The Ring Stick Up Cam is an extremely flexible next-generation security camera that can be used both indoors and outdoors to bolster the security around your home. One of the keys to its flexibility is that the Stick Up Cam has a variety of ways it can be powered including:
- Powered by the Quick-Release Battery Pack alone
- Powered by the Quick-Release Battery together with a Ring solar panel
- Powered by the Quick-Release Battery together with a DC power cable and adapter
- Powered by a DC cable and adapter alone
The other element of its flexibility is that the camera comes with a Dual Power Mode. By selecting battery mode, you will use a different method of motion detection that helps to preserve battery life. By selecting wired mode, you will get a more powerful method of motion detection that would quickly drain a battery. By choosing the correct power mode, you can optimize your camera for the best motion detection customized for your situation.

Will switching power modes affect any of my settings?

Does the camera switch modes automatically? Do I have to switch power modes?
No. Your camera will not switch power modes automatically when changing the device's power supply. You also do not have to switch the power mode manually when changing the device's power supply. Be aware, however, that running Wired mode while powering the device with a battery will drain the battery very quickly.
