Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am giving it 4.5. Upgraded from HD to 4k I'll start with the only negative I have found so far. The night vision isn't as good as I would have liked. It's okay, but wish it was better in low light. Maybe eventually it will be with software updates. The good? The zoom on this thing is amazing. Everything looks so clear in 4k. Daytime vision is amazing. No issues detecting motion. Range of the view is superior. Easy install. I am happy with the purchase.

Love the 4k video quality and the speakers quality is great. You can actually have a clear two conversation.

A couple of months back my family purchased Amazon's Echo Show 21 as we were eager to gain access to Alexa+ and have a large screen that would allow us to easily view our Video Doorbell. While we very much enjoyed using the Echo Show 21, our Nest Doorbell (now owned by Google) was poorly integrated with Amazon and didn't work well with our other Amazon devices. Because Amazon owns Ring, we figured we would have a better experience if we started transitioning over to Ring branded doorbells and cameras. The video on the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is excellent, but only when viewed from the Ring app. Strangely, the video quality suffers greatly when viewed from either the Amazon Alexa App, or when viewed through the Echo Show 21. My largest complaint is this video quality issue, which hopefully will be corrected someday with software fixes. But, Amazon has a long way to go with making Ring a seamless integration with their Amazon products. The Ring camera links quickly and easily with Amazon products - especially if you already have other Ring products, such as the Ring Doorbell. But, half of the time the user is required to use the Amazon App and half the time the Ring app must be used. I wish customers could stick with just one or the other. Also frustrating is that at the current time (while Alexa+ is still in beta), Alexa is not able to change any app or device settings. Part of the reason we wanted access to an AI version of Alexa is so that she could change settings in response to a simple verbal request. But, most of the time she responds by stating that she is not able to change device settings and that we need to access the Alexa, or sometimes Ring app. Mounting the camera is a breeze and there are several simple orientation options. Thankfully, the camera pivots nicely on the mount so the angle can be adjusted after mounting. The microphone and speakers work well, so you can actually talk through the camera almost like an intercom (using an Echo device from inside the house - even if you cannot access the video). Setting up boundaries and notifications is also fairly simple and I appreciate the addition of AI notes in the notifications. For example, the notification wont just say, "Someone in the driveway". You can now get a notification that says, "Three people with a brown dog in the driveway." A simple change that is quite useful. Alexa+ is also able to respond to certain questions about what is in the video. I wish the physical size of the camera was a bit smaller. My personal opinion is that ring devices have always had a rather clunky and ugly form factor. The newest version of the doorbell is finally sleek and slim, but the Outdoor Cam Pro still seems unnecessarily bulky. Hopefully someday soon they reduce the size closer to that of the doorbell. Overall though, a great camera that works well day or night. If you have Amazon products already in your house (speakers, doorbells, etc) this camera will pair fairly seamlessly with all of them.

I am extremely pleased with this camera as part of my setup! I have it monitoring my side yard and shed, and it is honestly doing a fantastic job with excellent angles and brilliant, clear images! Setting up, as with every other Ring product I have installed (which is over two dozen now, between sensors, cameras, and related products), was very easy. Connection is incredibly stable over Wi-Fi and I the visual image is crisp and lovely to behold whether it is day or night vision being used. Now for the quirks. You should just know that while this does use a USB-C plug, it requires about a 20-watt power supply, which is built into the cord. This works fine for my application, but some people might be disappointed that they can’t use a usual USB-C cable and plug into power the device. Furthermore, there is no battery backup and related feasible solar powering for this; a direct AC plug-in seems to be the way to go. While I have no problem with this in my application, I just want others to be aware of what they are getting into here. Altogether, this camera gets a solid 5/5 stars for my Ring Security setup! I would highly recommend you check it out!

