You have to switch to satellite images prior to setting up Bird\u2019s Eye View to see an aerial shot of your property, place the camera roughly where you think it is on the map, and personalize the 3D Motion Detection zone, up to 30 feet away from the camera. Once Bird\u2019s Eye View is set up, you\u2019ll start seeing yellow dots that reflect someone\u2019s current path on camera.

For the most part, what Bird\u2019s Eye View tracks is what you can already see in the video. It gives you a different perspective, and radar tracking is able to pick up some motion your camera\u2019s sensor can\u2019t, but Ring makes you choose between Bird\u2019s Eye View and the classic Pre-Roll feature\u2014and that doesn\u2019t feel like a fair competition. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":7,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":7,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":7,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":644} --><\/p>\n<p> Pre-Roll captures what happened on camera before a motion-activated clip started recording, and this feature varies based on which Ring Stick Up Cam Pro you buy. The Plug-In version we\u2019re reviewing features Advanced Pre-Roll which can capture a 6-second video clip in 1080p HD with full audio.

When you set up your Ring camera, you\u2019ll be able to see nearby Ring cameras from your neighbors within a set range.

One of the reasons it\u2019s able to pick up motion so well is its wide field of view. I\u2019d be standing to the camera\u2019s side, where I didn\u2019t think it could see me, and the blue light would turn on indicating it had detected motion and was recording. You can see a lot of the environment, and you don\u2019t need to manually tilt or rotate the camera via the app to do so. The wide FOV creates a bit of a fisheye effect, but it doesn\u2019t remove the video clarity. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":496} --><\/p>\n<p> The recorded video clips when motion is detected are a nice feature, but you have to pay for a Ring Protect subscription (starting at $3\/month) to get them. Plus, as mentioned, you have to choose between seeing what happened before motion was detected with Pre-Roll or seeing where someone\u2019s been with Bird\u2019s Eye View. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":828} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":828,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":72,\"nextBlockCount\":643,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1471} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":15,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":15,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> I primarily had the Stick Up Cam Pro on my patio while testing, and although it picked up motion from people, it also picked up motion from my cats.

Even budget cameras like SwitchBot&#8217;s 2K Tilt Cam for $60 can produce 2K image quality, so it&#8217;d be nice to see a higher resolution than 1080p in Ring&#8217;s pricey cameras. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":18,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":18,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":18,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":421} --><\/p>\n<p> There are features besides video quality for both Ring&#8217;s Stick Up Cam Pro and Reolink&#8217;s TrackMix WiFi that could be improved, as well as features that make each camera worth buying.
