Ring’s most versatile Stick Up Cam is ideal for DIY application

Ring stick up cam and solar panel

If you’re looking for an inexpensive, high-quality DIY security system then the Ring Stick Up Cam is an ideal choice. We’ve always been big fans of Ring so when they contacted us to review one of their products we jumped at the opportunity.

Here are our top 5 reasons why Ring is the ideal security system, especially for a weekend DIY warrior. 

1. Sleek and compact design

Yeah, we know that this probably shouldn’t be your first consideration when choosing a security camera. However, you don’t exactly want a setup at your home that looks like you’re a resident in Nkandla. The Ring Stick Up Cam is sleek, compact, and fits well in any environment. 

2. Easy installation & setup

Unlike most security systems on the market, the Ring Stick Up Cam is made for the DIY weekend warrior. Mounting the camera and supporting solar panel took us 15 minutes in total and all we needed was an impact drill. The system even comes with its own screwdriver.

3. Seamless WiFi connectivity

One of the most impressive elements of the Ring Stick Up Cam is the seamless WiFi connectivity. All one needs to do is simply download the ring app, connect your phone to the device via WiFi, follow a couple easy steps and Bob’s your uncle. What a pleasure.

4. 1080p HD live view night vision

The 1080p HD camera gives you the ability to see everything in high definition, even at night. The device can also be set up to notify you of any movement within the field of view. This feature is excellent if you’re away from home or locked up for the evening.

5. Two way audio with noise cancellation

We’ve tested this feature and it’s awesome. The ring app connects you with a microphone and speaker on the device. This enables the user to communicate with anyone in close proximity and the quality is exceptional.

The Ring Stick Up cam is currently available fromTakealot, Incredible Connections, Vodacom and many other DIY retailers for R1,999. Add the solar panel for an extra R999.
