Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi BobbyP.

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us.

We understand how critical it is for your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro to notify you of meaningful motion events where the device is installed. The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro was designed to capture motions based on your specifications to help keep your home secure. We can definitely assist you with this today to ensure your Ring device is performing optimally and the proper settings are chosen within the Ring app.

It sounds like your device is not detecting the motion you want it to. The Floodlight Cam Wired Pro has advanced features, including radar-powered 3D motion detection and bird's-eye view for more precise motion detection.

Camera Motion Zones and Bird's Eye Zones provide customization to trigger video recording only when someone steps into your defined motion zones. The radar that powers 3D motion detection also has additional benefits, such as:

Provides accurate motion detection in dark or low-light conditions.
Reduces unnecessary alerts while still providing timely notifications.
Powers Bird’s Eye View

Hi MariaG.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand how important it is to have your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro capture all the correct motion events. Consistent and dependable motion alerts are an essential feature for the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro to function properly. This is likely the reason you purchased this security device in the first place: to be alerted to people on your property. We are eager to provide you with a solution for the motion detection and connectivity concerns mentioned in your review.

It sounds like your device is not picking up all of the motion you are wanting it to. Where you install your device will have a large impact on the motion detection it will pick up. The Ring Floodlight Cam works great mounted about nine feet above ground level, if possible, with the motion sensor parallel to the ground. From this height, your Floodlight Cam can cover a wide visual area as well as capture HD video of your visitors.

When your Ring Floodlight Cam is mounted too low, it reduces your optimal motion zone. This can result in approaching visitors not being detected as motion or only capturing a partial image when the sensors are triggered.

If your device is mounted at the optimal height, but you are still missing motion notifications, it could be due to a poor wifi signal. Even with the best wifi router and minimal obstructions, wifi signals get weaker the further they travel. If your router is far away from your Ring products, consider moving it closer, adding a Ring Chime Pro, or upgrading to a mesh network system to extend your wifi network's coverage.

Visit our support center for more information on how to improve wifi performance if you're experiencing problems with Live View, a poor device connection, or receiving notifications.

We have included the installation steps for the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro here:
Disconnect power to installation area at your circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Always use caution when handling electrical wiring. Installation by a qualified electrician may be required in your area. Refer to your local laws and building codes before performing electrical work; permits plus professional installation may be required by law.

Your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro must be installed on a 4“ round UL listed weatherproof electrical box.

Make sure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.

Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left corner of your Dashboard.
Tap Set Up a Device.
Follow the instructions in the Ring app.
When prompted, scan the QR Code on the back of the device.

Installing your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro:
1. Rotate both the lights outward if you are mounting the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro on an eave or overhang.

2. Rotate one light downward, if you’re mounting to a wall.

Select a set of screws that fit your junction box from the bags marked A through F. Save a screw from either bag B or C for one of the following steps.
*Bag A - standard screws that fit most junction boxes
*Bag B & C - longer screws for recessed junction boxes
*Bag D, E & F - best for older boxes with smaller screw holes

Attach the metal mounting bracket.

Secure the metal mounting bracket with the screws you selected in the previous step.


Install the plastic mounting plate by following these steps:

1. Pull gently from the opening of the plastic plate to free it from the fixture, then feed your power wires through the opening.

2. If you’re installing on a wall, the UP arrow should point up when your wires have been fed through the mounting plate.

3. If you’re installing under an eave, the arrow should point toward the wall.

4. Insert one of the screws from Bag B or C into the center hole, then tighten to secure.


Hang up your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro by following these steps:

Locate the nylon strap on the back of your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro light fixture and loop the buckle at the end over the hook on the mounting plate. Make sure that the buckle and hook are secure before releasing the light fixture.

Connect the wires by following these steps:
The green wire on the the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is the ground wire.
With the power still turned off at the breaker, use a wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the green wire coming from the junction box.
The white wire on the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is a neutral wire. Use another wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the white (neutral) wire coming from the junction box.
The black wire on the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is a hot wire. Use another wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the black wire from your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro to the black (hot) wire from your junction box.
Give all three wires a gentle tug to make sure they’re secure.

Mount the fixture by following these steps:
Tuck the wires into the junction box, then align the two holes on the light fixture with the threaded posts on the plastic mounting plate. Slide the light fixture onto the posts and push firmly into place.
Secure the fixture using two of the hex cap nuts from Bag G over the ends of the threaded posts.
Remove the reversible bit from the included screwdriver and use the handle to tighten the hex cap nuts.

Restore the power at the breaker.
Now that your floodlight Cam Wired Pro is installed, you can turn the power back on at the breaker. The lamps on your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro will flash once it’s powered on.

Hello jwr47,

Thank you for taking the time to share your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro experience with us directly, we appreciate it! The Floodlight Cam Wired Pro has Advanced Motion Detection, Customizable Motion Zones and Customizable Privacy Zones that are controlled from the Ring app. In addition, the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro has advanced features including radar-powered 3D Motion Detection, Bird’s Eye View for more precise motion alerts, Audio+, a 110db security siren, dual-band wifi, is compatible with Amazon Sidewalk and an array microphone that limits sound detection.

