Customer Ratings & Reviews

Big improvement from previous cameras love the 10x zoom

Camera shows good quality and clear videos. Audio is pretty good.

It is a great camera and easy to install. The only downfall was had to exchange because the one we received was missing the battery.

Like the new 4G clarity, wish it had battery options versus plug in required.

Great video resolution, works great with my ring eco system!

This Item meats all we expected and wanted. the price is right and the looks is grate.

Beautiful quality at night its just like daylight.at night great product

We are older and hired Geek Squad to install-Great Decision. Camera works greak

Resolution is great and the 24/7 recording is a nice addition.

The camera has amazing clarity however while in use the unit has a flickering issue.

The RING Outdoor Cam Pro (Plug In Power) was easy to install and use with the RING app on my iOS devices. It took me about ten minutes out of the box to sync the camera with the app and I was up and running. As long as you can find the QR code on the back of the camera you are home free.. capture the QR code and it will easily and quickly guide you through the camera software installation …before you know it you are done. Captures weaker WIFI from your router. The RING Outdoor Cam Pro has a very wide viewing area all around from all sides and an extremely good picture quality especially while viewing/monitoring at night. Power cord is long at about 17 feet long and the unit can withstand very high and low outdoor temperatures. Plus a big feature of RING cameras… you can see and control the video on your PC, for many this could be a very important feature. ​​​Especially if you need a larger screen, have multiple cameras to monitor or have a more traditional security setup. So far the unit looks and feels very durable. Time will tell as I have it mounted two stories high. Biggest flaw? There is no way to secure the power cable outside. Anyone could come up and grab/cut it. Also, if you do have a place to hardwire the camera you would have to modify it yourself and I’m sure no one wants to do that. Many other brands do the same thing with their outdoor plug in cameras. Just wished it included more options to connect the power more securely.

The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is a welcomed addition to the world of Security Cameras. This camera is wired. The camera does not have an internal battery, the wire is cumbersome, and you must use the supplied power cable due to power requirements. This latest Ring Camera has the Signature Retinal 4K. The new Retinal 4K has Ultra clear video with better detail and crispness. Along with true color accuracy in low light conditions, there is also a 10x enhanced capability without a loss of detail. They even thought about the app display and optimized the video quality between the camera and the app. Next Ring updated its motion detection to tell the difference between types of movement and a 3d spatial awareness to understand what and where something is moving. This feature allows for zones where you can turn off motion detection. This new feature allows for precise alerts with fewer negative alerts. The built-in spotlight adjusts based on the current lighting conditions. This camera also works with “Alexa”. Remember to go to setting in the application and setup whether you want to participate in the lost pet and law enforcement using your feed and recording.

The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is a great camera from Ring. It comes with a Retinal 4K for the ultimate wide-angle video, 10x Zoom, Low-Light features. The Outdoor Cam Pro comes well packaged with all of the hardware separated and easily labeled. I love Ring products because they are very easy to setup and everything is user friendly. This camera was no exception. It was easy to I package and I was able to get it setup in no time. I was able to add it to the Ring app that has all of my other Ring cameras. The camera comes with a lengthy power cable and will need to be plugged up in order to operate. It does not come with a battery slot like some of my other Ring cameras. Some cameras run on battery only, some can run on either battery or a power cable. This one is only plug in powered. The picture quality is very good, as well as the quality of it’s night vision. The speaker can be easily heard if you need to talk to someone outside your home. Overall, I’m very pleased with this camera, just like I’m pleased with all of my Ring cameras.