I’ve been using my Ring camera for a while now, and it’s been a great addition to my home. The setup was quick and straightforward, and the app makes it really easy to check in anytime. The video quality is clear both during the day and at night, and motion alerts help me stay aware of what’s going on around my house. I especially like how convenient it is to see and talk to visitors even when I’m not home. It definitely adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind. Overall, I’m really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly home security

The Ring Outdoor Pro 4K Security Camera is one of Ring’s latest offerings in their new Retinal 4K lineup. These build upon Ring’s robust camera offerings which have had full HD or higher resolution, color night vision, 3D motion detection, and more. After using this camera for a week, I can say there are very few drawbacks to this new lineup in terms of performance but it may be hard to justify in terms of value with a great 2K lineup also offered. IN THE BOX: - Outdoor Cam Pro (Plug In) - USB-C Power Adapter - Standard Mount + Wall Mount and Screw Kit - Sticker - User Manual SETUP: Ring cameras are extremely easy to set up, especially if you already have a Ring account. The camera comes with a 30 day trial of Ring Home, one of their paid plans with additional benefits such as up to 180 Days of Video Event History, unlimited devices at one location, person, package, and vehicle notifications, extended warranties, and more. After scanning the QR code on the camera within the Ring app, it prompted for a software update to be performed which only took about 1 minute. BUILD QUALITY: The Outdoor Cam Pro is very similar in construction to their products from the last several years. It is slightly larger in physical size than some of the older products which is likely due to the larger camera sensor and radar that the Pro has over the lesser cameras. It comes with a white plastic housing with a USB-C port on the back bottom if you opt for the plug in version. FEATURES/VIDEO QUALITY: With this new Retinal 4K lineup, it is important to note that the camera must be powered at all times. Unfortunately, battery is not an option with their 4K lineup like it is with the FHD or 2K cameras. This means you have a choice between Plug-In, Hardware, or POE+ power with this camera. The standard USB-C plug in model that I have comes with a long, flat type of power adapter with a voltage reducer in the middle. This should be long enough for many applications with a household outlet nearby, however, for long runs, it may be necessary to get a longer cable. Ring touts the new Retinal 4K lineup to offer “up to 10x Enhanced Zoom” due to the greater resolution but I would say this is a very limited claim due to the digital compression that occurs with any cloud based security system. With that in mind, the quality is excellent. It’s much better than their HD offerings that have been around for years. The color, low light performance is something that stands out from my other Ring cameras I have currently. The 2-way talk and siren features perform just like their other cameras you might be used to. One feature I really enjoy is the Lutron + Ring camera integrations. This allows for the Ring camera to activate the Lutron wall switches (lights) whenever motion is detected by the cameras. This is fantastic because it eliminates the need for extra spotlights if you have outdoor lights near the camera's location. I wish Lutron would allow one to control for how long the lights are activated but the only setting available is for 15 minutes and works fine. APP: After using the Ring app for over 2 years, I find it really great in some areas and really poor in others. I find the camera previews and accessory light controls very easy to access. The history and timelines for devices is pretty straightforward as well. When it comes to the different modes, scheduling devices, and things like this, I find it very confusing. It is important to note that if you don’t want law enforcement being able to access your camera footage during investigations or other relevant searches that you must opt out of this function. This is also true for the lost pet feature recently introduced. PROS: - Video Quality - Motion Detection - Low Light Video Quality - Lutron + Ring Integration - Design/Mounting Options - POE+ Power Version Available CONS: - Price - Plug-In Only Options (Cord Awkward) - Local Recording (Only Available With Alarm Pro, Wifi Hub) OVERALL: The Ring Outdoor Pro 4K is a fantastic upgrade from older Ring cameras but it is less of an upgrade from the newer 2K cameras that have been recently released. If you’re using Ring hardware from several years ago AND are able to plug in the devices or use one of the other power methods, I would recommend upgrading to one of their newer camera offerings for the increase in video quality. If you’re new to the Ring camera ecosystem, the 4K and POE options would be great to help future proof your security system.

