Ring - Floodlight Cam, Wired (newest model) — Wide-Angle Retinal 2K Video, 6x Enhanced Zoom, Ultra-Bright Floodlights - Black

If you already have Ring devices and a Ring subscription this Wide-Angle Retinal 2K video Floodlight Cam may be for you. I needed coverage on my walkout basement 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, (or just point your phone camera at the small QR code printed on the device) 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. The device also needs WiFi to send the video and to access the camera. The camera captures my entire patio area in its 140 degree field of view. It would be very difficult to get to my back door without activating the motion sensors. As an added bonus, the LED lights are nice and bright. There is also audio capture and two way talk. 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.

I've begun surrounding my home with Ring products after getting the ring doorbell. Have an indoor ring camera as well. Decided to get the floodlight for my backyard area. -------- All I can say is how super impressed I am with the range of the camera and detail it picks up. It's crazy impressive vertical and horizontal depth it can get. Its picking up my neighbors back yards as well and part of their homes. -------- The night vision is very good and the lights themselves are insanely bright. The motion activity to activate the lights is awesome and while my area isn't known to be unsafe, these bright blinding lights added with the camera you would think should be enough to scare people away. The motion sensor has such good range and camera that it notified me when my neighbor was doing yard work in his backyard, closer to his house. Now this can be adjusted but I feel like this amount of range is beneficial overall. ------- I can't speak on the install as I played it safe and had my electrician buddy install, but he said it took him less than 5 minutes to swap out the old backdoor light for it. ------- The flood lights themselves and camera can be angled and pointed at different areas to your liking. You can control the lights via the Ring app itself as well. Just like all Ring products, the functionality and benefits with the app really gives you a lot of flexibility of what you can do with these devices. ------- So far I'm really satisfied with this Ring device. I got it primarily as we are renovating our backyard and planning to put a patio/redo our deck, so it will be nice to keep a better eye on things. My kids also play out back a lot and I like that this can monitor them as well. I definitely recommend this product.

I'm happy with the newest Ring Wired floodlight camera. I already use the doorbell along with several other Ring floodlight cameras around my home, so I like having everything connected and easy to view in one app. The 2k video quality is very clear, and the zoom goes up to 6x, which makes it easy to get a closer look when needed. I have this camera on my back porch overlooking my pool and backyard. It gives a great view of the entire back yard. The floodlights are nice and bright. I especially appreciate that when I let my dogs outside at night becuse it lights up the yard really well. The only downfall I found was the mounting setup was different from the previous version. I was hoping it would be as simple as taking the old one down and putting the new one in its place, but it required a little more work. It was not difficult to install, but not as quick as I was hoping for since I was just replacing a previous Ring floodlight camera. Overall, the improved video quality, enhanced zoom and bright lights make this a great upgrade, especially if you already own Ring products.

Super easy to setup and use. I pulled off my older flood light and put the base mount up and hung the light on the strap holder. Which is a great feature to not drop the light. Only issue I ran into for installation was that there is a gap with foam and the wall. So I had put a little silicone to fill the gap. If you don't know how to aire this please hire an electrician or a handy person to do this for you or else you will mess this up or get hurt or elctrocuted. Anyway after installing setup was super easy. Because I have a ring account I just followed the prompts and I was in. If you don't have a ring account you will need to set one up. Also for continued ok online access you need to pay. This comes with a trial version but when it ends you will not have access to the detailed features and AI detect that is offered. Field of vision is the great. It spans the length of my driveway with the camera pretty much in the middle. It's about a 40 ft long driveway. Overall easy to use. Easy to get access. Easy to filter events. Bi directional talk and speaker are decent. There still is a slight lag but ok. Overall great camera. Great features for what is needed.

The Ring Floodlight Cam (wired, newest model) is a powerful floodlight & camera for outdoor security. Installation is simple if you already have existing wiring, and the Ring app makes setup fast and user-friendly. Video quality has soo far been sharp and detailed thanks to the Retinal 2K resolution,"The Ring Floodlight Cam (Wired) captures video in Retinal 2K resolution rather than traditional pixel counts. The product page for the Ring Floodlight Cam (Wired) doesn't specify a traditional pixel count. Ring markets this camera as 'Retinal 2K' video, which is their proprietary resolution standard rather than a megapixel measurement. making it easy to identify faces and objects even when zooming in. The floodlights are extremely bright and provide strong night coverage, though I am not quite certain on the lumen levels & motion detection is quick and generally accurate. Integration with my other Ring devices works seamlessly soo far. Minor audio control issues can be slightly frustrating because it seems to be either too quiet or bullhorn loud but we will make it work, putting a piece of white duct tape over the speaker has dulled it down to a good level. Overall I reccommend.
