Customer Ratings & Reviews

I dreaded the price but I am very satisfied with the product. The light has a yellowish hue I actually liked my older spot light which was white hue. This is definitely an upgrade and gives a excellent picture day or night which you can view in my attached photos taken at night.

Great camera to protect my house and Amazon packages

For the longest time, I have had a very simple motion activated floodlight setup for our patio in the backyard. I’ve often thought about wanting to keep tabs on our dogs, watch for any other wildlife, or keep us more secure while lighting up that area. Well, enter Ring’s latest version of the Floodlight Cam Pro. This newest iteration captures video in 4K as opposed to 2K on the older model. It also adds what is dubbed as Low-Light Sight to the continued Color Night Vision. This model also has the ability to work with WiFi 6 whereas the last model worked with WiFi 4. You get all of that along with those two super bright 2000 Lumen floodlights. The installation process was pretty straightforward. Having that existing area and connection helped out a great deal there, but I think the average person with some electrical knowledge could install this easily. I am certainly not an electrician, and I got it working just fine. Once installed, it was turning back on the power and then establishing the connection. As it has been with the other Ring products I own, that process went without hiccups as well. Once it was installed and set up, it was time to let it do its job. Since we have two dogs, this area is constantly heaving with activity. They are always running to the back of the yard to chase squirrels or from one side to the other to bark at people as they pass by the front of the house. The Ring Floodlight Cam Pro was probably 80/20 in catching them in the act. This seems to be the norm because I get similar results with the doorbell. I will continue to tinker with the settings to see if I can improve that though. When it did capture the movement, the video was crisp and clean during the day. Panning and zooming worked really well too. When it comes to the nighttime action, I found the night vision to be pretty incredible. We picked up some coyote action when they entered the yard, and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted this coverage. We want to make sure we can keep our family, kids and dogs, safe at all times. I’ve also tried things at different light levels. I am very happy to have that option with how much light these things can provide. I’m also impressed with that light schedule in the app as well. While I take issue with some settings within the Ring app, I think that light schedule is very nice. The last thing we need is those to turn on all day long. All in all, I am a big fan of this addition to our Ring household. If you are already using their products, I don’t think you can go wrong for your home security and lighting needs in an area that you want to monitor. Just remember to take the time to tinker with the settings in the app. The recording time, brightness of the lights, your zones to monitor, and alerts are the main ones that I think you definitely need to check and fine tune.

