Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi ArthurD.

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

We understand how important it is for your device to detect motion consistently and reliably. The Ring Floodlight Cam Plus is designed to detect motion based on your specifications so that you are notified of all motion events that matter to you. We would love the opportunity to work with you to get your device performing optimally for your home's environment.

It sounds like you have some concerns with your device's motion detection. If your device appears to be missing a lot of motion, you may want to check the motion frequency setting. The motion frequency control allows you to reduce alerts from repetitive patterns of motion or increase alerts so you get notified about the motion events that matter to you.

Follow these steps to adjust the motion frequency:
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the Dashboard.
Tap Devices.
Select the device you'd like to adjust.
Tap Motion Settings.
Tap Advanced Settings.
Tap Motion Frequency.
Select Frequently, Regularly or Periodically.
Frequently: Motion detection always stays active. Shortest battery life.
Regularly: Motion detection takes a short break after each Motion Alert. Medium battery life.
Periodically: Motion detection takes a longer break after each alert. Maximum battery life.
Tap Save in the upper-right corner.

Hi DR1FTY.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is compatible with b/g/n wifi networks operating on 2.4 GHz frequencies. High-speed internet is recommended. If your Ring device is far from your wifi router, it may be experiencing connection issues.

Here are a few of the top reasons for poor connectivity:
Your Ring device may be too far from your WiFi router.
Your mobile device has a low signal or poor connection.
Your home wifi connection is poor (or your internet service provider is experiencing high traffic).

To learn more about your device's signal strength, follow these steps:
Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (☰).
Tap “Devices.”
Select the ring device you would like to test.
Tap on the “Device Health” tile.
Scroll to “Signal Strength” under the “Network” section.
The green, amber, and red colors are indicators of your device connection. Green is good; red is poor.
Move your wifi router off the floor.

Walls, floors, and furniture can interfere with or weaken your router's wireless signal. Choose an elevated, central, open location for your wifi router.

Most internet service providers range from 100–400 mbps (megabytes per second) for download speed and 10–100 mbps for uploading. If your wifi speed is falling below the ranges noted above, we recommend contacting your internet service provider.

We also recommend adding a Ring Chime Pro to your network. This device helps to extend your wifi signal to boost the network for all your Ring Video Doorbells and Cams.

Hi MatthewB.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus to function consistently and reliably, so you are alerted to any wanted or unwanted activity in or around your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus 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 issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. If your Floodlight Cam's lights are turning on unexpectedly, first check the area for heat-emitting objects. Things like parked cars, furnace vents, or dryer exhaust can cause this. This camera uses passive infrared to detect heat in a 270-degree radius, while the camera only sees a 140-degree area. Because of this, things the camera doesn't see can still trigger the lights. Adjusting the sensitivity or the angle of your Floodlight Camera might help reduce these false triggers. To access Motion Settings, please follow these steps in the Ring app:

Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of your Ring app Dashboard.
Tap Devices.

Tap Motion Settings. Adjust features to your preferences.
Smart Alerts allows for customization of notifications to detect a Person or Other Motion.

For more information on your Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, we invite you to reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback and experiences with Ring. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of any further assistance!
