Winnowl Verdict

Even though the Ring Indoor Cam 1080p HD just cleared our audit with a DEFICIENT (47) Winnowl Index, that score is really a sign that you're paying for the name on the box more than the actual features you're getting. You’re looking at a Mediocre Performance and Mediocre Value product here, but it’s coming from a company with Strong Brand Strength, so you're definitely paying a premium just for that name on the box. If you're looking at the Ring Indoor Cam 1080p HD, Home Security, Compact Design, the specs show that you will likely see anyone in the immediate foreground clearly, but the rest of the room will likely fade into a black "void" simply because that Night Vision Range of 15 ft sits 78% below the class average. Honestly, we’d suggest a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product; that 58% higher price tag results in 23% less hardware for your dollar than the class average, so you're really not getting much for the extra cash.

Honestly, compared to other options out there, this product's performance is 55% below the average and earns a Mediocre Performance rating. While the Resolution indicates you should find the clarity sufficient for standard indoor monitoring, providing a crisp 1080p image that handles most lighting well, the big catch is that the 15 ft Night Vision Range means that you will likely see anyone in the immediate foreground clearly, but the rest of the room will likely fade into a black "void" is something you'll just have to deal with.
