Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am extremely pleased with this camera as part of my setup! I have it monitoring my side yard and shed, and it is honestly doing a fantastic job with excellent angles and brilliant, clear images! Setting up, as with every other Ring product I have installed (which is over two dozen now, between sensors, cameras, and related products), was very easy. Connection is incredibly stable over Wi-Fi and I the visual image is crisp and lovely to behold whether it is day or night vision being used. Now for the quirks. You should just know that while this does use a USB-C plug, it requires about a 20-watt power supply, which is built into the cord. This works fine for my application, but some people might be disappointed that they can’t use a usual USB-C cable and plug into power the device. Furthermore, there is no battery backup and related feasible solar powering for this; a direct AC plug-in seems to be the way to go. While I have no problem with this in my application, I just want others to be aware of what they are getting into here. Altogether, this camera gets a solid 5/5 stars for my Ring Security setup! I would highly recommend you check it out!

The Ring Outdoor Pro 4K Security Camera is one of Ring’s latest offerings in their new Retinal 4K lineup. These build upon Ring’s robust camera offerings which have had full HD or higher resolution, color night vision, 3D motion detection, and more. After using this camera for a week, I can say there are very few drawbacks to this new lineup in terms of performance but it may be hard to justify in terms of value with a great 2K lineup also offered. IN THE BOX: - Outdoor Cam Pro (Plug In) - USB-C Power Adapter - Standard Mount + Wall Mount and Screw Kit - Sticker - User Manual SETUP: Ring cameras are extremely easy to set up, especially if you already have a Ring account. The camera comes with a 30 day trial of Ring Home, one of their paid plans with additional benefits such as up to 180 Days of Video Event History, unlimited devices at one location, person, package, and vehicle notifications, extended warranties, and more. After scanning the QR code on the camera within the Ring app, it prompted for a software update to be performed which only took about 1 minute. BUILD QUALITY: The Outdoor Cam Pro is very similar in construction to their products from the last several years. It is slightly larger in physical size than some of the older products which is likely due to the larger camera sensor and radar that the Pro has over the lesser cameras. It comes with a white plastic housing with a USB-C port on the back bottom if you opt for the plug in version. FEATURES/VIDEO QUALITY: With this new Retinal 4K lineup, it is important to note that the camera must be powered at all times. Unfortunately, battery is not an option with their 4K lineup like it is with the FHD or 2K cameras. This means you have a choice between Plug-In, Hardware, or POE+ power with this camera. The standard USB-C plug in model that I have comes with a long, flat type of power adapter with a voltage reducer in the middle. This should be long enough for many applications with a household outlet nearby, however, for long runs, it may be necessary to get a longer cable. Ring touts the new Retinal 4K lineup to offer “up to 10x Enhanced Zoom” due to the greater resolution but I would say this is a very limited claim due to the digital compression that occurs with any cloud based security system. With that in mind, the quality is excellent. It’s much better than their HD offerings that have been around for years. The color, low light performance is something that stands out from my other Ring cameras I have currently. The 2-way talk and siren features perform just like their other cameras you might be used to. One feature I really enjoy is the Lutron + Ring camera integrations. This allows for the Ring camera to activate the Lutron wall switches (lights) whenever motion is detected by the cameras. This is fantastic because it eliminates the need for extra spotlights if you have outdoor lights near the camera's location. I wish Lutron would allow one to control for how long the lights are activated but the only setting available is for 15 minutes and works fine. APP: After using the Ring app for over 2 years, I find it really great in some areas and really poor in others. I find the camera previews and accessory light controls very easy to access. The history and timelines for devices is pretty straightforward as well. When it comes to the different modes, scheduling devices, and things like this, I find it very confusing. It is important to note that if you don’t want law enforcement being able to access your camera footage during investigations or other relevant searches that you must opt out of this function. This is also true for the lost pet feature recently introduced. PROS: - Video Quality - Motion Detection - Low Light Video Quality - Lutron + Ring Integration - Design/Mounting Options - POE+ Power Version Available CONS: - Price - Plug-In Only Options (Cord Awkward) - Local Recording (Only Available With Alarm Pro, Wifi Hub) OVERALL: The Ring Outdoor Pro 4K is a fantastic upgrade from older Ring cameras but it is less of an upgrade from the newer 2K cameras that have been recently released. If you’re using Ring hardware from several years ago AND are able to plug in the devices or use one of the other power methods, I would recommend upgrading to one of their newer camera offerings for the increase in video quality. If you’re new to the Ring camera ecosystem, the 4K and POE options would be great to help future proof your security system.

