Great camera and floodlight combo

This is a great combo. The flood light is pretty bright. We have other LED flood lights on our house and I like the brightness and color temperature of these better. It has a good range of movement to be able to change where the lights aim. The motion sensor is pretty sensitive and has a good reach (depending on how high off the ground you mount the light. The cameras look good and you can adjust the sensitivity of when they detect motion. I am able to read license plates from where I have it mounted on my garage, about 12-15' off the ground. I have one that the speaker doesn't seem to work on and I keep forgetting to try the other. I really like that it is all powered by the electricity that powers the flood light and I don't have to worry about charging or swapping batteries on my exterior cameras, and that it works with my doorbell app. CONS: I can't view all my cameras on a singe screen in the app. It takes a fair amount of navigation to get from one camera to another, if you just want to see what's going on. As of right now (Nov 2017) there isn't any integration for the camera, motion, or lights with Smartthings. I really like the integration with my Ring doorbell and Smartthings and though that I would have the same functionality with the floodlight. So far, I own 2 of these and have been happy with them.
Make sure you have good wifi coverage where you want to mount them, I am on the fringes and the quality of my doorbell videos and floodlight cam videos suffer as a result. I plan on improving signal in those areas to help them.

Wonderful Floodlight & Camera!

I have very expensive camera systems on 3 properties. I mean these cameras cost me $500 a piece and the whole system was more than $5,000 for each property. When I needed a couple of additional cameras to add to garages that weren't hard-wired for the initial cameras, I bought these. AND THEY ARE SPECTACULAR!!! I actually like them MUCH, MUCH MORE than my more-expensive, clunky, DVR recording, $5000 camera systems! I actually think the fidelity of the camera is better, I love that the floodlight comes on and the camera starts recording when motion is detected, and not only can I HEAR what is going on, I can SPEAK through my phone through the camera! I just love it! I can store video on the Cloud (it's an extra $10/month, but worth it), I can set the area of motion detection I want in a zone, and I can set the motion sensitivity. I also pointed the camera downwards to what I want to see and set the floodlights to specific areas where I would want them to come on if motion was detected. I really love that! Another great feature, is I can link to others in my town who have Ring cameras, and if they choose to post a video of an intruder, I can watch it. I also set the boundaries for how far around my house I want to watch others' posted intruder videos. It's like a modern-day Neighborhood Watch. I did have to buy an internet signal extender to put inside the garage so the Ring would have constant internet connectivity, but that's no big deal. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND these cameras and wish I hadn't monkeyed around with the more expensive ones that are hard-wired in.

I have 4 Ring floodlight cameras and 2 Ring pro doorbells and I’m thoroughly impressed with the products ease of use, functionality, and quality. The floodlights literally take about 10 min to install ( remove old flood, screw in mounting bracket, connect wires, scan QR code and walk through App setup to connect). You then can Immediately see clear video, adjust sound & lights, motion sensitivity, notifications, etc.. Great sense of security and ability to monitor your home immediately, from anywhere on your phone or iPad. I’m also immediately notified when people/ vehicles are on my property. Great purchase.

Good Floodlight, Decent Recording,Bad App

The Ring Floodlight Cam works a lot better than the two battery operated Ring Spotlight Cams, which I took back for a refund. The motion sensing and video recording are more consistent and works about 98% of the time. There have been a few times the Floodlight Cam failed to record video during a motion alert, but a Ring representative emailed me in a timely manner and gave suggestions on correcting this issue. Video quality during the day is good. You can easily identify who's in your yard and whats going on. The video quality at night is just average at best. I've seen better on cheaper cameras. If something were to happen at night, you better hope the person being recorded is within 10 feet of the camera or you might have a hard time identifying this individual.
NOW FOR THE WORST PART OF THIS SYSTEM............THE APP
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Andriod 7.1 and everything is fully updated on my phone. My home wi-fi is not an issue and the Ring Floodlight Health Status always shows my connection as good to excellent. No problems there. Checking your motion alerts at home when your phone is connected to the same wi-fi as the Ring Floodlight Cam, all is well and the app responds most of the time. Now here is the problem.........75% of the time I've had motion alerts being away from home using my data network through Verizon, the app fails miserably. I get a motion alert, go to live view and get noting but a black screen with a rolling icon. This will eventually get you to a screen that states " Your Phone Is Having Trouble Connecting To The Ring". This is not caused by a poor cell signal. I have had full bars on Verizon's 4g LTE network and get nothing. How in the world are you supposed to view, talk or sound the alarm if needed when the app fails to deliver. I am not the only person out there with this issue. There are a lot of complaints posted in online forums, Google Play reviews of this app, YouTube and other sources stating the same issue. Ring needs to correct this problem. We have all seen the commercials of people out and about making it look so easy to respond to Motion Alerts, but this is not the case.

