Customer Ratings & Reviews

You guys I love the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro. The redesigned 4K Outdoor Cam Pro 24 Frames per second is awesome.

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

Works like went of our prior generation Ring cameras except the resolution is significantly better. It's quite expensive and is larger, but otherwise integrates well into the Ring system. The detail 4K provides is really nice compared to older cameras.

I have multiple ring products and love them and I feel this is just a faulty one. Returning it today

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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

Big improvement from previous cameras love the 10x zoom

Great during bright day time light. But at night it really struggles. Barely able to see a few yrds in front

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

locking features behind a subscription whne you are paying this much just doesnt seem right. I wish I could return this as there are much better options than this.

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

This camera currently has a firmware bug. I have purchased two copies and each one has the same severe bandwidth throttling due to Ring's firmware having a timestamp issue, causing the receiving servers to think there is a 3billion ms delay. When the receiving server reports this delay back to the camera, it interprets it as "network congestion" and self throttles down to 1.5-4 mbps. For reference a 4k streams needs ~30mbps. Ring itself says 15mbps is the requirement. I have notified Ring of this issue weeks ago, they have not responded yet. Search for Google for "4k camera live stream low mbps and throttling. Possible firmware bug found." to see an in depth Reddit post with evidence and details.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
