down to the passenger side. Be very careful when you place the Cam between the windshield and dashboard. Do not use any force, as it WILL crack the window. Avoid blocking vehicle light sensor ¬– the little dome thing on the dash. Also, as it is attached to the windshield and partially blocks the view, it is illegal in some states. Check the law before you buy. Sitting at the front of the windshield with blue light on makes it an obvious target for theft and may defeat its purpose. The built-in light is pretty dim. You won’t get the colorful image the ad shows. As for the OBD-II power source, it is safe to use. The good thing about OBD-II is that it provides a non-stop power supply without having to get into the car’s electrical system to hardwire the device. If you already have a device attached to your OBD-II, you can get an OBD-II splitter. Ring indicates they do not collect data from OBD-II. DRIVING EXPERIENCE: After you start your car, the Cam will turn itself on in a few minutes and start to record when you drive, capturing both inside and outside of the car simultaneously; you cannot disable it. Many reviews indicate that the Cam sometimes stops recording and GPS location is inaccurate. The inconsistency in performance will be fixed in the upcoming firmware update. FINAL THOUGHTS: In its current status, this Cam is good enough to do what a dash cam can do. The video quality is sufficient to capture common accidents, such as hit-and-run, sideswipes, failure to yield, rear-end collisions, or prevent insurance fraud like catching “staged accidents” and disproving fake witnesses. But does it warrant $250 when any $100 dash cam has better recording capability? It will depend on your specific needs and how you like the Ring ecosystem. Like Apple products, Ring offers simple and elegant solutions. Ring’s not-so-unique but integrated and comprehensive features, such as 24/7 parking protection, live view that works like an electronic chaperone, Traffic Stop designed to document an incident even when the car is off, and rich notifications are great remote functions and offer real-time protection. If the upcoming firmware works as promised, the Cam and subscription will be a worthwhile investment as the cost will be far less than your insurance claim and give you peace of mind when you can check in at any time. ... show more

I have used high-quality Wi-Fi-enabled dash cams for many years. The hardware looks solid, but the video quality and powering of the dashcam are not great. I am deciding on returning. The power port on the dashcam is on the right side which means if you don't want to kink the cable, you must run the cable around the passenger side of the windscreen down the corner of the dash, and under the dash. Guess what? The cable is not long enough to do this to get back to the OBD-II port on the drivers-side under the dash. Why was there not a USB-C port on both sides of the dashcam to have the option of which way you want to run the cable? USB-C power cable only works when plugged directly into the OBD-II adapter. The dashcam will not power on when the USB-C cable is plugged directly into one of my vehicles always on USB-C ports. When I read under "Technical Details" it says "USB-C power cable" which leads one to believe the USB-C cable can be used to power the dashcam with or without the "OBD-II power cable adapter". After researching, the problem is the dashcam requires "12V-20V, max 3A" which is why it does not work and will not work with USB ports or charging adapters. The dashcam requires constant 12-volts and would not be able to monitor the 12-volt battery SOC using a standard USB power port or charging adapter. I did not want this dashcam connected to my OBD-II port. 1: For dealers to have an option of blame to get out of warranty/extended warranty claims. 2: I wouldn't say I like the idea of my connected vehicle and all the corresponding data being potentially data mined. There is a lot of personal data stored in modern vehicles and more accessible data when a phone is connected with vehicle access permission. If the dashcam and adapter are using the OBD-II port for power only, the OBD-II adapter should have no more than 2 pins minimum and 4 pins maximum. Why does the OBD-II adapter have a pin in every port available? On the ring website under "Incompatible Vehicles" it shows certain vehicles that are incompatible will show things like this: "Engine errors displayed on dashboard". Why would vehicles do this if it is only connecting to the always-on 12-volt and possibly vehicle on/run 12-volt connections only? Status LED lights and event sounds need the option to disable them. The only LEDs you have control over are the manually controlled bright white rear-facing interior flood lights. I do not want the other LEDs lighting up randomly when parked or remotely accessed alerting people the dashcam is there. I don't want them lighting up or hearing the sounds when I enter my vehicle. The last thing I would not want in the event of a break-in is to replace a windscreen on top of other damages from forced entry. Not a good idea to alert a criminal with sounds and recording status LEDs for them to grab the dashcam and crack your windscreen ripping it off. The best security cameras are incognito. The motion-activated recording does not appear to work with the front-facing cam while in parking mode. Why? Is it better to begin recording a parking impact after it happens? You can forget about any recording if someone wants to key your hood or leave threatening notes. I have "Interior Motion Verification" turned off and the cam still only begins recording when motion is detected inside the vehicle. 2GB LTE limit and Wi-Fi connections. While I have the dashcam connected to my home Wi-Fi SSID setup specifically for smart devices only (not my internal network) and works as expected, I fail to understand why this dashcam is limited to only one Wi-Fi network. My vehicle has a Wi-Fi hotspot and unlimited data. The inability to set the dashcam to auto-connect to more than one Wi-Fi connection makes no sense. This dashcam should seamlessly transition from my home smart device Wi-Fi to my in-vehicle Wi-Fi to save the 2GB LTE monthly data. The LTE data should only be used if you do not have an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot, or you are traveling and there is no access to in-vehicle Wi-Fi when the vehicle is off in parking lots. I ordered a 12-volt to female OBD-II power adapter and a 10ft USB-C male-to-female extension cable to plug the dash cam into the always-on 12-volt port in the back of my vehicle for portable coolers. The dashcam having an optional 12-volt adapter and hardwiring kit would be a win for the Ring Car Cam. I will update this review after I get the 12-volt to female OBD-II adapter and USB-C male-to-female extension cable with the results. The idea of a dash cam unified with home security cams is an awesome concept. I really want this to work but under my terms of how I want to use it. Updated: 18/02/2023: Less than 15 hours after installation "Car Cam turned off to conserve your vehicle's battery". My vehicle is new and has a massive AGM battery designed for deep cycling. Other vehicles I have had dash cams in could run those cams for a week or more without shutting down due to low battery voltage. If this dash cam only lasts 15 hours or less in parking mode what is the point of having this? Updated: 19/02/2023: You can forget about reviewing street signs or car tags at night. See the pictures for reference. Both are from the video paused. One is full screen the other is zoomed in. When not driving and in parking mode will you be able to see the license plate of a car that hit your vehicle day or night? Update: 21/02/2023: I can confirm you can use a 12-volt to OBD-II female adapter with the Ring OBD-II adapter. The dashcam still functions as before and will go into parking mode 6 minutes after the vehicle is shut down. The vehicle sat for a day and a half and has not had the dashcam shut down due to low battery voltage. NOTE: This option will only work if your vehicle has an always-on 12-volt port. My vehicle has two 12-volt ports that shut off when the engine is turned off and one in the back that stays on regardless of on/run status. I have raised my rating from two stars to three stars for the reason of powering the dashcam without it being plugged into my vehicle's OBD-II port. Will raise my rating to 4 stars if a firmware update fixes the poor video quality issue. ... show more