I have my security camera mounted in my driveway and it works as expected or better. It appears to be a well made quality product. The camera provides clear videos and the lights are bright. Sensitive on the motion detector is adjustable for detecting a skunk up to a car movement on your driveway. It’s really astounding what creatures you find roaming around at night. I’ve had the product for about a month now and so far I’ve been very happy with it.

My community has had a rash of car break-ins, burglaries and property damage in recent months. I am very happy with our new Ring Floodlight Cam (motion-activated security camera and floodlight with 2-way talk and siren). I was able to adjust the motion zone to cover the area just in front of our house and also put it on the "people only" setting to limit the number of notifications I receive on my cell phone. I am able to speak safely to people outside my home from inside my house. I haven't had a chance to hear the siren yet but I understand it is pretty loud. I have my floodlights set to automatically come on at 7:00 p.m. at night and go off at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. The floodlights are nice and bright, and I am hoping that having the front of my house lit up will deter would-be burglars who like to conceal themselves in the darkness.

This is one of three Ring cameras I purchased. It is mounted above a garage door, overlooking a driveway. The wide angle coverage gives a great view of the driveway. Almost no false motion alerts. The LED floodlights come on when motion is detected in the dark and do a nice job of lighting up the area. Picture quality is quite good. I needed an electrician to mount an electrical box on the outside wall where the camera is mounted, which added to the cost, but it does not need a battery, so it was worth this extra one time expense. Very pleased.

Easy to install and connect to the existing Ring system. Has a great picture and field of view. The night video could be a little clearer, but I have no problems with the unit. Could be a little less expensive, but I guess you can't put a price on home security and peace of mind.

can't go wrong with Ring and this floodlight is no exception. it gives great video quality and the lights are nice and bright. The reason I dinged the floodlight one star is for the pathetic siren. It is not the reason to buy this light, it is way too soft and wouldn't scare off anybody. either have a siren that's puts out some volume, at least as loud as a car alarm, or just leave it out of the unit.

Mounted Under an Eave

We have a Ring doorbell and a stick-up camera that overlooks the deck. Best Buy put the Ring Floodlight on sale so bought one for the garage / driveway. Some reviews questioned if it could be mounted under an eave. Yes it can, wasn't even that difficult. Just loosen the nuts that hold the lights and camera and re-position them. See my photo. I just installed it this morning but it seems to be working fine.

The fixture is of quality materials and the image quality is great. The lights are substantially brighter than the old flood bulbs I was using. Sometimes the sensor seems to be a bit too sensitive, but I may need to adjust the settings.

I bought it - and I absolutely love it! At first i wanted to buy Arlo LED 2k cam but after I learned that in order to achieve maximubrigtness i have to purchase addl power supply and cables, - screw that!- i went with this option- always powered on- even if smb wants to shut down my electricity- they would be on recording which is stored on the cloud( $3 per month for one device), awesome! Me and my wife love our new cam! For the whole time i had it( 1 month) the server had only one time glitch where my mail came in and i was at home but the notification did not alert me - i called ring support right away - they apologized for inconvenience and told me that even I couldn’t see my video in the history- once they finish upgrading the server i will be able to watch it( honestly I thought it never will happen) lol, but to my surprise, the next day i saw the video of mailman putting my package on the doorsteps! Again- this thing is awesome bcs you don’t have to worry about any batteries or if how most of them are non replaceable- to throw away your “toy” after couple of years! Lol. P.S. angle of view is awesome too and you’re able to change the motion zones( and you can have multiple separate motion zones), so it won’t bother you when you just let your dog out. Screenshot attached. Thanks!

I was able to set up easily in the place of previous floodlight. Motion sensing is excellent and covers a wide area. Video quality is adequate. You are able to zoom in on live or pre-recorded videos in the Ring app. It integrates well with Alexa and you can view live cam on Echo show using just voice commands. Haven’t checked the lighting quality in the dark yet. Set up at my moms backyard to complement her first gen Ring front doorbell. I think she will love it!

Great security device, if someone comes on your property, it alerts you on your phone and you can see who it is and you can also talk to the person!
