Hi, You are correct Ring Wired cams dk record for up to 60sec vs Battery cams which have a max video length of 30sec.There may be some confusion with regard to what a Wired Ring device is. "Wired" is a Maine powered only model. The Stickup cam V3 is a Battery model, but it is available to buy in three variants based on accessories supplied: Battery, USB power adapter (no battery), Solar panel (with battery). You can add a battery to the USB powered option to give some resiliency if there is a mains supply issue. But if your wifi is out, nothing will work anyway.Unfortunately it makes no difference how you power a Battery model, it does not current get an extended recording time or access to additional features available on Wired models.

Thank you, in a way that makes sense...... But is misleading as Ring sell the stick-up cam as a wired model, they don't state its a battery model. What I would have expected is that the device adjusts recording length based on power source, a very simple firmware fix.....I've just moved accross to Ring from Nest (due to the greater integration with Alexa, IFTTT etc). While I really like, there are some things that are very frustrating. Hopefully they will release improvements, like this, along with continuous recording and camera settings via schedule / geolocation.Fingers crossed!
