Question 1

How much history is stored without a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No video is stored without a subscription. You only get live feed. The subscription is fairly cheap. Basic plan is $3 per month/$30 per year or $10 per month/$100 per year for the premium plan. The premium is well worth it if you plan on having more than 1 ring device. The basic plan only covers 1 device per subscription.

Question 2

Can this unit be mounted horzenal under the roof eve?

Accepted Answer

I just installed two of these on the garage ceiling in a four car garage and the light pods CAN be "encouraged" past their built in stops.  Grasp the mounting base securely and very GENTLY apply ever increasing pressure to turn the round stem past the natural stop point.  You will feel the plastic parts inside slowly give way and move past the intended stop.  Now ... DON'T GO SPINNING THEM AROUND A DOZEN TIMES as the wires inside won't thank you for that, but I was able to twist them to where the "shades" were oriented properly and everything works perfectly normal afterwards.

Question 3

I have a outside light now on a switch. Will I be able to still turn the light on and off with the switch or do I need to use the app?

Accepted Answer

You have to use the App. But according to the Ring website, the "Pro" model will allow you to toggle the wall switch to turn on the light for 1 minute. When you do this, you interrupt the WiFi so the device has to reboot and is temporarily disconnected from the App but the light will remain on for 1 minute. And, you cannot turn the light on via Alexa. So it you hear something in the middle of night that is out of range of the motion sensor, you have to find your phone, password on, launch the Ring app, select the floodlight device, and toggle the light on. If I had know this I would have purchased the Pro model.

Question 4

What is the difference between the floodlight cams and the spotlight cams?

Accepted Answer

Also the spotlight cam I got runs on batteries that have to be recharged and the WiFi connection is not as strong. I also have 2 floodlight cam plus lights that are hardwired. They work better and no batteries are needed.
