Hey guys, I know I mounted it high. I wanted a higher camera angle. This thing weighs next to nothing, and the adhesive is getting the job done. :)

Man, Ring just loves their 1080p. I can’t believe they are not rolling out 4K

thanks for the great review. got mine today and it only took a few minutes to install and hide the wires with the great tool as you mentioned. easiest setup ever. looking forward to using it.

So I installed mine with the bottom attachment because I thought you had to. It was sticking but I noticed from the outside that only half of the adhesive was on the windshield. After seeing your video, I removed it and now have a full adhesion. It’s a good thing it came with extras!

Yea, I preordered mine, loving it. Since I forget where I park at times, the gps search function is perfect for me.

Thank you for making this video easy and fast to understand

Amen! Amen! Amen! I absolutely can't wait until I finish paying off my car because I have the same view that you do. I'm going to drive it untill the wheels fall off. 🤣 With that said, great video. I'm supposed to get my ring car cam delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

Nice review. I am waiting for mine to arrive 😁

Excellent. Just got mine today!

Just got mine yesterday! installed today!

Thank you for this video and your feedback. I pre-orders last month and received it yesterday. Look forward to the installation tomorrow and yes agree I'm also OCD when it comes to any cable showing. I would be glad to pay $100 more if it was completely cable-free just the OB2 plug-in with blue tooth connect with the dash cam/phone app

This camera is awesome, I love my whole home ring products and wish this was available in Canada

Great video! You got yourself a new subscriber.

Great review and much appreciated.

Thanks for the excellent review! RING has yet another hit. Mine is due to arrive today (early adopter). I'm looking forward to testing it out shortly. I currently use a Garmin 65W in my other car and love it.

I received my cameras today. Ring says the weight of the camera should be supported by the dash, and not by the mounting strip on the camera. There is a gap cover that you place over the bottom of the camera where it plugs in (depending on the thickness from your dash to your windshield), then you snug it between the dash and windshield, and lastly, press the mounting strip into the glass. The way you've mounted it, the camera could possibly fall causing damage to the camera or your car. Even if the camera view is somehow obscured by your hood when mounting it correctly, you should follow the Ring installation instructions, then inform everyone about the possibly of the view being obscured.

I’m sold. Also I recognize that city skyline!

I pre-ordered and was very excited for this Ring Car Cam. The first day, it worked so great and seemed too good to be true, and it was. After the first day, the camera kept shutting off by itself to "preserve the battery" of the car, even though my car battery was fine and I literally just drove my car for hours. So without the ability to do parking mode and no alternative way to connect the device via hardwire, and no internal battery inside the camera for some odd reason (the normal Ring cams for the house have batteries inside that last for months so I am just at a complete loss for words at how dumb this set up is) I returned the device, which was difficult since, having pre-ordered it, it kept saying that I was past the 30 day return period. I had to call multiple times to get a return label emailed to me. I have yet to receive the money back. I'm not paying for the subscription if I don't get to use parking mode, and without the subscription you can't download videos and the device is basically useless. This was such a huge letdown that could have easily been avoided if they would just use their brains at Ring. Why make the powering of the device so lame? That is a huge deal.

Good luck getting one i have to wait till July shipping has been pushed back twice already with a preorder too

Just to let you know because of your first video I ordered the camera. All right let’s see what this is and hopefully it was worth it. Lol. Gonna watch now commenting before I watch lol.

Is there anything in the works for a rear facing camera? Most dash cams have a rear facing cam in case you get hit from behind

Nice review , I might of missed a part about the wifi . Does this unit need a constant wifi signal to record or is it only needed for the fresh out the box setup ?

I live in Florida and my camera is protected (somewhat) from the sun by the tinted strip at the top of the windshield. Are there any concerns about the issue of direct sunlight and therefore heat on the camera if the vehicle is left out side for hours. Have not seen any comments about that. Might not be an issue but I wondered your thoughts.