The Ring Floodlight Cam Pro V2 is my first floodlight install and my first camera device from Ring. What drew me to the Ring camera is its 4K sensor and ability to record 24/7, two main capabilities that I’m very much used to with another brand of camera system. It was welcoming to hear that this is an option now and it made my decision to try Ring much easier. The Floodlight Cam Pro V2 sports a 4K sensor with a 140 degree horizontal wide field of view (85 degree vertical) and allows for clarity at up to 10X zoom. The floodlights themselves produce up to 2000 lumens at a warm 3000K. The camera offers two way talk and active noise cancelling. I opted to install my floodlight on the side of my house, an area that I actually don’t have covered by any type of camera system. It’s a case of “it was meant to be” seeing that I wanted a full-time wired camera and all that was on that side of a house was an outdoor wall light. Since the floodlight is a wired install, it was a perfect choice. Installation was fairly simple with the only concern being the hardware supplied. Ring is very generous about providing a variety of screws of different lengths to mount the main bracket to your current junction box. Unfortunately, none of them worked on my ancient junction box, but I was able to reuse the screws from the older wall lamp bracket. So make sure to hold onto your older stuff during the install…just in case. If you’re a seasoned light fixture installer or are very handy, the installation is self explanatory when you look at the 3 main parts. But for the rest of us, the Ring App will guide you through the installation process, including to make sure you have shut off power to the circuit you intend to install the floodlight on. Once the hardware installation is complete, the app will begin its onboarding process of the floodlight into your account. This included me being near the floodlight for the app to recognize it, choosing a wifi to connect to, and a 10-15 minute software update. In about 30 minutes, I was up and running in the Ring App and able to see my view of the side yard. From here, this is where the real fun begins. Ring does include a 30-day trial of its Ring Home Premium plan, its top tier plan that includes AI video analysis and 24/7 video recording, so I’ll continue to talk about this review with the Premium plan in mind and what you’ll need at a minimum moving forward. Out of the chute, the Floodlight Cam Pro V2 was recording my movements as I worked to adjust the camera point and lights to better fit my side yard. Seeing that I do have a clear view of my neighbors yard as well, I was able to go into the app settings and set detection zones so that I don’t trigger any unneeded notifications. I was also able to adjust the floodlight brightness settings that I felt worked perfectly for the space. There are some things you’ll probably have to do once you have yours installed. Viewing the camera can be done in three ways. You can live stream your camera by simply tapping on the thumbnail of your view. This will immediately bring up the Live View where you can turn the lights on or off, activate the siren, and even send precanned replies. This is probably the preferred way to view your camera live. Then there’s something called Timeline. It’s not an option readily available from your app dashboard view and can only be by tapping “End Live” when you’re in Live View. When in timeline view, you can scrub through the events back and forth by simply swiping your finger left and right on the timeline bar. Finally, there is a dedicated button for “History” from the dashboard where you can replay specific events that happened, up to 180 days in history. Now what I found is that 24/7 is not on by default and is something you have to turn on in the app. I’m a big proponent of 24/7 recording as it picks up even the tiniest of movements that sometimes the software doesn’t see as a detection. With 24/7 recording on, Timeline view becomes invaluable to a user as they can scrub through the recordings to notice things that weren’t automatically detected. That being said, 24/7 view is a luxury and only comes with the Ring Home Premium at a premium monthly cost. Also, it does tax the amount of upload bandwidth you have, especially this being a 4K camera. It’s obviously nice, but not a requirement to have to use this floodlight camera. The other thing I found that needed to be turned on is AI alerts, which analyze your events and provide a summary for you to read alongside the recording itself. I obviously turned it on for the sake of science (and unfortunately, it is also only offered as part of the Ring Home Premium plan), and it was like having ChatGPT on speed dial. It was pretty good about describing specific people and things. For example, I was given a “A person is opening the door and walking on the paved area” and even a “A person is opening the brown gate” on two different event occasions. My brown gate is the entrance to my side yard from the front of the house, so if I read this, I would immediately know that someone is accessing my side yard. Again, a very nice thing to have, but not a requirement to use this floodlight camera. But man, it is nice. From a quality and detection standpoint, the Ring Floodlight Cam V2 showed no problems with detection and what it was detecting. In my case… a skunk. Never in a million years would I have guessed that a skunk would use my yard as a routine path to wherever it needs to go at night. And get this….the AI alert told me it was a skunk! I was able to replay back the recording, and even zoom in to see the skunk’s features. It’s pretty darn good. The floodlights are very bright and I had to dim them a bit so I don't blind my neighbors. The floodlights do come on about a second late when it detects the initial motion, and that may be fine for most things like detecting a human being, but that skunk was moving pretty quick. And for something that small and quick, I give many kudos to the Ring team for their detection algorithm. Again, AI detection and 24/7 recording do come at a cost. Overall, I’m very happy with the Floodlight Cam V2 and its features. Now that it’s up and running, it’s a “set it and forget it” type of device that will do its job notifying me when things are happening. And depending on your situation, you can opt in or out of the 24/7 + AI features that the premium plan offers. I’d say I’d go for it if your camera faces a busy area, and not so much if the camera is pointed to an area that’s essentially boring.

