Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Generation) is a replacement for my preexisting garage floodlight. Swapping it out was “pretty straightforward” per the handy family member that I had do the labor. Adding this floodlight cam to my Ring camera setup has increased the security of my home in addition to upgrading the look and function of the previous floodlight. No printed instructions are included with the device and the Ring App is required for both setup and use. A small multi-tool and all the hardware required for installation are included. This device is only compatible with Amazon Alexa. The Ring App provides step-by-step instructions for wall or ceiling mounting/installation/device activation including wiring and troubleshooting tips. It is straightforward and easy to use. All of my devices-both indoor and out, cameras, doorbell, and now floodlight cam are all monitored and controlled in one place which is very convenient. If you already have a Ring account it prompts for you to add the new device to your account. You scan the QR code on the camera, name your device, connect to your Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi6 if available and it supports both 2.4GHz & 5GHz bands), and adjust your settings. If you are a first-time user you will need to set up an account. Once installed and activated you can personalize the settings according to your needs. The motion detection zones and motion sensitivity can be tweaked to decrease random alerts. The 3-D motion detection appears very reliable and accurate. The two-way speaker system allows you to both speak and listen and the audio is very clear. You can manually activate camera recording, the floodlights and the 85dB security siren-which is startlingly loud. The imaging with Retinal Vision 4K is clear and sharp and the 10x zoom brings fine details like facial features, license plates, and the logos on clothing into focus. Low-Light Sight allows night vision in black and white to be sharp and burst with color when the floodlights are used. Pros • Ring App is intuitive and easy to use • Retinal Vision 4K with 10x Enhanced Zoom has greatly improved image quality in comparison to the available 2K and 1080P cameras on the market • The Radar Based 3D motion detection is very accurate once fine-tuned using the settings and cuts down on false alerts • System can be set to alert only when a person or vehicle is detected • The 2000 lumen floodlights have an adjustable intensity and are very responsive to motion detection and illuminate a very large field making seeing things in the dark much easier • Minimal lag between motion detection being triggered and app notification • No batteries are required since the unit is hardwired • Bright lights and sirens are great deterrents for unwelcome guests Cons • Requires hard wiring which may require the added expense of an electrician or handyman • Device is not plug-and-play. Installation or mounting requires additional time in comparison to wireless devices, especially if no pre-existing wiring is in place • A paid subscription to the Ring Home Plan (with several tiers available) is required in order to access all of the floodlight cam’s features -like video storage (video stored for 6 months), 24/7recording (2 week storage of video) and Smart Video Search which helps locate specific moments in your videos. It comes with a 30-day free trial subscription and live monitoring and alerts still function without the subscription. • Live view is reliable but the picture quality can be affected by the strength and speed of your Wi-Fi connection • You must adjust the camera’s view manually-you cannot adjust it using the app I will definitely be further enhancing my home’s security by upgrading my other Ring devices once they’re released as new 4K versions.

I'll start by saying I am upgrading from the Ring Floodlight Cam+, so my review is based on a comparison between my old Ring Floodlight Cam and this 2nd Gen 4K Floodlight Cam Pro. Design wise, this looks about the same as previous models but if you look closer, you'll see the floodlight have doubled in size and the camera has a different design. Installation is easy (from an upgrade) but even originally it's straight forward and the ring app will walk you through the process. Just make sure you turn off your power at the breaker first, or if you're unsure - get handyman or electrician to help. You will need to get a 4" round electrical box if you're not upgrading from an existing floodlight (costs about $10) and you'll need some caulk, but otherwise everything else is included. It takes under an hour to physically install, app setup is about 3-5 minutes and is easy. In use, I've found the Floodlight Cam Pro really great. Given it's winter right now and so dark, I have been really able to put everything to test. Video quality is significanlty better and the 4K really makes a difference when you zoom in, Ring have also made improvements to the low light sensor and I have picked up more late night animal crossings e.g. rabbits, deer, foxes, making their way through our yard. I think they have also improved the microphone and speaker, as it seems the audio "you are being recorded" messages are clearer but truly the best upgrade is the floodlights, I can cover my whole yard now and the wider lamps mean I can angle the coverage better. Overall, brilliant upgrade and worth buying (and definitely worth buying over the older 1080 Ring Floodlight Cam).