Video : 5/5 Audio: 5/5 Detections: 4/5 App: 5/5 Integration: 5/5 AI: 2/5 Local recordings: 0/5 The Outdoor Cam Pro is easy to set up and configure, its app is one of the best on the market and super easy to navigate. Outdoor Cam Pro has some standout features such as amazon sidewalk which allows your camera to work even when your internet goes down. This added with the neighbor’s feature and AI powered search party ( both of these are community-based features that allow you to find lost pets and alert neighbors about potential issues) helps differentiate the camera from others. Pros: Audio: This is by far the best Microphone/Speaker set up I have ever used. The speaker is loud and clear, I have the camera placed at the corner of my garage and can have a conversation with someone at the entrance of my driveway that’s how loud the audio is. No other wired or wireless camera competes when it comes to audio. Video: The video quality is excellent during daytime and even during nighttime the black and white video works amazing. The colors are excellent and you can make out rich details on everything. The low light sight features will give you full color even with a little bit of street lighting, but I did notice with the low light sight feature you will get ghosting on people that are 5 to 7 feet from the camera. I was impressed with how quickly the video loads when I am away from home and scrubbing through events is super smooth. While there is no 24/7 feature the camera will take still pictures throughout the day to gives you a timelapse effect when you are scrubbing through the video. Cons: Detections: While the camera did a good job with detections it did not do great with notifications. As an example someone walked onto my drive path and walked back I would not get an alert when they walked back. This must be an issue with the cool down period for alerts as the camera would record the motion, however it would not send me an alert about it. There were no false alerts, but this is a given as everything is being processed in the cloud AI: The Outdoor Cam Pro has a AI description option that lets you know what the camera is seeing. The AI detections do work however there isn’t much descriptions about the movements. I have used other budget cameras that provide details about the person in sight along with what the person is doing in the recording. All I got from the Outdoor Cam Pro was “person walked across driveway”. At first, I thought this was because the recording were being processed locally however this is not the case, all recordings are processed in the cloud. With that being the case, I am very surprised at how bad the AI descriptions are, I understand it’s a beta option but I was expecting much more. The Outdoor Cam Pro is a nice addition if you already have a Ring security system. The neighbors feature along with amazon sidewalk and search party are amazing features that are beneficial for communities. While the video quality and playback speed are very impressive, I was not impressed with the AI features. Having everything sent to the cloud should mean much more detailed descriptions of what is happening on your property. I have also noticed that 7 GB of data is uploaded a day so for those on limited data plans or slow speeds you could run into trouble. Without having a local recording option, it is hard to recommend unless you’re already in the Ring ecosystem.

This Ring Outdoor Cam Pro has Retinal 4K for the ultimate wide-angle video, 10x Zoom, Low-Light Sight full-color in near dark. There are black and white options. I have the white one. In the box, you get the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro, power cord and AC adapter, installation hardware, manual, warranty, safety, and legal papers. Setup was simple. I downloaded the Ring application to my smartphone and added the camera. The instructions are in the application and are easy to follow. Power Source is a cable with an AC Adapter that plugs in. The cable is extraordinarily long. There are no shorter cables that you can use with this camera. Features of this camera are great and include 4K (2160p) video resolution, 3840 x 2160 camera resolution, excellent night vision, 33 feet distance of night vision, can be used indoors or outdoors, 2-way audio, 10x zoom that really works well, 3D motion detection that uses a radar to detect and send you alerts in real time. Picture and video on this camera are awesome. The clarity of the picture, the vividness of the colors, the sharp blacks and whites in daylight and night vision are both stunning. I was in awe of how great the still shots looked that I took. I was also able to zoom in on a pigeon on my deck and watch it for a while before snapping a photo of it. Mounting or standing it upright is a choice you have with this camera. I chose to stand it upright so that I can move it around as I decide where I want it permanently. It is weather resistant, so you can put it anywhere. The Ring Application is a huge plus for this camera. This is how you control the camera and set it up. It is free to download from the App Store on your smartphone. This app lets you join the Ring Neighbors where you can post your videos to search for your lost pet or others can use your videos to search for their lost pet. It uses Smart Video Search. You get this with a Ring Home Plan that is optional, of course, but makes things easier for you to keep your home and family safe. You can set privacy zones. You can contact first responders through SOS, which you must set up on the Ring application. The cool things you can do is add familiar faces to your app so that it will tell you who it sees on your camera. It has AI features so that it can process the videos and collect the biometric information for the Familiar Faces. It will also give you AI video descriptions, which are pretty spot on. The other AI features are AI Video Search, that allows you to find videos with keywords, and AI Single Event Alert which will group related events together in a single alert. Summary: I am really impressed with this Ring Outdoor Camera Pro, as it is indeed a professional-level camera.

