Ring Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd Gen) vs Ring Stick Up Cam Battery

Buy the Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd Gen) if you want two-way talk, noise-cancelled audio and a camera that holds up better in reviews. The older Stick Up Cam Battery is the same 1080p camera with the same 130-degree view and battery power, but it drops the built-in speaker and microphone quality, and its 3.9 rating from over 1,100 owners is noticeably weaker than the 3rd Gen's 4.6. Both need a Ring Protect plan for recorded video, so the 3rd Gen is the safer pick for most people.

• Choose the Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd Gen) if you want two-way audio, a built-in speaker and the better-rated version of this camera.
• Choose the Stick Up Cam Battery if you already own older Ring gear and just need a basic 1080p battery camera without talk-back.