Verdict: This camera is great if you are already into the Ring ecosystem and want higher resolution. If you are not in the ring ecosystem, please note that you will have to pay for a subscription to get the most out of this camera (see next paragraph). But then again, most camera companies also significantly limit the features of their free plans, so this is on part with the industry. I do find the camera to be on the pricey side. Subscription required. While this camera comes with a 30 day free trial of Ring Home, after the trial is over, you will have to pay monthly to get critical features. This may be fine for some and maybe not for others. Please do check the price of subscriptions before buying the camera so you understand what you are buying into. We installed this camera at a location where we had a Ring doorbell and where we were already paying for a plan, so this worked well for us at this specific location so we could continue to build into the Ring ecosystem. At a different location, we are heavily invested in a different camera ecosystem. First Impressions. The camera looks robust. It’s bigger than I expected. In the box, you get the camera, power cable, ring sticker, two mounts, and manual. Setup. We had to reconsider where to put this camera because we couldn’t hide the power brick. I mean it’s not huge, but it’s also not concealed like a cable. Once we adjusted the location and mounted the camera, setup is plug and finish in the app. Since we already had the app, the software setup was quite fast and intuitive. If you are new to Ring, this part can take some time as you must create your account and setup two factor authentication; it’s not hard but can be annoying (I just did this for my in-laws). Performance. The 4K resolution is quite remarkable, with the ability to zoom in significantly more than our Ring door cam, but honestly… still less than I expected for 4K. Perhaps my expectation of zooming in 4K resolution was significantly inflated. Image quality is great under most conditions. Integration with Alexa. By far, our favorite feature about Ring cameras is the seamless integration with the Alexa Show and Echo. Our cameras automatically display on the Show when motion is detected, and we can also customize announcements on the echo for motion detection. Amazing!! App. Unfortunately, I really dislike the app. This may be because we are significantly used to another brand of cameras and their fantastic app… Nevertheless, I still think it is not very intuitive beside the basic functions of viewing the camera. It’s also not really well organized. I prefer bottom-of-the screen shortcuts/menus because smart phones are “portrait” format, so there is much more space to add things at the bottom. Having the menu on the left doesn’t make sense when screens are so limited on left-to-right space. Our dislike of the app is the reason we heavily integrated with Alexa devices; we never really open the app anymore, unless it’s to review past footage. Things I love: - 4K resolution is great, but manage expectation on “10x Zoom” - Flawless Alexa integration; it adds so much convenience to the camera capabilities - Two-Way talk works really well actually; best that we have tried - Capable system if you pay for the subscription Things I don’t love: - Subscription is required get the most out of these cameras. Without paying for a subscription, I would not recommend getting this camera. - The power brick in the middle of the power cord will not be optimal for some setups. It’s actually really awkward and required that we rethink where the camera was going to go. - It’s really quite expensive compared to other close-enough offerings on the market for plug-in cameras. Overall, I think this is a solid camera. For those in the Ring ecosystem, I would rate it a 4.5. If you are not in the ring ecosystem, I would rate this camera a 3.5.

