I have for the longest time wanted to replace my old and aging flood light on my house facing the driveway and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. Everything from installation to performance and video quality exceeded what I wanted. I am so happy RING is finally moving to higher and higher resolution with their cam lineups.
Included in the box is everything you need to get started. A couple of things you will need if this is your 1st Ring product is to download the App and personally a level for the mounting. You get the floodlight, a multi-tool and a ton of hardware (screws, caps etc).
If you are NOT savvy with electrical work, I would recommend getting an electrician or Geek Squad to assist you. I am not a novice but I am also no way a pro but it was easy enough for me to install it myself.
Installation took me from start to finish roughly 25 minutes as most of the time was spent removing my old floodlight and prepping the wiring for the Ring. Make sure there is NO POWER running to box and you should have just 3 wires. Green, White and Black for ground, hot and neutral. Using the App, it guides you step by step for the installation, and 1 thing I love is that this job is easily a 1 person job. A great thing Ring had in mind for installers in that when you are connecting the wiring, they have a hang tab you can put the floodlight on the mounting box so it will make it 1000x easier to install.
Once everything was installed and power restored, I was greeted with the chime and the App walked me though to connecting it to my network and adding it to my account.
Quality is outstanding. During the sunny times picture is crisp and sharp. I can zoom in pretty far and still see small details. At night, the night vision has improved a lot from my other outdoor cams. I even tested it with my and my friends cars to see if I can see both our license plates. While parked in the day, it was easy to read and even with night vision in the dark, it was perfect as well! I didn't upload pics of that for obvious reasons, but take my word for it lol.
I am beyond excited for Ring's new 4k lineup of cameras and will most definitely be replacing my older 1080p cams in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend

I have had the pleasure of testing many flood light cameras. This is my first ring flood light that I am able to test.
Setup was super easy.... The package came with pretty much everything you need to install the floodlight. The screw driver doubles as a nut installer. See photos.
Soooooo... If you don't know how to wire a light. Go hire someone or if geek squad can do it hire them. You will get hurt or electrocuted if you don't know what you are doing. Or even cause an electric fire. Anyway passed the disclaimer.
If you know how to wire simple 3 wire installation. Hot, neutral, and ground. The kit comes with bracket and all the different potential screw sizes with different lengths etc. also the light comes with a hanger so you don't have to strain the conductors whole you or put the electrical wing nuts on. Great idea....
After you install the light and flip the switch setup is super easy. Follow the app step by step and you are in. Use the custom settings as you wish and you are up and running.
Field of vision is really good. Pretty much 180 degrees left and right and 90 degrees up and down. Pictures and video are nice and clear.. day is really sharp and night vision with and without light is good. Night vision when flood light is on is good clear color. Night black and white is also good.
Here is the rub. Catching the motion and timing is always an issue with all of these cloud storage devices. It is not 100%. So just be aware of it. Other than that. Pretty solid device for what it is intended.

After using the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro 2 for a little over a week, I’m impressed with how much better it is compared to my older Ring floodlight model. Since I was replacing a first gen(early adopters) Ring floodlight cam, installation was surprisingly quick, the wiring matched up perfectly, and the Ring app walked me through the rest. Setup, connection to Wi-Fi, and adding it to my existing Ring devices took just a few minutes with no issues.
Once installed, the upgrades became obvious right away. It took few minutes for the firmware upgrade and once done it was up in running. The 4K Retinal video quality is a huge step forward. During the day, the footage is sharp with excellent color accuracy. At night, the low-light clarity is even more noticeable, everything looks brighter and clearer without relying solely on the floodlights. I’ve zoomed in, and the footage stays usable even at 10x zoom, which wasn’t possible with my older camera.
The radar based 3D motion detection is another feature I’ve to appreciate through daily use. After adjusting the detection and light zones, the alerts became incredibly accurate. I get notifications only for actual activity inside my yard. The bird’s eye view map is surprisingly helpful because it shows exactly where motion happened. Over the week, I haven’t had any false alerts, which is a big improvement over my previous model.
The floodlights are extremely bright and very customizable. I currently have them set around the mid-range of the lumen scale, and even at that level, they cover my entire driveway and side yard. They activate reliably whenever motion is detected in the chosen zones. The lights come on instantly, and after a week of nightly activity they’ve performed perfectly.
Notifications arrive quickly, and the two-way audio with the Audio+ enhancement is clear with practically no lag.
The ring app continues to be a strong point of the ecosystem. Being able to link this camera with my other ring devices, customize zones, and see a detailed timeline view of events makes monitoring the property smooth and convenient.
After a solid week of daily use, I’m very pleased with this floodlight cam pro. The clearer video, smarter motion detection, and brighter lights make a noticeable difference in home security. If you already use Ring products, this feels like a true next-generation upgrade.
