Ring Stick Up Cam 2019 3rd Gen Review - Unboxing, Differences, Video and Audio Quality

Today, we will check out the new 2019 Ring Stick Up Cam and this is the 3rd Generation. Ring released the 2nd generation stick up cams just a year ago and I wonder why they have to re-do and change it in this version.

One good thing is that it is now cheaper... but when I unboxed the plug in version, I was surprised that it has a battery compartment which the box says for "backup power". Come to find out, these 3rd generation stick up cams, ( plug in, battery and solar versions) had the same camera... the only difference will be the accessories that comes with it. So, the plug in will have the power cables, the battery will have the battery and the solar will include the solar panel with the battery version packaging.

Now, if you want the benefits of a true wired / plug in version, there is the Ring stick up cam elite which will have the PoE port and the adapter is included. So, let's check out and see what my thoughts are on this latest version of the stick up cam.

Thank Fantastic review. You are one of the only people to show how to remove the plug to insert outdoor adapter. It says push but……..does it pop out, do i push and slide down, how much of plug comes out? Push and slide up. Thank you, very helpful.

I have the POE one. As a network guy it was important I get that because it cuts down on all the accessories you need. Ring should have continued to make that camera. Instead of putting a port for the RJ45 on the camera they could have done with most indoor/outdoor cameras have done and put a cord on the camera that has the RJ45 in it and then include a waterproof connector that goes over your network cable. Because I would love to get two more of these cameras for outside to replace my current but separate POE cameras....and just have all ring cameras and integrated better into my home network/smart home network.

Enjoy your videos man! Quick question do you ever have connection issues with your ring cameras?? Sometimes mine go off internet and I check my internet connection and I’m running over 300mbps..???? So it’s strong enough I even have a chime pro??? It doesn’t happen often but sometimes it just goes off? All my other products that run via WiFi always work it’s just my ring cameras

Question: Can you maneuver/tilt the camera if installed on a wall?

[steves]

Thank you LifeHackster. This Ring camera is a little confusing. But you made it very clear for me. The sound quality of the camera is a little disappointing to me. Anyway, Thanks and have a great week.

If Ring Stick Up Cam 2019 3rd Gen is the same featured with battery camera. Is it better to go with Ring Stick Up Cam 2019 2nd Gen powered camera?

[LeiChat]

Thanks for your detailed review. I was hoping the new wired cam was going to support POE and be better/cheaper than the old version. Is the Elite just a re-branding of the previous generation cam? If not, I am curious if to know if it still has the large opening at the bottom when you are using POE cable.

Could you elaborate a little on the differences between 2nd and 3rd generation stickup cam battery models? I could not find it anywhere.

[markmceathron]

LH, are the SimCam products on your list down the road? They look to have some interesting features and I'd love to see them run against your tests. A completely local security cam seems interesting from a security perspective!

Hey, can you do the customized zones on the plug in cameras WHILE they are being used like battery operated ones?

[zachstuff]

Appreciate you covering this updated version and a comparison will be great to see! Would like to see the updated version from Ring with the powered version.

Hey, quick question... Do you happen to have issues with setting up motion zones on this camera? I called Ring once and they told me to reset/re-install the camera again (which I haven't tried, as I was hoping with an update will auto-fix or so). But essentially, what happens is that on the motion zone screen, I cannot see the whole frame of the picture. It's somehow cropped. It's weird and it only happens with this one. I have other like indoor and elite ones. No issue. Only have 1 Stick Up Cam and does that. I which I could edit the whole frame. I think is just an issue with this one itself and might get fixed if I just reset it. But just wondering... Thanks.

Hey I hope you do an update on the plug in version of this camera. It got a big update. Customizable motion zones and a people only mode and a sensitivity slider like my indoor camera has.

[Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj]

Good review! Could you please let me know the battery life of this camera when run off the battety alone?

[Pascal]

Thanks ! Can’t wait for the review of the Stick Up Cam Battery 2019.

I have a two-pack gifted to me which I still have not unboxed. Never knew about the generations and must admit I'm still unclear about what I have. Perhaps it's to examine the specs on/in the box? Gen 3 has 130 degrees coverage, Gen 2 has 155 according to the video. Is this the best/quickest spotting feature to differentiate them? Thank you.
