  I have the same issue with direct sunlight in the summer time, surface temps are between 105 and 140 all summer. My Video doorbell has broken down twice and I think it's heat. I want to buy more RIng products, but the temperature specs listed are not good enough. I no longer trust they will last. Sadly, I will need to find another solution which will cost more money.

  I can tell you that they do not work in low temps. Ours have been offline for days, the batteries are not charging with the solar panels. So even though the specs say -5 to 120 they cannot handle the cold. Also they should be transmitting on their own when power or internet goes out but that too was affected by the cold, including the security system inside the house. So all in all our system has been "offline" for days now

  The camera itself is probably fine with the cold temperatures (maybe someone with a wired cam can chime in regarding that) but the lithium-ion batteries that the cameras use will not function when the temperature gets below -5F. We had a 10 day or so span of -15F to -25F temperatures at night, and my cams would go offline during the overnight hours. They would come back online in the morning once the sun came up and the temperature warmed up a bit. The cameras also rely on internet connectivity in order to function, so if your internet is down due to power loss other factors the cameras will not be able to send their recordings to the cloud.
