What owners single out
Review 1 highlights poor resolution and blurred window footage, echoing buyer concerns about video quality limitations that video reviewers likely flagged.
In their words
“I have multiple Ring Indoor cameras installed around my house for security, as well as to keep an eye on two mischievous cats, especially during nighttime. This setup ensures I always know who caused any trouble. Recently, I received the Retinal 2K camera with 4X Zoom, which was very easy to connect to my 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and integrate with the Ring app. We subscribe to the annual Home Standard plan,”

This is without a doubt the worst Ring product I have ever purchased. To make it even worse returning it is not an option. My Ring Indoor camera 2nd gen way outperforms this in every way. And where is the zo”