I’ve been in the Ring ecosystem for about 8 years now, including doorbells, the Ring Alarm, and countless cameras to keep an eye on our property. I selected this Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd generation) 4K to replace the previous generation Ring Floodlight Cam Pro that is covering our driveway. It’s the main view I look at when checking in on home from away and it provides the most information about things going on at home. One huge pro is that Ring made this compatible with existing Ring Floodlight Cam mounts. I had the floodlight cam mount that converts the hardwire cam into a 25’ or so long standard electrical plug. With this setup, it took me less than 15 minutes to swap this camera out from the previous generation camera using the included screw and nut driver. Ring is all about making things simple and this camera is no exception. As soon as it’s powered on, you open the Ring app, select add a device, pick the device you have purchased from the list, and scan the QR code on the device. The app will guide you through both installation (if needed) and then device setup with the Ring service. An audible voice on the camera lets you know that setup is complete and you can start using the camera. Things you can configure during setup are the types of alerts you wish to receive (people, vehicles, and other types of motion) and whether or not you want to just record or also get a push notification for these types of motion. You can also draw motion zones to exclude things like the street so you only get motion alerts where and when it matters. The picture on this camera is definitely better than the previous generation Ring Floodlight Pro, as this is a 4K camera. Nighttime is wheee this device really shines, as the built in infrared illuminators provide effectively a full color image about 20-30 feet away from the camera *without* turning on the floodlights. The floodlights themselves are bright and do light up a lot of darkness - but I truly find the image better without the floodlights on at nighttime in most circumstances. The motion activated floodlights do serve as a good deterrent to would-be ne’er-do-wells as it draws attention to the camera and puts their dark activities in bright light. I also have this linked in the Ring app to trigger motion recording and turn on lights on adjacent cameras to ensure that activity going on all around the perimeter of the home is captured. One thing to note is that this device does not do continuous recording unless you have a Ring Premium subscription - it’s all event based (as are most Ring cameras). Recording is triggered either by motion or by user initiated live viewing. Also, you need a subscription to review recorded videos and download them. If you don’t have a subscription, you can do live view videos, two way talk through the camera and control the lights, but no historical videos or downloads are available. Subscriptions range from $4.99-19.99 per month and come with various numbers of covered devices, recording features, and in the case of the Alarm - the top tier subscription includes professional monitoring and response. One thing I did notice is that the camera provides a very wide field of view, and a high quality image - but in our case, I still find it difficult to read license plates - even in the daytime with plenty of light. Your placement may affect this and you may have better luck here. Overall, this is a solid upgrade if you have a previous generation Ring Floodlight Camera or if you want to jump into the Ring ecosystem for your first floodlight camera.

Ring just introduced the 2nd Generation Floodlight Cam Pro with Retinal 4K. I am very satisfied with the older Ring 1st Generation Floodlight Cam Pro, but jumped at the chance to enhance the image quality of one of the security cameras. I was not prepared for the incredible difference in image quality that the Retinal 4K brings. I can see individual mortar between the bricks of the house across the street, over 250 feet away! I can easily read the license plate of any car that enters our driveway. Night vision is also greatly improved. Setup is the easiest of any camera I have connected. All necessary hardware, including screws, screwdriver & nut runner, are included. The camera instantly found my existing Ring cameras & joined them on the network. The 3D radar system produces useful movement notifications in the target area; this is another dramatic improvement. The floodlights have adjustable intensity, using the Ring app. They are much brighter than the generation 1 floodlights & look like automotive high beam headlights. CONCLUSION: Ring hit it out of the park with this Retinal 4K Floodlight Cam Pro. In fact, today I ordered the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro with Retinal 4K because the image quality of this Floodlight Cam Pro is so vastly improved, I want to replace my old 1080P cameras with Ring Retinal 4K. Floodlight Cam Pro earns my highest recommendation!

If you already have Ring devices and a Ring subscription this Floodlight Pro Cam may be for you. I needed coverage on my side garage door. There was an existing switched light but no camera coverage in an area with limited visibility. This Floodlight Cam was just what I was looking for. What’s in the box: Ring Floodlight Cam Assortment of mounting screws Wire nuts Screwdriver Mounting bracket Protected by Ring sticker The floodlight cam came with all the necessary mounting hardware and an assortment of screws to ensure it would work with most existing junction boxes. Installation is pretty straightforward. First and foremost, turn off the power to the existing light. Double check to make sure it’s off. Then remove the old light, wire up and mount the Floodlight Cam and test. If you have a standard junction box, standard wiring and a flat vertical mounting surface you are good to go. I didn’t have a standard junction box and my siding isn’t exactly vertical. But I made it work without much difficulty. After you turn the power back on, go into the Ring app on your phone and go through the “add device” process, then you should be good to go. Do note that this device needs ac power. It’s not a battery cam. If you are replacing an existing switched light, that switch needs to remain in the on position (just sayin). The device also needs WiFi to send the video and to access the camera. This floodlight cam came with a 30 day trial Ring subscription. But I already had a Ring subscription that supports multiple devices. If you don’t have an existing Ring subscription, you will need one to get access to the expected features. I have to say that I am impressed with the video quality. The camera is a long way from my router, yet the connection is solid. The motion detection is good too. In summary, this Ring Floodlight cam works reliably and even though the price feels a bit high, it’s worth it to me for the convenience and peace of mind.

