Works good. charged batteries

Works perfect so far, I’ll let you know for sure after a year or two.

Works as advertised

Since installing it, the battery has remained at 100% on the camera which is proof of function. The length of cable was more than plenty to meet my needs as well. Good solution!

Works on out battery camera perfectly! Super long power cord easy to use

This is my first winter with the camera, I discovered the cold kills the batteries obscenely fast so sought another option. This sounded perfect, but it is all set up and isn't charging anything. Also the cable etc doesn't seem outdoor quality.

The UDOIT Power Adapter is a really good product

I had the solar panel set up, but it wasn't doing a great job keeping my battery charged, so I decided to try this out. It's easy to install, has a super long flat cable, and does the job of keeping my spotlight charged even when it's setup to take snapshots every 5 minutes and is on maximum motion frequency. I'm happy I got this product!I only have one complaint: the power adapter and usb when plugged in are too big to fit in my weatherproof power outlet housing. I ended up having to order a usb power adapter that connects vertically to be able to fit it in the housing. Considering this product is for outdoor use, the power adapter should really be better designed to take this use case into account. For this reason I've deducted a star.Otherwise, I am still happy with my purchase. If you want to plug in your Ring Spotlight Cam Battery, this will definitely do the job well, just keep in mind that if you're planning on plugging it in a weatherproof housing, you may have to order another usb power adapter or install a power outlet with usb built in.

I gave this 5 stars because it works very well, but wish I could give it 4.5 instead—ONLY because the way they chose to do the plug on the camera side. While it’s very secure when screwed into place, makes it very difficult to get the wings through even a relatively large 3/4” hole if the material you’re going though has any thickness to it. If they had just done the 90-degree elbow barrel connector like Ring’s own solar panel connection, it would be a lot easier. I’ll explain more in a minute.I ordered and installed two of these, one for each of my two Ring Spotlight Cams (both the typical battery style), and this is my experience.First, once it’s connected, it works great. It’s fantastic to never have to deal with climbing a ladder to change the battery anymore. It has no problem keeping the battery at 100% no matter how heavy the activity. This item replaces the solar panel concept with power from the wall using a USB charger instead. It actually charges the battery very quickly, at least as fast as the battery itself plugged directly in and charging outside the cam.Sadly, the Ring Spotlight Cam still requires a battery to be inserted. It can’t be powered solely from the power port like you can with the Ring Stick Up Cam. I’m guessing this is because the power demand from the LED floodlights is greater than they expect to get from the power port, and technically they only support the power port for solar charging the battery. Solar only provided power when the sun is up, so of course you can’t expect to get power from a panel at night.Second, the cord itself is flat, which is nice. While I never measured the cord fully extended to check their claim that it’s 25 feet long, I believe it. It was way longer that I needed for either installation.Now regarding installation, I had no intention of tacking the cord to a wall over and up to the cam, and I didn’t really have any outside plugs near the cams to use anyway. One cam is installed over my garage and the other over the door to my shed.The shed install was easier. I first tried pushing the winged connector to the camera out from the inside, but that was no good. I then realized I could push the USB connector end through the 3/4” hole I drilled near the top of the wall, and that was a piece of cake. I have power to my shed, so I just popped it through and plugged it into the included USB adapter and plugged that into the wall. Easy peasy.However, for the cam over the garage I had to install a new outlet in the attic space to plug it into. I drilled a 3/4” hole into the soffit (eave) next to the cam, but because of the design of the house there was no good way to get the USB end through the face of the soffit and then up over a small rise through a gap of only a few inches into the attic space. So I had to do it the other way around, feeding a fish tape up through the hole into the attic space, then in the attic tape the cord near the cam connector to the end of the fish tape, and then go back down and pull the fish tape and cord through the hole. The problem is that those wings they have on there made it a bear to get the connector through the hole. It’s an odd shape, and I had to work at it and work at it, basically pry it through with a screwdriver and just hope I didn’t end up messing it up. Cosmetically it was a little worse for wear, but no one else will ever see it, and once installed on the camera it functioned perfectly.So the end result is it works great, and I’m glad I got it. I can run the settings all the way up on the cam no matter how many warnings the app gives about decreasing battery life, because the battery never drops below 100% now. Love it! I just wish they’d skipped the unnecessary screw-in design with the wings sticking out either side of the barrel connector and just gave us a barrel connector on its own. The screws are overkill, and the design makes it hard to install through a hole.PS I don’t know whether the included USB charging adapter you plug into the wall is high quality or not. It’s a little bulky, but so far no problems. The good news is that if it ever goes out you can just grab any other standard USB power adapter out of your junk drawer (ideally rated to provide 1A or more) and neither the cam nor the cord itself will care.

Perfect fit, works great. I was a little dubious that this would fit under a closed window without causing difficulty with the seal of the window. To my surprise, it did work, and did so quite well.The proprietary end made to plug into the camera fits very snugly. There is a small rubber cap sealing the place on back of the camera that you have to remove before you can plug this in (it’s the rubber cap between the two small screw holes). Pop that out, and plug this in. It’s snug enough that I can’t imagine it falling out by accident, but you can use the two small included screws to make it even more secure.Prior to buying this, I had one of the Ring solar panels, but it could only keep up with keeping the battery charged if I minimized alert frequency, disabled the motion detection lights, disabled Live View (which when enabled, allows you to remotely connect to the camera anytime you wish and take a look at what the camera is seeing). This cord allowed me to reenable all the features, and the battery sits at 100% all the time, which is great!Note that the camera requires the battery whether or not you are using the cord. The cord simply charges the battery. The camera operates off the battery power, not directly from the cord.