Subbed and liked man awesome video

Hi great video one thing that no one mention or show on reviewing this dash cam is that can it read license play while you driving day time and night time?and what quality you get ? this will be the deal breaker for me to buy this camera. again great video is just missing more info about what the canera can do or not do.thanks anyways

Nice review!... It's a pity the Ring Car Cam isn't still available in Europe.

Nice review. I just received mine today. By the way., nice car too. I have a 2011 G37. My favorite car in the world.

Would like to see real time GPS co-ordinates and speed embedded in the video like Garmin does with their dash cams.

Appreciate your insightful review. In fact after watching, I picked one up at Best Buy on my way home. Installation on my AMG Mercedes was straight forward, the extra cord slack took most of the install time to tuck to the undercarriage of the steering column. I look forward to testing the features during my am commute to work. Does the 30 day trial for Protection Go need to be activated?

Cleaner install is using the additional snap on piece at the end it enables you to have the cord come back through it towards the port..... Also instead of sticking it to the windshield where you did push the end portion all the way into the dash way better

had issues with getting it to install was stuck at connecting to car cam... screen so not happy i will be returing this and keeping my orginal cam that i already had installed

Nice camera I have questions about the camera if you leave the car at night the camera work recording switch off or what?

The design is great.

You video helped me to understand the product. I live in the wild of Montana and my windshield gets broken at least twice a year and is always replaced. The glue on the Ring cam window tab is strong. My question is how do I remove it when the window has to be replaced [so as not to break the ring unit] and does Ring sell the glue tab for this kind of replacement. Thanks, Ken

Seems like a good little camera, but the Ring membership thing is the immediate turn off. Probably fine for people who are already using a Ring doorbell, but kind of a step in the wrong direction for a product that has never needed more advanced storage options. I'd also question the mounting solution there. Didn't see mention what adhesive is used here (i.e. 3M VHB tape), but it's one of those things that will definitely fail in hotter regions like mine.

A couple of notes from my setup: Try to be near your wifi hotspot when first setting up. Also, scan the bottom of the camera before you install. The QR code is not able to be seen once you mount it. Finally, the "frequent" mode for recordings eats a lot of battery. I drive my car every day, not for very long distances, and my camera is telling me at least once per day that the camera has gone into standby. I've been very happy with my car cam. I have an escort radar detector/camera in my other car and the car cam is far superior in terms of usability.

Like you my car is a Mazda 3 2.5 , 2011 and no car payments. Driving it till the wheels fall off 🤘🏾💯

What if you already have something plugged into the OBD like CarLock?

Great product I’m a big fan of Ring been using ring cameras for the past 3 years but I’m gonna wait for the 2 GEN should be even better but for now, I’ll keep using the 70mai Omni

how was the license plate readability at night and during the day?

They need to make an option to hardwire the dash camera, like many others out there, reason been i mainly used my OBD II to have my sync up drive from T-Mobile to track my vehicle and provide wifi to my kids ipad on the go.

Excellent review. I was expecting a little bit more on the break-ins detections. You said it worked perfectly, would be great to share some videos on how it actually works, if anyone stands outside the car close to the driver's window, will it also detect? do we have to manually select the "zones" as with the other cameras? Thanks.

Hi Donnie..... just subscribed. Great info on this cam. Regarding the GPS, would you know how often the location updates in the app? Every second, 5 seconds, 20 sec? Thanks again.

Can't wait until blink comes out with one of these!.

Btw, any reason you didn’t install it within the gap of your dashboard like the instructions state? I saw other reviews say the car hood can get in the way of the camera view. Is that why you decided to mount it higher?

So, can you just plug the USB-C into a USB-C port to power it? I wonder how well this will hold up in the summer when a sunshield is placed on the windshield and the sun bakes it. Pretty bummed about the adhesive - we have ceramic tint on our windshields and I don't want to stick anything to it.

I think it’s a fine first version. In your video and the Amazon reviews it’s not high res enough to read plates most of the time. I’ll wait for v2.