Ring has become one of the go to names in smart home security systems. They are easy to use, the app is great, and you can be apart of community while using it. The latest Outdoor Cam Pro is a really impressive addition to the team! PROS: - Unboxing, this is a really appealing camera! It has nice rounded corners, isn’t too big or too small, and is something I would want to have on the outside of my house without looking like an eyesore. - As I said in the intro, the Ring app is a really great easy to use app and it makes setup a breeze. This is not battery powered but plugin (which I like having a constant power supply more so) so you simply mount to where you want it, and run the power chord to it. - Once set up, I was immediately impressed with the 4K video. It looks really crisp and clean, and made it easy to identify what is going on without any graininess. - On top of that, it looks great at night too which is a big plus for me as well! - This also comes packed with AI features in the camera which help better identify what you are seeing in your image and make it easier to understand as you look back at clips of what’s going on. - It also can really stand to the elements as well. We have had rain and snow lately and it has worked great non stop without having any issues. It is an IP65 rating which helps drive that and also comes with a weatherproof power source. - It also has a mic and speaker on it for voice controls aka you can hear what’s going on while also speaking to whoever is near the camera which is great functionality. CONS: - Probably my biggest complaint is that it’s vey much in the Amazon ecosystem. You can not use it with Google Home or Apple HomeKit. BOTTOM LINE: - Ring continue to show why so many people choose them for security camera needs. And the new Outdoor Cam Pro provides excellent 4K clarity, AI functionality to future proof, and strong usability for any outdoor condition. I see many people upgrading to this camera all around their outdoor setup!

Since I’ve been pleased with other Ring cameras in the past, I was looking forward to receiving a new Ring camera with 4K resolution and an Enhanced Zoom feature. The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro provides great 4K resolution and enhanced zoom capabilities. The picture is extremely detailed—even in just the light from the garage and front porch—and a true upgrade from the battery powered Ring cameras of the past. The build quality of this camera is great. The camera itself feels robust and well made, and even the cable is heavy duty, and feels like it will be safe to use outside where the weather isn’t always nice. I’ve been impressed with the quality that Ring has offered with this product. Setup is easy: just download the Ring app, plugin the camera; scan the QR code on the back of the camera to connect; and finally, connect to the internet. The camera comes with 30 days free of the Ring Home Plan, which includes: up to 180-Days of Video Event History; 24/7 recording; alerts; and more. You can use the camera without a plan, but you are limited to Live View and Real-time Notifications. Overall, this is an impressive outdoor camera: the resolution and zoom are great, and I would recommend it to anyone who has an electrical outlet near the area of camera placement. This camera comes with an USB-C outdoor/indoor power adapter, which is 17.8 ft in length, so you have a little wiggle room for placement near an electrical outlet. Also included in the box are fasteners and instructions for attaching the camera, and a sticker indicating that a Ring camera is protecting your property. If you are looking for an outdoor camera and have an electrical outlet nearby, this camera is a great option. If not electrical outlet is nearby, considering one of the Ring battery operated cameras. I’d definitely recommend this camera and give it 5 stars!

Having every aspect of my home with Ring products already; I was excited to get this and test it out in one of my spots I want better footage. First thing i noticed was how large the box it comes in due to it being corded power. So no battery power here. Which this is a nice selling point in my opinion at this junction. I have currently 6 solar panels to my outdoor devices already, so having powered with better clarity is a win win. The process was quick and easy to get it drilled up and plate secured then the normal RING setup process, connect to your network. I have the EERO outdoor 7, so I have full bar with a signal strength RS of 46. It roughly 400 ft away from the outdoor wireless node. So that's a considerable upgrade from the previous outdoor cams. This being 4k was exciting because everything I have is a mixture of 1080P and some 2K variants that I have been slowly buying and upgrading. The 4K is truly 4K once you mess with the settings and tweak to what you need to get it right. The picture at night is super crystal clear and picks every thing up right away. I love i can now see text and license plates clearly. No more fuzzy people or images. Overall great upgrade and this needs to be the standard moving forward.

