![]() Now the car camera features a built-in 4G LTE connection that allows its connected features, but it can also connect to your home wifi when you're parked into your driveway. And if you leave your car sitting for an extended period of time, it'll actually detect if your car's battery gets too low and turn itself all the way off so that you don't completely drain your battery and can still start the car when you get back. When the car is parked, it'll actually set itself into a low power mode and only wake up if it detects motion inside of the vehicle, at which point it'll send you a notification, start recording, and then after a while it'll turn itself off and go back into that low power mode. Speaker 1: Now the camera is designed to draw as little power as possible. In addition to the cameras, there's also an internal microphone that you can use for limited voice commands, which we'll get back to in a second, as well as an internal speaker that you can use for two-way communication. Nighttime quality suffers a bit more, but the footage is at least usable if you're on roads or highways that are reasonably illuminated. Quality is good enough to make out license plate numbers from about a car's length and broad daylight. Fact is you're stretching those pixels over a very wide F O V, so it's only gonna be so detailed. It's tough to tell if that's the camera's fault or if it's the h e VC two H dot 2 64 impact conversion that happens in the cloud before you can download the clip to blame. The 10 80 p footage isn't gonna win any cinematography awards and there are noticeable compression artifacts here both inside and out, particularly at night. ![]() The interior camera features infrared lights for a little bit of night vision as well as a privacy cover that you can flip up if you don't want the people that you've given access to your rain camera system to monitor you while you drive right, Now the car camera features two HD cameras, one facing outta the front of the vehicle with a 120 degree field of view and one pointing into the cabin with 153 degree F O V. O B D is the onboard diagnostics port that pretty much every car built after the year 1996 has usually somewhere under the dashboard and the camera's gonna be able to draw power from that even when the car's parked and turned off, so you don't have to take up one of your u SB ports or your 12 volt outlet. Once mounted, you've got a little bit of up and down adjustability and you're gonna be able to connect it to your car via a u SB type C to an O B D two adapter. ![]() Speaker 1: Now installation is pretty simple, but I'd recommend you go through the complete process in the ring app of pairing the car cam to your account before you install it in your car because you're gonna have to scan a QR code that's on the device and that won't be accessible once it's stuck to your windshield. ![]() Now that arm is designed to wedge into the space between your dashboard and the windshield and then affix to the glass with a very strong adhesive pad. When you're looking at it, bang on, of course, it's permanently affixed to its mounting arm, so it's around eight inches from tip to tip. Now the ring car camera is pretty small for dash cam only around 1.6 inches square. We're gonna take a look at the camera and see if it's worth the weight. And finally, the fruits of that labor are the ring car camera right here on our dashboard of Lincoln CNET car's long-term e V six test vehicle. Speaker 1: Now the ring car cam was initially announced way back in 2020 as part of Ring's security initiative for cars three years later. ![]()