Is there a specific reason why the power port is on the right side of the unit?

Is it easy to come off if you require a sunshade in the tx heat?

Nice Review! Quick question; I stay in a State the gets 🔥🔥🔥 during the summer months (internal car temp well over 100°), is it able to withstand prolonged exposure to those types of temps..?

When most of the OCD ports are on the left of the center of the windshield shouldn’t the plug in port be on the left side of the ring cam? Why is it on the left?

It was nice to see it mounted with just the adhesive. I am apprehensive to try to wedge the post between the window and the dash.

How does the wifi works on the device? Does it fits off your home router or your phone? Also how is the que quality and guarding your vehicle for people keying your car?. Thanks

Will this work in a wrangler ?

I can’t wait to get my hand on this in a few days. I’m glad I was able to pre ordered this last month and also got $50 off. If u were to purchase this now u probably will need to wait 3-6 months to get it.

Did you show how you installed the cable to the car? It would see how you did it. I’m hesitate to buy this product.

I have 2 of these and I am in Canada. The Ring Protect Go subscription for the LTE connectivity works here, and unlike what you stated in the video, you do not have to be in the US to order these. I had it shipped w/ no charge shipping direct to my Canadian address. I was also able to benefit from the introductory pricing of $199 US.

Nice review, I have gone through 3 different dash cams and they all have failed in the Texas HEAT. Fine hair line cracks around the lens, bulging of the case, melting of buttons, glitch recordings, having color issues, haze around recordings, connectivity issues...etc. All within the year to 2 years of usage. I'm still hoping some company will develop a robust dash cam that can withstand the Texas heat.

Great video. I’m curious if there is a disclaimer from Ring as there are states that it is illegal to mount things to your wind shield. I live in Virginia and it isn’t allowed. You most likely will not get pulled over for it but during yearly safety inspections, your vehicle will fail due to the camera. Please make sure your state will allow it. Thanks

Thats insane how you actually put it on the windshield when in the instructions it says to tuck it in between the dashboard and the windshield. That took me forever to install because it doesnt really fit inbetween, id rather have just stuck it on the windshield to begin with

Any video on motion as if you were breaking into the car how long it takes to record.

Question when the vechille is parked up over night would the camera pick up movement out side of the vehicle and record as I tend to park looking over my bikes would it be a back up cam during the quiet hours ?

The big problem that I am seeing with this Ring protect go plan is that it is only 2gb of LTE data. That is only 4 hours of video. You will go though that 2gb of LTE in less than a week and have serious overage charges. You have to opt in to LTE overage charges when you purchase the ring protect go. We need to have a way to chose wether or not our recording auto upload. Great video, great info. P.S. local storage is 7 hours and it re-writes over the old stored video in 1 hour blocks.

I didn't see my car on the listing for compatibly. Is it compatible with a 2011 Ford fusion hybrid

Thank you for making such a quality video. I wondering i don't have a alternator I drive a hybrid Toyota Avalon. Will that be a problem using the ring car camera?

Preordered then realized my 2017 Infinity SUV does not have the proper port it needs. So disappointed! Hopefully they come up with another connection option.

Looking at your sample video, it looks like this has the same problem as most dash cams in that the video quality is just horrible. I could not read the license plates of the cars that you were passing or behind. Did you find that in the actual recordings or was this an artifact of putting the recordings into the video?

If I buy a longer cable can I still use it in the obd 2 port? My car is a right hand drive and I’d love this cam for it

I’d be interested to know how the adhesive used to stick to windshield would hold up in the Florida sun/heat, and if it does fail…is there any other option to mount? Does the app have a setting that Will display your speed on the screen?

Is the adhesive bit reusable? Just thinking about what happens if you need to move it or have your windshield replaced or something.

Ok!! My ? Is where do you get the wifi or on WHT wifi does it work can you mention that

I'm struggling to decide if Ring Protect Go is worth it since my vehicle has its own wi-fi hotspot. The only scenario I can think of is when the vehicle is off you can still connect to the cam via LTE.