Hey MarthaS

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. We understand how important it is for your motion detection to work correctly. We have several ways of adjusting your motion to have it work how you would like. To start, we suggest changing your motion zones and decreasing your motion sensitivity. https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050360052-Customizing-Motion-Zones-for-Video-Doorbells-and-Security-Cameras. You should also activate Smart Alerts. https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032947972-Refining-Your-Motion-Alert-Notifications-for-People-and-Other-Motions-.

Hi Mariah. It's definitely important to be able to rely on your Floodlight Cam to detect visitors at your home. Since your Camera is freezing and missing motions, i'd recommend checking the RSSi on the Device Health screen to make sure your Floodlight Cam has a strong wifi connection. To learn more, check out this article from our Help Center https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217271526-Understanding-RSSI-and-Wifi-Signal-Strength. Improving the signal strength should improve the performance of your Floodlight Cam. For more help, browse the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/ to ask other neighbors what worked for them. Best wishes, Ashley from Ring.

Hi Brittany.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is to have your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro capture all the correct motion events.

We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected in regards to person detection. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This camera uses adjustable motion detection and runs on passive infrared sensors. The system identifies visitors via a moving heat signature and sends a notification to your smart device when one is detected. You can adjust three preset motion zones and their distances under the "Motion Settings" tab on the device's page in the Ring app. Additionally, you can choose how often the camera checks for movement in those predefined zones via the "Motion Frequency" setting. If you find that your camera is missing some motions, please set the motion frequency to "Frequently."

Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling the "Smart Alerts" feature for people only in your Ring app. To enable "Smart Alerts," please follow these steps:
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the device that you want to adjust.
Tap "Motion Settings."
Tap "Smart Alerts."
Tap "Enable Feature."
Tap "Continue."
Select the notification options that you want for "Person" and "Other Motion."
You'll see a video camera where you can select or de-select recording and a bell icon to represent alert notifications.
After you've adjusted your settings, tap "Done."

Hi GeovannyS.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro record clear and concise videos so that you can effectively monitor your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the video quality issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as intended. Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is an outdoor security camera designed to provide you with the ability to customize your Floodlight Cam's zone coverage, motion settings and light settings in the Ring app. Ring devices require high speed internet to bring you crisp, clear video and audio. Poor network connectivity can effect the performance of your Ring device. Diagnose and fix common video issues you may experience with Ring doorbells and cameras.

Here are some examples of video quality issues:

Overexposed, washed out videos: Washed out videos may be due to overexposure to sunlight.
Poor wifi signal strength: A decline in wifi signal strength may be caused by a weak connection between the router and your Ring device.
Traveling signal strength: This may be due to a wifi dead zone in your home where you loose signal strength between the router and your Ring device.

Ring devices with 1080p video require at least 1 Mbps upload and download speeds, though 2 Mbps is recommended for optimal performance. In edition to ensuring that you have sufficient wifi speeds, you will also want to check the signal strength of your device. A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable.

Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range. The recommended range for optimal performance is 0 to -60 for the RSSI.

Turn off your mobile device's cellular data and connect to the same wifi network as your Ring device.
Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (☰).
Tap Devices.
Select your device.
Trigger an event on your Ring device.
Answer the event and examine the resulting video.

We have listed some possible outcomes from this test here:

Footage is crisp and clear: If your video appears good when next to the router, the issue may be caused by a disruption in between your router and your Ring device’s normal location. To fix this, try moving your device closer to the router or extend your wifi signal with a wifi extender like the Ring Chime Pro.
Footage is heavily pixelated: If you’re seeing heavy pixilation, even next to the router, this may be due to slow wifi speeds.
Severe pauses in Live Video: If your video pauses, stutters, or gets frozen and your wifi speed meets the minimum standards, try rebooting your router. Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. It should take three to four minutes to reboot. Then, test your Ring device again and see if there's any difference.
Long delay before your video starts: This is also caused by slow wifi speeds. Assuming you have high speed internet, reboot your router and the mobile phone, tablet, or PC you're accessing the video feed on, Then see if there's any difference when it's back on line.

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear you haven't received your Floodlight Cams yet. I would definitely recommend reaching out to the original retailer you purchased them from to receive an update on your order. All the best, Ashley from Ring.

Hello TundaGeezy,

We know how important it is to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security. Your Ring Floodlight Cam Pro is intended to provide this for you. Please know that we are here to assist and are confident that we can find you a resolution in a timely manner.

We recently released the Rapid Ring App, which was designed to facilitate a speedy response when answering notifications. Rapid Ring is a "light" version of the classic Ring App with most of the features stripped out except for Ring device statuses and the ability to activate a Live View and respond to an event as quickly as possible. By using the Rapid Ring app instead of the original Ring App you'll be able to answer your notifications as quickly as possible.

Think of this app as a companion to the Ring App. You'll continue to use your original Ring App for all the settings functions built into your Ring devices such as checking video history or adjusting motion and video settings.

To download the app, please go to the App Store (for iOS devices) or the Play Store (for Android devices) and search for “Rapid Ring”. Download and install the Rapid Ring app on your mobile device.

Also Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors.