We’ve had the Ring security system and cameras for a long time and this is the best camera yet. Right out of the box the camera looks and feels of good quality, it also comes with instructions, hardware and even a tool to easily install it. As for the installation, it is very easy, especially because the Ring application walks you step by step on how to do so and it even shows troubleshooting examples and what to do. The application is also easy to use, I can look from anywhere at what is going on in front of the camera and since it has a two way speaker; I can talk and listen to whoever is there. The camera does have very clear video, best of all it is in color even with low light, it does look much better than the other cameras around the house; this one is now in the front of the house where there is more traffic all day long. We can zoom in to see much more detail than ever before, and the wide angle covers the entire front of the house. And if we are having a gathering I can mute the notifications for a certain amount of time. One function we like is the zones, we can setup the zone where it can send us notifications, since this camera sees towards the side walk, we did not want all the notifications, if any was walking by, we just made a zone, by highlighting where the zone starts and ends. If anybody walks past the zone then we get notified otherwise we do not get bothered. The system does not need Alexa but works well with it, and the camera is linked to the other cameras so we have it setup if one goes off two others start recording at the same time. The remote siren is also a good thing to have, the siren will alert and it is loud enough that it deters unwanted guests. Overall, it is a great upgrade to have in front of the house where there is more traffic, we get alerts when we want and it deters unwanted visitors.

This is my third Ring Camera to date. My other cameras are the Floodlight Cam Plus and the Video Doorbell 2. The Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen) blows those cameras out of the water...or rather, off of the house. The picture quality is stellar. Crisp, clean, great color. The motion detection is on point. The light is bright and literally floods the zone. A small caveat is the "fisheye" design of the camera. That, I'm not as big of a fan of. I don't have that with my other Floodlight Cam. I know it's better as far as giving me the most visible area, but it's a bit hard to adjust my eyes to it. If privacy wasn't a concern, I would include images to show the difference between the two cameras. The newer Floodlight is in a spot that covers a lot more space than the original Floodlight Cam, so I know it's necessary. It's just not what I'm used to seeing. Installation was straight forward, but in our case not necessarily easy. I don't think that was the fault of light, however. It was more that we were trying to install it in single degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures. I don't recommend doing that if it can at all be helped. I would allow yourself time to do the install. We had an additional hiccup with our junction box (not the fault of the camera) and ended up having to replace it. Small things like that might pop up, so allow for that. Connecting it to the app, and our existing Ring ecosystem, was a breeze. I've been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra connecting to other (non-Ring) smart devices, so I was relieved when this updated without issue. I recommend this product highly. I also recommend the Ring brand in general.

I wanted this because I have an old spot light that rarely functions. I think it has something to do with the sensor not actually picking up motion. I thought, since I already have power running to the spotlight, this will be a pretty simple installation. I was wrong I don't know all the details because I eventually had to hire an electrician, but long story short, when I got up there to install it, I couldn't get the Ring Floodlight powered on. I tried everything the app suggested, I tried everything I read online and watched YouTube videos on and still couldn't get it powered on. Once the electrician fixed it, he finished the rest of the installation. To Ring's credit, it does include most of everything inside of the box if you're replacing an existing floodlight. Now that it's installed, I honestly am very happy with the product. It captures my movement much more reliably, turns on the light so I can see at night now and it offers a sense of security for the front of my house. The camera quality is excellent, the lights are bright and I am glad I have it. I already have a Ring subscription and this just was added without any issues. It seems like it's using a Google Maps image of the top of my house for the 3D image, but it's cool how it can track the path of someone walking to my house. I did have to modify the detection range because it was very much over triggering when people would walk in front of my house on the sidewalk which was kind of annoying.