Are you able to track the speed of the vehicle on the recorded video? Most dash cams have that as an option. I am not seeing speed on the videos you posted.

Instead of using ring connect go. Can I use my phone internet to have internet signal on the cam. Basically tethering. I have 40gb 5g internet tethering every month on my phone plan

How will ring know if you use or don't use the obd2 plug if you get power just straight from the cable?

If I buy it while in a trip to the US, and then bring it back to Europe... Will it let me connect it up and use it... I would assume so?

Does the heat from the sun affects the adhesive????

nice review. who would you say is this products biggest competitor? I don't understand why the video is stored on the device opposed to the cloud just in case.

Will it record with the outward facing camera while parked if there is motion, like a normal ring cam? Another example being if someone just walks in front of your car?

Why'd you mount it up so high? It's meant for the arm to be down between the dash and windshield..

I ordered mine last week on the amazon special-still waiting on delivery

Great review! Can you connect more than one camera to app?

Was this product discontinued? Can't find this in Amazon?

Interested in your opinion of how the camera does when car is parked and you are away from car.

Only a few minutes into the video and i can tell you i dont like the power cord coming out the right side of the camera when the routing of it has to go to the left to go to the OBD2 port. Kinda reminds me of the new Nest battery outdoor cameras with the forward facing charge port rather than facing back towards the wall its mounted on (Face Palm). also this needs 4k or it makes it hard to read plates! my blackvue 900 is 4k and is awesome

I’m curious why you mounted it so high off the dashboard?

Does the ring car cam have the 'snapshot capture' feature like the other ring cameras do?

I installed it on my Silverado today and I didn’t leave a gap like you did. While I wish the camera angle was a bit better facing the road I’m happy it’s so snug. I’m not worried it’s going to fall. Please keep us updated if yours falls.

Does the camera record automatically in the event of a crash or sudden brake?

Mine is out for delivery, looking forward to getting it setup. Only thing I’m worried about is it blocking the light sensor on my dash, the one that controls the headlights.

Hi Donny, I have four dash cam in vehicle and I’m about to purchase the Ring Dash Cam as the 5th Dash Cam. I have one dilemma. 3 of the 4 dash cams are set to an OBD, I can press a switch and I can get 24 hours of recording. My question is can I use a splitter to connect it the Ring OBD connector so the Ring OBD can power my other Dash Cams?? Thanks.

OBD2 PORT usage is a no go. This port can access the vehicle information, where ring may use or sell. I saw a report that RING will provide video data without your consent and is not exclusive for your privacy.

It's very clear

Is that even legal for the way it mounts? I used to have cops give me a hard time about things hanging from my mirror. I wish there was like a dummy version or something to see if it would work in my car. Also, does it have parking monitoring like if someone bumps my car?

This or garmin? Which one should I buy?

Why do most of these vehicle camera reviews not talk about video quality/clarity? Features are great and all but the MOST IMPORTANT feature of a video camera........is the video quality! Can you read a license plate without being directly on the vehicle or stopped throughout all times of day and night? What fps does it record it? Does it upscale? How does the quality differ at night, dawn, and dusk? How does the camera and components do in extreme heat and cold? Are they working on a rear camera? My biggest issue with this industry is i have a go-pro from 2014 that has better video clarity than probably over 95% of vehicle dashcams. If that is the case, why aren't more "review" channels calling this out??? It is a dashcam, the most scrutinized part should be the camera!

Pre-ordered mine but won't be getting it till 01-09 March . Video looks good for 1080.

How does this compare to owl dash cam ?

Can we hook it up the windshield behind the rear view mirror and rotate the image on cam?

Good review. I find it odd that Ring chose to have the power adapter on the right side. I'm assuming it has a G-Shock sensor, and someone else mentioned that there is a 2GB limit for the LTE connection?