The hardware of the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is exceptional, top to bottom, video to audio. And the app, though looking a little dusty and outdated compared to competitors, gives you a lot more features to play with (if you pay for the subscription). I think this is a fantastic addition to your home if you are looking for an outdoor security camera and are already in the Ring ecosystem. Especially if you are looking for exceptional video and audio quality, without having to pay for floodlights. Our backyard neighbors are very grateful for swapping out our old spotlight model for this one. And as you can see by the attached photo, while my old Ring outdoor cam needed the spotlight as soon as the sun started setting, the new Outdoor Cam Pro doesn’t even really need spotlights at night (up to a certain distance). Overall, I think this is an incredible consumer security camera for outdoor use (during setup it asks if you are using indoor or outdoor so it can easily be set up for indoor use too). I do have some quibbles with it, first being that the camera is extremely barebones if you don’t have a subscription. Essentially you can get motion alerts and live view, but no historical video saving (other competitors at least give you 24 hours). If I wake up and see that something triggered the motion alert in the backyard in the middle of the night and I don’t pay for a subscription, I just have to hope that it was nothing nefarious as there is no way to review what happened. But if you already pay for the multi-camera subscription, and are looking for the best video quality in a security camera, whether indoor or outdoor, I can see no better option then the Outdoor Cam Pro. Pros: Exceptional video quality Amazing low light performance Great audio quality Lots of customization within the app Easy to setup Happy there is a high-end option without a spotlight Cons: Most features are behind subscription Ring has had a tumultuous history with user privacy App feels out of date compared to competitors Cord is odd, has a little power brick in the middle that you have to deal with

This camera truly stands out for its exceptional quality. The image sharpness, color accuracy, and low-light performance are among the best I’ve seen, making it a great choice for both beginners and professionals. The build feels solid, and the features are intuitive and easy to use. Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for top-tier performance and reliability.

The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus provides peace of mind for an affordable price. I chose the battery powered camera vs. dealing with the set-up of the wired version. As the battery initially takes 10-12 hours to charge, I suggest purchasing a 2nd battery to avoid any downtime. I've been very pleased as my battery has barely decreased 1% of charge in 2 weeks. The battery hasn't decreased from 99%! I've been very pleased with the range of motion and detail with its 2K video. There are many ways to customize the various app settings from getting live alerts of all activity to limiting notifications of just vehicles, people or all motions. I do recommend purchasing a Ring subscription to retain a history of activities that you can access beyond what the app provides. Its a minimal monthly cost for this added feature. This Outdoor camera has been exposed to 2 snow storms and high winds without any change to picture quality! I highly recommend the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus!

[Employee of bestbuy] Super impressed with this camera. The 4K video is extremely clear, motion alerts are fast and accurate, and the plug-in power means it’s always on without worrying about batteries. Setup was quick, and it integrates perfectly with the Ring app and Alexa.

[Employee of bestbuy] Since I’ve had great experiences with other Ring cameras, I was genuinely excited to try their new 4K model with Enhanced 10x Zoom—and it didn’t disappoint. The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro delivers impressive 4K clarity and a noticeably stronger zoom. Even with nothing more than the light from my garage, the image is incredibly detailed. A huge step-up from the older ring cameras. The camera feels solid and well‑constructed, and even the cable is heavy‑duty and clearly designed to withstand rough weather. Overall, Ring really delivered with this model, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance.

Great camera. Does everything as advertised. Amazing clarity.

[Employee of bestbuy] I have a room with the perfect window that faces out. This has proven invaluable as a person with 3 dogs -one who doesn't like guests- and a busy household with people in and out of the backyard regularly. One quick glance at the camera to make sure no vehicles are in the driveway and the dogs are free to go wild in the yard! If you need something simple that doesn't require a speaker and doesn't require any technical skills, I highly recommend this. It makes me feel safer when my husband is traveling and helps me know I can keep backyard guests safe from my crazy dogs!

Had this camera up a few months. Have it outside a few feet away of my house overlooking my driveway. Let me just say with the 24/7 recording and the 4K video. This is definitely upgrade over the other spotlight camera pros. Very easy to install just like all the other spotlight cameras, and all of other rings other cameras. The 4K camera is an absolute upgrade from every other camera that ring has put out very clear during the day, very clear at night, and very clear in the dark with no lighting.

Bought this to have a camera pointed in my backyard where i had a blindspot at. Love the 4k quality as it is night and day to my other ring cameras i have on my property. My only complaint is that i didnt buy the spotlight version of this camera at the time.