I have had the pleasure of testing many flood light cameras. This is my first ring flood light that I am able to test. Setup was super easy.... The package came with pretty much everything you need to install the floodlight. The screw driver doubles as a nut installer. See photos. Soooooo... If you don't know how to wire a light. Go hire someone or if geek squad can do it hire them. You will get hurt or electrocuted if you don't know what you are doing. Or even cause an electric fire. Anyway passed the disclaimer. If you know how to wire simple 3 wire installation. Hot, neutral, and ground. The kit comes with bracket and all the different potential screw sizes with different lengths etc. also the light comes with a hanger so you don't have to strain the conductors whole you or put the electrical wing nuts on. Great idea.... After you install the light and flip the switch setup is super easy. Follow the app step by step and you are in. Use the custom settings as you wish and you are up and running. Field of vision is really good. Pretty much 180 degrees left and right and 90 degrees up and down. Pictures and video are nice and clear.. day is really sharp and night vision with and without light is good. Night vision when flood light is on is good clear color. Night black and white is also good. Here is the rub. Catching the motion and timing is always an issue with all of these cloud storage devices. It is not 100%. So just be aware of it. Other than that. Pretty solid device for what it is intended.

Ring’s newest model Floodlight Cam Pro is every bit the upgrade you’d like, and I think one of the best options for a hardwired camera with flood lighting. Here are some of the biggest selling points for this newly upgraded model: It has 4k video, providing a level of clarity even if zooming you couldn’t hit on their older models. It has dual band WiFi, allowing for either 2.5Ghz or 5Ghz connections. The WiFi is also capable of WiFi 6 connectivity. Both will allow for better live viewing of the 4k quality video feed. As someone with a 2K battery powered camera, I honestly think that going from 2k to 4k isn’t the most necessary thing. However, this is highly subjective, and one would need to take into consideration the location of the camera and distances you may intend to see from this camera’s position. Installation is straightforward if you’ve ever replaced any outdoor lighting fixtures. If you are not replacing an existing fixture with this, you’ll likely need far more experience or an electrician. If you are replacing a fixture and you’re comfortable working with electrical, this is not hard to do and comes with nearly most of the tools you’ll need. Installation involves shutting off power, removing the existing fixture and hardware, and installing the new fixture. You start with the mounting bracket in the existing electrical box, with a plentiful selection of screws to meet your needs. You place the mounting plate up, routing the wires through, and cleverly using a hook to hold the main unit up while connecting the wires, using the supplied wire nuts for the three wires (black/white/green, aka hot, neutral, and ground). From there, you fully place the unit against the wall and screw it in. You will need to get weatherproof caulk for this installation – something that the box and instructions don’t tell you up front. Speaking of instructions, there are none in the box. You will use the Ring app to guide you through installation – when I found out I’d need to purchase caulk. Personally, I’d prefer printed instructions (which are on their website, but in not as much detail), as I find that easier to deal with, especially when I’m on a ladder and don’t want to risk dropping my phone. Frankly, the instructions aren’t much more detailed than what I wrote above. Again, it’s not difficult if you have ever replaced any fixtures or outlets or light switches before – and your electrical wiring is straight forward (my first choice of location had a mess of wiring far beyond my understanding). Once installed, the app connects to your phone and then WiFi, updates, and guides you through settings easily. If you’ve ever installed any WiFi connected smart devices in the past few years, it works very similarly. It’s worth noting that you don’t have to but will likely want a Ring subscription plan. This is necessary, but if you want to view recorded videos, save them, or share them, you’ll have to have their subscription. There are a few tiers and that will largely depend on the number of devices you have. As someone with several Ring devices, adding on this new unit did not affect my plan since I have it set up for unlimited cameras at $99.99 yearly. The camera settings aren’t much different if you’ve used any ring camera. There’s a variety of notification settings, alert settings, and motion control settings. In my case my camera overlooks part of a neighbor’s yard. I was able to adjust it to not only have motion disabled if they walked in their own yard and into part of the cameras view, but also create that as a private zone, so I won’t even be able to see what’s there on the video feed. There are also several lighting settings. The lighting by default, is incredibly bright and you can adjust the brightness. You can also adjust when the lights come on (motion, time of day, or both), conversely when they do not come on, how long they’ll stay on for when motion activated and more. You can also use this and your other newer ring outdoor cameras to adjust a “bird’s eye” view of your property and the motion that has it set up. I don’t have enough cameras around my parameter for this to have been more helpful than just the normal settings, but it’s a neat feature that works with satellite imagery to give you a high level overview of activity on your property. Beyond the monthly or yearly fees, I can’t speak much to the other known and talked about negatives of using Ring – your data privacy. This is a highly debated issue that I’m no expert on. I do know there are several features, such as an AI description/summary of videos, that do notify you that your data and recordings will be sent into Ring to process. Personally, I don’t find that convenience worth the privacy concern. It should also be noted that any WiFi connected security cameras that involve a live service could have potential security issues. That’s not specific to Ring, but if you are that privacy minded, you don’t use any WiFi based security solutions. Overall, I think the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen) was the perfect camera for the area I needed it placed. I needed a camera and I needed better lighting. This accomplished both and was an easy installation. The quality of the video is fantastic, and the brightness of the lights make that part of my yard feel like daytime at night. Personally, with this being hardwired and as someone who can handle basic electrical work, I’d encourage anyone looking between Ring models to go for this one as the newest and most “future-proof” model currently available.

