Setting up Rings Stick Up Cam Pro is straightforward, like many security cameras.

Once its installed, you could put the decorative cover back on for a polished look.
Then, all thats left to do is position the cameras direction before tightening the screws one last time.
Setting up Birds Eye View is fairly simple.
Ring’s Stick Up Cam Pro is a solid security camera for indoor or outdoor use, with a wide field of view and plenty of helpful in-app features. However, for its price, it may not be the best security camera you can buy.
Those yellow dots turn red over time and eventually fade away completely.
The idea behind Birds Eye View is great, but it wont be practical for many people.
The Battery and Solar-Powered options use Color Pre-Roll that captures a 4-second video clip in color.

Theres a quick-access, red Siren button thatll set off an 85dB alarm to scare off intruders.
Then, there are a few boxes it’s possible for you to press for more tweaks or information.

you better have a Ring Protect plan to record video clips, store them, or save them.

HDR and Color Night Vision aren’t enabled by default, so I turned them on in rig options.

That said, the 1080p video quality on the Stick Up Cam is good.
By default, HDR and Color Night Vision are turned off in the Ring app parameters.
Color Night Vision is cool in theory, but not in execution.

One of the reasons its able to pick up motion so well is its wide field of view.
The wide FOV creates a bit of a fisheye effect, but it doesnt remove the video clarity.
Every time theyd pass by the camera, Id get an alert saying Theres a person on your patio.

One of the improvements to the Stick Up Cam Pro is enhanced audio, called Audio+ by Ring.