One of the most important issues today is home security, so having an efficient security system is essential. This floodlight camera has everything you need to keep your home safe. The box includes the camera, installation hardware, hardware kit, user guide, and security sticker. Installation is relatively easy if you already have a connection. Then, to set it up, it is necessary to use the Ring app. Once configured, you can proceed to make adjustments depending on your needs, from light brightness, video quality, Low-Light Sight, motion detection areas, to purchasing a subscription to get more out of this device. In terms of performance, I think the video quality is quite good, the image is clear and sharp, and the night mode works better than I expected. The microphone works very well, as does the speaker. The lights provide more than enough illumination, and the motion sensor does its job satisfactorily. Overall, this Ring floodlight camera has features that make its price worthwhile, such as video quality, field of view, customization, integration with other Ring security devices, night mode, etc. It is easy to install and includes everything you need to do so. Personally, I have other Ring products at home, and so far, the experience has been satisfactory. They are very solid products that are easy to use and understand. I can definitely recommend them.

With all the flood light, or pseudo flood light cameras out there, it seems rare anymore to find one that truly has the flood lights we expect for the side of the house plus a decent camera. Most have lights that wont reach the ground for any decent amount of height or the cameras aren't great quality. That's where the Ring floodlight cam pro comes in, and addresses both concerns. Packaging: Straightforward, packed with the floodlight cam, hardware, literature and mounting materials needed to get it up and rolling. The device is solid and should withstand weather for years. The two articulating lights and camera are well made, and being that it is Ring you know it's a name that many have begun to associate as a defacto standard in home camera security Installation: Fortunately I was just swapping an existing camera, the home mount worked fine, I was able to rotate the cameras and lights for an upside down top mount instead of a side mount as pictured, wiring worked as expected for any normal flood light installation Use: They function with the Ring app which is great since I already have a ring doorbell camera. There is logic and intelligence applied to this camera as with the ring doorbell camera as well, motion sensing, light enabling and disabling, among other settings. The camera quality is excellent being that it is 4K so it really is a dramatic upgrade compared to most cameras in this segment Overall: I strongly recommend this camera to someone that needs a true flood light with an excellent camera for their home.

I have always been a fan of the Ring ecosystem. I have various different cameras around my property and I have always found that they work very well. Our floodlight camera was getting old and I figured it was time for an upgrade. Out of the box you can tell this is a well-built product. It feels sturdy and that it will be able to withstand the elements very well. I live in southern Wisconsin so we get a wide gamut of very hot and very cold weather. I have never once had a ring product fail because of the weather. So, I have no doubt this will last as well! Getting it set up is very easy. This is the hard wired version, so if you aren’t comfortable with tampering with electrical devices, definitely hire an electrician or local handyman to get it installed. I installed it myself, and the installation was a breeze. If you have ever installed a floodlight before, you will have no problem with this. Once you get it installed, then you just go into the ring app and select to add a new device and then go through the guided setup process. Once it is installed you will first notice how amazing the video looks. This is the first floodlight camera I have tried that actually has 4K video. Note that if you have a slower internet connection, the streaming video might not look as good, but if you download a recorded video, it will be in the amazing 4K quality. These are a lot like other Ring cameras where you can change the sensitivity, set up detection zones, change what you want it to detect like people, vehicles, animals, or everything. There are tons of customization options to get the cameras working exactly how you want them. We live in a duplex, so I always set up a zone so I only know if someone is coming in our driveway and to send me an alert, but I have it set up so it doesn’t cover my neighbor’s driveway so I don’t get a lot of false alerts for people visiting our neighbors. I found that it worked perfectly. I was getting notifications on my phone very quickly whenever a event happened as well. There is little to no lag from when the event happens and when you get a notification on your phone. This camera also features the live view with 2-way communication. So, lets say someone pulls up in your driveway that you don’t know and you don’t want them there, you can talk to them through the camera and you will be able to hear anything they say as well. This is great for not having to leave your house and still being able to deal with a potential situation before it happens. There is also a siren you can activate as well if you really want to get rid of someone. I found all of the features to work well and I was clearly able to hear people in the driveway, and they were very easily able to hear me as well. As far as the floodlights go, they are very bright and easily light up our 4-car driveway completely. There are settings to change the brightness as well. Overall, I am extremely happy with this upgrade to my Ring security system. If you already have Ring cameras, this is a no-brainer to buy! If you are looking to add some security to your home, you can’t go wrong with Ring products. They are solid and reliable and the company has great technical support if you ever need it.

