After a light rain, the app alerts me that the camera battery is low.  It isn't, my devices are plug in.  I have 3.  They all have done this.  Ring support said the cameras are malfunctioning and to return them to the store.  It took hours to get them wired through the eaves and attic 30 ft or so off the ground.  It's not worth redoing everything to have the same issue because I think it is a design flaw.   

I used an off brand camera outside for 4 years with no issues.  We bought Ring because we already had the doorbell.  The Ring Stick-up camera has let me down within the first month.  The focus keeps shifting from fuzzy to clear as well as the aforementioned weather issues.  The doorbell plastic has also become cloudy and started peeling off.  

We fixed one stick-up camera by drying out the power port and resealing it with weatherproof caulking.   

In general, I think that the competition has caught up with Ring, and there are several more reasonable and durable options to purchase.