The Ring Floodlight Pro has been an excellent added security measure for our home. I installed ours over the garage door, where it captures the entire front of our home. The camera has solid motion detection that alerts us and starts recording if triggered. If it is triggered during night hours or in dim light, the floodlights also illuminate. The floodlight camera ships with the light, camera mount and mounting hardware. A small screwdriver is included and is the only tool required. No printed instructions were included, however a scannable QR code link to download the Ring app is provided. Installation and setup are then completed in the Ring app. The app-driven installation is simple for anyone who has ever installed a light fixture. First time device setup in the app is also simple and straightforward. I already had an HD Ring floodlight camera installed, so I removed it and installed the new camera in its place. A handy anchor cable is built into the camera that hooks to the mount to keep the camera securely in place while performing the wiring. I started to re-use the previous camera's mounting base but changed my mind since this camera is white and the previous camera was black. The camera holes that slide over the base screws can be a little tricky to slide through fully, but that’s the only step that caused any issues. Once the floodlight was installed, I added it to my existing Ring app, and the app applied a firmware update. I’m usually disappointed by the vast majority of device apps because many are poorly developed. However, the Ring app is one of the best out there. It is stable and always alerts me reliably, when something is detected. It is also full of useful features beyond Ring devices. One example, Neighbors is a community within Ring where Ring subscribers in the immediate vicinity share safety tips, warnings, alerts, or even weather information. It’s like having our own crowdsourced neighborhood watch. The only thing I’m not wild about are the loud wind chime–sounding alerts, but at least the alert tone is jarringly loud enough to wake me from a deep sleep if I set the phone volume to max and someone starts poking around our driveway in the middle of the night. Video quality can be subjective, but I like it. I was admittedly a little disappointed initially because the video from my previous HD camera seemed superior to this new 4K “retina” Pro camera. The older camera footage seemed sharper, cleaner, and had much better contrast. The new camera looked washed out and overexposed by comparison. Ironically, I opted for the HD camera over the Gen 1 Pro last year after reading numerous user reviews saying they preferred the HD video quality over the Pro. I will agree, at first glance the HD camera video looks more natural and outright better. However, things get interesting when I begin to zoom in. That’s where smaller, more granular details are more clearly visible on the newer camera, especially in dim light footage. Zooming is where the higher resolution is most useful, not necessarily viewing the entire frame. I’d much rather have a washed-out looking video where I can clearly read the plate numbers of a vehicle on the street than a prettier video at first glance that muddies up smaller details as I zoom in tighter. Night vision on these cameras is phenomenal. The IR illumination works really well, and I can see footage quite clearly in IR lighting when the floodlights are off. When the floodlights are on, I get sharp full-color video. The adjustable motion detection is also nice. I can set detection zones and omit areas I don’t want triggered by motion. I can adjust motion sensitivity or completely disable it. I can also live view and/or manually record at will. When the camera senses motion, it begins recording and saves a snapshot in the history. The Ring app is an excellent tool for monitoring and securing our residence. It monitors all our Ring cameras. The user interface is nicely done, being both easy and intuitive to navigate. When the floodlight camera, or any of our other Ring cameras, senses motion, they send an alert to the app. I am notified through an audible chime or vibration (if the device is on silent), which I receive on both my smartphone and smartwatch. When I open the Ring dashboard in the app, I instantly see a snapshot from every camera at that specific moment. I can then choose to view live or go through the history of recordings, and I can filter by any camera. I can download and save video at will. Some features, like Bird’s Eye View, feel more gimmicky than useful, but are still nice to have. The app can also host Ring alarm systems and other Ring devices. My Ring cameras have withstood all the seasons like a champ. In my region, we can go as low as zero or below in the winter to highs of 100 or more in the summer. I’ve never had any of my Ring devices stop working due to excessive cold or heat. And the floodlight camera is in direct sunlight for the better part of the day. They’re durable devices.