This Ring camera needs to be hard wired so it does take some electrical skill to set up. We replaced our regular outside front garage light with this Ring camera . Once it is connected, you just need to download the Ring app. and connect the camera to your Wifi. There is a yearly subscription fee, but I think it has is reasonably priced . Within the Ring app, there are multiple settings. I prefer the wired version since I leave this house for 6 months and the battery might not last. The app allows you to have zones for monitoring, motion, sensitivity, and schedules. Within the app, you can also control turning on the light or set it to automatically turn on with activity.The camera can give you an audio alert on your phone or iPad. The resolution of the monitored activity and the Live View is very clear. It is easy to scroll through the activity that has been captured. Since the camera is not running continuously, it sometimes does miss some activity. Amazon dropped off a package but the person wasn’t captured or if I back out of the garage, sometimes my car doesn’t show up. I deal with this by having multiple cameras and some on inside and simply placed in a window. This camera has excellent night vision and many times notices animals walking up our driveway. Since I have previous experience with the Floodlight Wired camera, it tolerates the cold Winters of northern Wisconsin and also the extreme heat of Arizona. These outdoor cameras provide great security for monitoring the outside of your house. I highly recommend this camera.

Ring has almost perfected the home security camera with the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen) Retinal 4K! The latest update adds the Ring-exclusive Retinal 4K -- arguably the best clarity, to your day and night-time videos. Overall Verdict: This is a powerhouse floodlight camera with best-in-class performance, but its true value is heavily dependent on committing to the highest-tier subscription plan. +++ Pros: What You'll Love! +++ 1) Retinal 4K Video Resolution with Auto HDR + At this point, 4K/UHD and HDR should be standard features that all security cameras ship with. 2) Floodlight brightness: + Easily casts over 30 feet of light—great for large coverage areas. The light also makes the color videos much better than the black and white, which is rare. 3) Excellent app + Quick and easy setup within the Ring app (about 7 onboarding screens). + The app is intuitive with Quick Controls (e.g., easily toggle flood lights off/on or activate the siren). Common functions like video history, sharing, Smart Video Search, Calendar view, and Quick Replies are easily accessible. 4) Seamless Echo Show integration + Easy to set up with Echo Shows. This convenience allows for easy viewing of video events without having to reach for a phone. --- Cons: What Could Be Better --- 1) Costly subscription model. - A subscription is required to really get the most out of Ring cameras. Most people likely already have a Ring doorbell, which pushes you into a more expensive mid (Ring Home Standard, currently $9.99/month or $99.99 annually) - or high-tier (Ring Home Premium, currently $19.99/month or $199.99 annually) subscription, since the Basic tier is only for single cameras. - Forced Bundling = Value Mismatch: Core camera functionalities, like 24/7 Recording and advanced Smart Search, are bundled only in the Ring Home Premium subscription tier, which includes Professional Monitoring. This forces users to pay for an emergency response service they might not want just to unlock the camera's full potential. 2) Technical hardwired installation - We live in a day in age where most things we purchase are standard wall outlets or USB. This is NOT the case. This is not a standard wall outlet plug-and-play setup. If you're not comfortable with electrical wiring, you may need to hire someone, as it is intended to be installed where a hardwired floodlight currently is. A plug-in kit is needed for a wall-plug output, but still requires some electrical knowledge. 3) Wind noise really interferes with audio recording - They need a noise cancellation feature for this (maybe this can be a software-based future update). 4) Digital zoom only - at this point, there should be SOME kind of optical zoom (like the first 3x or 5x). Without it, the 4K quality is quickly degraded when zooming. This also contributes to a slight washing out of detail in video when viewing in color at night. #PRO TIP: The settings are VERY extensive. I found it quite humorous that it takes longer to navigate all the different menus and options than it does to physically install and on-board the camera. You'll want to set aside around 45-60 minutes to be able to fully go thru everything as this is how you configure the cameras behaviors (what to record, what to ignore, how long to keep the floodlights on, when and how long to record, how to record - e.g. video only or audio to comply with local laws, etc.) *** Wish List: Future Features *** 1) Noise cancellation for wind. 2) Animal detection * This seems like an odd omission since most cameras on the market can detect people, vehicles, animals and packages. 3) Pan/tilt with auto-tracking * May require some design tweaks but would keep Ring as the standard in home security cameras. ??? Who might this be for ??? This camera is the perfect choice for users who are already invested in the Ring ecosystem, are comfortable with electrical wiring (or willing to hire someone that is), and are willing to pay for the highest subscription tier to get all the best features.

Great video quality, bright lights, and reliable motion alerts. Easy setup and works smoothly with the Ring app. Solid security camera.

Great video quality! Bright softwhite lights match most normal outside lights.