Is this the security camera that finally lets you zoom in and read that tiny moles on someone’s face from your porch? Is it worth the hefty price tag and the inevitable subscription fee? The flashiest feature here is the Retinal 4K video quality. This is Ring’s first attempt at the ultra-high-definition game and it’s a noticeable jump from their older 1080p and even the 2K models my folks have. During the day, footage is detailed, and that’s obviously important for security. You can make out faces, distinguish clothing details, and generally see a much clearer picture of what’s happening outside your home. The increased resolution helps a great deal when you have a larger yard or a long driveway. Helps to have extra detail along with the 10x Enhanced Zoom. Please note that 10x zoom is digital, not optical, meaning the camera is just cropping in on the 4K image. But because the original image is high-res, the zoomed-in view is still far more usable and less grainy than what you'd get from zooming in on a standard 1080p or 2K camera. But what about when the sun goes down? Ring tries to solve some of the common night-time clarity issues with two night-time features: Low-Light Sight and Adaptive Night Vision. Low-Light Sight is pretty cool—it uses minimal ambient light, like a nearby streetlamp or porch light, to give you a full-color view. No more black and white. However, there is increased 'ghosting' or motion blur in this mode if the object is moving close to the camera, so keep that in mind. If it's pitch black, the camera flips over to Adaptive Night Vision, which is the “normal” high-contrast black-and-white image from other cameras. It is clear and can be used to view details that you normally couldn’t see yourself in the dark. The overall video performance, especially in those tricky low-light conditions, is genuinely impressive and easily one of the camera's strongest selling points. Beyond the visuals, the other tech packed into this "Pro" model is the 3D Motion Detection and Bird's Eye View, both of which rely on built-in radar. This is very different compared to traditional pixel-based motion detection. Instead of just sensing changes in light or color, the radar measures the distance of an object, which helps dramatically cut down on annoying false alerts from swaying trees or shadows. You can set specific distance thresholds—for example, tell the camera to only alert you when something crosses a line of X number of feet from the lens. Bird's Eye View is also interesting; it gives you an aerial map view of where the person or object traveled on your property before triggering the alert. It adds a whole new layer of understanding to your motion notifications. Plus, the Two-Way Audio is pretty loud and clear enough to actually hold a conversation with someone. So, if the tech is so good, what’s the catch? Well, you probably already know it: The Ring Subscription. The camera itself is an investment, but to unlock its full potential, you have to subscribe to a Ring Protect plan. Without one, you’ll get motion-triggered live view and real-time alerts, but you won't be able to review, save, or share any recorded video clips. You’re essentially buying a fancy live stream for your phone. To get the 180 days of video history, smart alerts (person, package, vehicle), and video previews, you need at least the Basic plan. If you want the ultra-premium features—like the continuous 24/7 recording in 4K, AI-powered smart video search, and SOS emergency response—you’re looking at the more expensive Premium plan. This paywall is the biggest point of contention for me and why I always end up going back to the competition. You're paying for all this money for hardware, but you don’t get the equal experience because its locked behind a recurring monthly fee. I wish they would offer local storage (like an SD card slot or even a way to connect it wirelessly to a base station) to view recordings without a fee, but that’s never going to happen. Also, since Ring relies on cloud storage it means the 24/7 4K recording (or even the event recordings) will eat into your internet bandwidth. You’ll want to think about that if you have a bandwidth cap with your Internet Service Provider. Installation-wise, this is a plug-in Wi-Fi model, meaning you’ll need a power outlet nearby, which might limit your placement options. You might need to run an extension cord or hire an electrician. It’s built for the outdoors, but the mounting hardware can feel low budget. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you use Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit, you should know that Ring is primarily built for the Amazon Alexa ecosystem. Integration with other smart home systems is limited. Integration examples are hands-free voice-activated live video feeds, two-way talk directly on the Echo Show screen, and motion alerts that instantly display the camera feed. I couldn’t find a way to do that with other branded displays. So to Buy or Not to Buy? The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro, Retinal 4K is, without a doubt, a premium security camera. Its Retinal 4K video, impressive low-light performance, and radar-enhanced 3D motion detection are high quality. You get clearer details, especially at night or at a distance, and radar alerts to minimize false alarms. However, you have to look past the hardware and consider the entire cost of ownership. Are you comfortable with the hefty initial price plus the mandatory monthly subscription to actually utilize the all features? Are you already invested in the Ring/Amazon ecosystem, or would you be willing to switch? These are all questions you have to ask yourself. This Ring has top-of-the-line in terms of visuals and features. If you’re fine with another pricey subscription and using an Echo Show, then you can’t get better than this but if you’re looking for no subscription fees and more compatibility with smart services then you should probably keep looking.

I got the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro Retinal 4K awhile ago and honestly its been a big help around the house. As a busy parent I dont have time to constantly check whats going on outside, so having a cam that kinda “just works” is really nice. The Retinal 4K video looks super crisp… like, I can actually tell if it’s my kid grabbing a package or if it’s the neighbors dog again lol. The night vision is way better than I expected too. I can see everything on the driveway even when the porch light’s off. The motion detection is pretty spot on sometimes a lil too sensitive but honestly I’d rather it be overcautious when I’m trying to keep track of everything. I really like the two-way audio cause if the kids are out front I can just say something quick through the cam instead of running outside, which saves me a trip (or like… five). The alerts hit my phone fast, and the app isn’t confusing at all which is great cause I don’t have the brainpower for complicated stuff lately. Install was pretty easy… not gonna lie, I messed with the screws wrong the first time but once it was up, it stayed put. The weatherproofing is solid too we had rain last week and it never glitched or anything. If you’re a mom or dad who just wants somethin to help you keep an eye on things without stressing, this camera does the job really well. I feel a lot better knowing I can check in any time, and the picture is clear enough that I actually know what I’m looking at for once. Definitely glad I grabbed it.

This is an outstanding outdoor camera featuring a wide-angle lens capable of capturing a large number of high-quality photos and videos. It offers all the essential features one expects from a security camera in a compact design, while surpassing many advanced security systems with full-color imaging and an impressive 10X zoom capability. My current Ring products—doorbells, cameras (outdoor and indoor)—all work efficiently, delivering excellent video and audio quality while using minimal space. The main minor shortcoming of this camera is its claim to capture color photos at night. While it performs excellently in black and white, I've owned other devices that can produce vibrant nighttime colors. However, because this camera is primarily used outdoors for security, high-quality color images at night aren't necessary—detailed and reliable functionality matter more. As a result, this minor drawback doesn't affect how well the unit performs. With a subscription, you can unlock a wide range of features across all Ring products. For this particular camera, you get neighbour identification, quick and easy access to your video recordings, and an impressive live feature. The camera itself is positioned on the bottom left side of the garage, while its Wi-Fi connection is on the top right side of the house, demonstrating its excellent range. Additionally, the 4K quality is outstanding.