We already had a wired Ring Doorbell Camera and I had been wanting to replace our floodlight with a high quality 4K Floodlight security camera so when I saw that Ring had come out with such a device, it was a no-brainer. It was super easy to install and replace our old floodlight since the wiring is the same. I love the maneuverability of the lights which really allows you to light specifically the areas you need to - our old floodlight kind of shined too much light off our driveway and onto our neighbors house. And the camera works great with the ring app, providing super clear 4K pictures and instant notifications. PROS - 4K Picture Quality - Great Lights that can be easily positioned - Super Easy Installation CONS - If the camera was a 360 moving camera, it'd be even better. - Does require a monthly subscription for full functionality If you want a quality camera with floodlights to replace your current flood light then you can't go wrong with this one from Ring. Being the latest, it has 4K quality video and it really shows, allowing you to clearly see all the details. It also has excellent night vision, but of course, because it has floodlights if motion is detected it'll light up the area for a clear color visual even at night. The Ring app is also great in the way it alerts you - I get instant notifications whenever motion is detected. And viewing videos in the app, whether live or from history, is very easy. The floodlights attached to this camera are great - they can be moved independently and allow you to really light up the area in the exact way you want. They provide the perfect amount of light to deter would-be thieves as well as to light up things for the camera. Removing our old floodlight and replacing it with the Ring Camera Floodlight was much easier to do than I thought it might be. The Ring camera goes up just like any floodlight would - there's no extra steps because of the camera. Of course because the camera uses WiFi you need to make sure you have a strong WiFi signal wherever you are installing this. One thing to keep in mind, as with most security camera systems, you will need a Ring subscription to get the most out of this camera, so make sure you take a look at those and know going in that will add to your cost over time. There is not a whole lot else to say about this other than that I am overall very please with it. It's an excellent flood light and a super high quality camera all rolled into one and is part of the Ring ecosystem which has proven to be one of the best security camera systems out there. Whether your whole house is already set up with Ring and you're looking to add this to the mix or you're just looking for one camera to add to your house, this is definitely an excellent choice.