After experiencing a break in to our storage shed, I knew it was time to set up a security system. I spoke with the local law enforcement and they suggested the Ring systems. When it comes to cooperation with law enforcement, Ring has found the right balance between privacy and sharing valuable video with the authorities. I had a previous Ring camera, and looked for the additional clarity, detail, and night vision capabilities that this camera has. This Outdoor Cam Pro doesn’t disappoint. The picture is crystal clear and the night vision is a big step up from older models. What used to be fuzzy like license plates, is now very readable. The 10x zoom works great bringing in the details. The 2-way audio is quick to respond, and very clear. The siren is a real attention grabber. With customization, you can set monitoring zones with helps to reduce false triggers. The install is fairly straightforward, and easily connected to my wi-fi network. I recommend using it on a 5Ghz or Wifi 6 network for better video quality. There are few things to note. This camera requires the included plug-in adapter, so an outlet needs to be close by. There is no battery backup or local storage. Videos are stored in the cloud. The real added value features comes with having a subscription plan. For users with a Ring subscription, this is a great addition to your home monitoring system.

For those of you that are not in the ring ecosystem and are looking for home security then Ring is the the top tier move. The camera itself offers superior high quality zoom, 4K video, night vision, optimal low light viewing. It is a plug in which is excellent because you never have to replace the battery and this can be positioned anywhere where you may have an outlet. Installation is extremely simple and set up with the ring app is absolutely seamless. Once you are fully set up then you can set zones up on the app where if someone or something enters the specified zone then the ring app will alert you with a notification that someone or something has entered the zone. The camera will flawlessly pick this up and capture it be it during the day or at night with its night vision features. The camera also has a retina detection which works fairly well and it is a nice new feature. In order for the feature to work, then it has to be plugged in 24/7. Overall, this is a great camera and a really good upgrade to older models.

I find that Ring Outdoor Cam Pro Retinal 4K camera is a pretty advanced and a well updated camera for your home, compared to their previous offerings. I picked up Ring Outdoor Cam Pro to see how it compared to my other outdoor cameras from another big brand. With its 4K resolution (it captures video at 3840 × 2160 resolution for maximum clarity) I find the video quality has excelled and it was definitely worth upgrading for me. I would also recommend this camera if your household is already integrated with Amazon ecosystem. Here is why. The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is compatible with a broad array of Alexa-enabled hardware you may already own. Here are the devices: - Echo Show (all generations) - Echo Spot - Echo Hub - Echo Dot (for audio announcements) - Fire TV (various generations) - Fire Tablets (Gen 7 and above) - Amazon Astro (their robotic assistant) So with all these devices, this compatibility ensures that users can interact with their camera from virtually any Amazon device with a screen or speaker, maximizing accessibility throughout the home. I have their Eco Show (the one with a big screen in the kitchen) and I find it very convenient to review the video feed either live or recorded right from the device. Of course you can do the same thing from your phone but using a bigger screen and its integration with the camera is my preference for home use. Now, like all smart devices out there, this one also offers a subscription. I am not a fan of those, however it is worth it if you are already invested in the ecosystem. Alexa can deliver real-time announcements to Echo devices when the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro detects motion or when someone presses a connected Ring doorbell. With a Ring Protect subscription, Alexa can also announce when a person or package is detected, leveraging AI-powered object recognition. If you have their Fire TV, you get the same support and integration as well, which is super nice. I think what really sold me on this camera is its video quality. I find it to be their strongest point, my older 1080P cameras and its image processing cannot compare to the quality of this camera. The trade-off is cost of course, but for peace of mind and great detail in video, the 4K clarity is hard to beat in my opinion. This camera is a great contender to many other product offerings with 4K however its well integrated ecosystem and established business model means that these cameras will continue on being improved and its future support won't be abandoned. Check it out for yourself, compare it to other brands and see what works best for your home and situation. Hope this review helps!