I have for the longest time wanted to replace my old and aging flood light on my house facing the driveway and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. Everything from installation to performance and video quality exceeded what I wanted. I am so happy RING is finally moving to higher and higher resolution with their cam lineups. Included in the box is everything you need to get started. A couple of things you will need if this is your 1st Ring product is to download the App and personally a level for the mounting. You get the floodlight, a multi-tool and a ton of hardware (screws, caps etc). If you are NOT savvy with electrical work, I would recommend getting an electrician or Geek Squad to assist you. I am not a novice but I am also no way a pro but it was easy enough for me to install it myself. Installation took me from start to finish roughly 25 minutes as most of the time was spent removing my old floodlight and prepping the wiring for the Ring. Make sure there is NO POWER running to box and you should have just 3 wires. Green, White and Black for ground, hot and neutral. Using the App, it guides you step by step for the installation, and 1 thing I love is that this job is easily a 1 person job. A great thing Ring had in mind for installers in that when you are connecting the wiring, they have a hang tab you can put the floodlight on the mounting box so it will make it 1000x easier to install. Once everything was installed and power restored, I was greeted with the chime and the App walked me though to connecting it to my network and adding it to my account. Quality is outstanding. During the sunny times picture is crisp and sharp. I can zoom in pretty far and still see small details. At night, the night vision has improved a lot from my other outdoor cams. I even tested it with my and my friends cars to see if I can see both our license plates. While parked in the day, it was easy to read and even with night vision in the dark, it was perfect as well! I didn't upload pics of that for obvious reasons, but take my word for it lol. I am beyond excited for Ring's new 4k lineup of cameras and will most definitely be replacing my older 1080p cams in the future.

We replaced another Ring Floodlight with this one and we made the mistake of thinking this would be an easy swap. We had a different mounting box ring (installed when we replaced our siding) which required that we widen it for this model. The modification took a few hours. Connecting the wires only took 5 minutes. On average this install would only take about 30 minutes if you don’t have mounting issues. The QR code instruction manual is difficult to read on a phone. Be patient when connecting to the Ring app. It walks you through and then takes about 10 minutes to fully connect at the end. It will connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. We already have other Ring devices. Don’t make the same mistake we did – delete the old camera first as it won’t let me delete it now. And don’t name it the same. The difference between this and our old Ring Floodlight Cam is huge. More clarity and a wider monitoring range. The floodlight itself is much brighter. The 4K is excellent. Night view has more color and clarity. The floodlight is 2000 lumens. Motion detection is excellent and you can fine tune it to pick up people, cars and other motion as it suits you. You can also exclude specific motions. It comes with a trial Ring subscription. You will have to subscribe to a plan for full features and to save and share video history. Ring says the operating temperature is -5 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Here in Minnesota we have never had an issue with our previous Ring devices at temperatures lower than -5 degrees so this one will probably be fine. This is a very nice Floodlight Cam and I highly recommend.

Finally a 4k version of the ring setup has come and im here for it. I was just about to install the gen 1 flood light ring camera on my garage to add to a couple on my house when this 2nd generation had come out. Needless to say I went ahead and got this one. Im glad I did because the new 4k resolution on this really is a lot better in terms of overall picture and especially sharpness. I was able to start reading license plates from the end of the driveway which is a good 30+ ft away and with the gen 1s even 15ft closer Its too pixalized lol. The install weather you have a box or flush mount is very straight forward and in my case I simply had to shut the power off to that circuit of my breaker and it was a very simple 2 wire situation with the only hard part being climbing up the ladder in my case. Real easy beyond that and simple instructions but of course when dealing with electrical you can always pay a professional. Anyway the lights are super bright and turn on with motion as per usual. When they are not on the night vision mode on the camera works flawlessly to still see in the darkness. All of the usual Ring features inside of the app work here, it has great mic presence to be able to hear everything and I feel like the biggest kicker here is just how crispy the footage is on this. I was so used to the quality of gen 1 that I had no idea it would be this good on gen 2 lol now I have to update my other 2. Either way if your in the ring ecosystem or your just starting out I would highly recommend this to be an investment for you and not looking back. Everything is excellent!

Packing was easy to open and everything was easy to find. All instructions are electronic via QR code or the Ring app. They are clear and step by step. Has everyone you possibly need to mount the camera. I mounted it under a soffit. The lights provides plenty of brightness for our yard after dark. Motion detection works great with the lights and picks up our small dogs. Video quality is great and using 24/7 continuous recording with the very handy new Ring AI familiar faces. Zoom works good.

Hi resolution! Very clear , east to install, step by step instructions. Connecting to WiFi was flawless, satisfied with purchase. Best Buy team member very helpful in helping me choose this camera!

I like the clarity of the video quality, and the lights provide very bright clear view of the yard. I like the new features that give you a description of the motion.