Since I’ve been pleased with other Ring cameras in the past, I was looking forward to receiving a new Ring camera with 4K resolution and an Enhanced Zoom feature. The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro provides great 4K resolution and enhanced zoom capabilities. The picture is extremely detailed—even in just the light from the garage and front porch—and a true upgrade from the battery powered Ring cameras of the past. The build quality of this camera is great. The camera itself feels robust and well made, and even the cable is heavy duty, and feels like it will be safe to use outside where the weather isn’t always nice. I’ve been impressed with the quality that Ring has offered with this product. Setup is easy: just download the Ring app, plugin the camera; scan the QR code on the back of the camera to connect; and finally, connect to the internet. The camera comes with 30 days free of the Ring Home Plan, which includes: up to 180-Days of Video Event History; 24/7 recording; alerts; and more. You can use the camera without a plan, but you are limited to Live View and Real-time Notifications. Overall, this is an impressive outdoor camera: the resolution and zoom are great, and I would recommend it to anyone who has an electrical outlet near the area of camera placement. This camera comes with an USB-C outdoor/indoor power adapter, which is 17.8 ft in length, so you have a little wiggle room for placement near an electrical outlet. Also included in the box are fasteners and instructions for attaching the camera, and a sticker indicating that a Ring camera is protecting your property. If you are looking for an outdoor camera and have an electrical outlet nearby, this camera is a great option. If not electrical outlet is nearby, considering one of the Ring battery operated cameras. I’d definitely recommend this camera and give it 5 stars!

The hardware of the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is exceptional, top to bottom, video to audio. And the app, though looking a little dusty and outdated compared to competitors, gives you a lot more features to play with (if you pay for the subscription). I think this is a fantastic addition to your home if you are looking for an outdoor security camera and are already in the Ring ecosystem. Especially if you are looking for exceptional video and audio quality, without having to pay for floodlights. Our backyard neighbors are very grateful for swapping out our old spotlight model for this one. And as you can see by the attached photo, while my old Ring outdoor cam needed the spotlight as soon as the sun started setting, the new Outdoor Cam Pro doesn’t even really need spotlights at night (up to a certain distance). Overall, I think this is an incredible consumer security camera for outdoor use (during setup it asks if you are using indoor or outdoor so it can easily be set up for indoor use too). I do have some quibbles with it, first being that the camera is extremely barebones if you don’t have a subscription. Essentially you can get motion alerts and live view, but no historical video saving (other competitors at least give you 24 hours). If I wake up and see that something triggered the motion alert in the backyard in the middle of the night and I don’t pay for a subscription, I just have to hope that it was nothing nefarious as there is no way to review what happened. But if you already pay for the multi-camera subscription, and are looking for the best video quality in a security camera, whether indoor or outdoor, I can see no better option then the Outdoor Cam Pro. Pros: Exceptional video quality Amazing low light performance Great audio quality Lots of customization within the app Easy to setup Happy there is a high-end option without a spotlight Cons: Most features are behind subscription Ring has had a tumultuous history with user privacy App feels out of date compared to competitors Cord is odd, has a little power brick in the middle that you have to deal with

Having every aspect of my home with Ring products already; I was excited to get this and test it out in one of my spots I want better footage. First thing i noticed was how large the box it comes in due to it being corded power. So no battery power here. Which this is a nice selling point in my opinion at this junction. I have currently 6 solar panels to my outdoor devices already, so having powered with better clarity is a win win. The process was quick and easy to get it drilled up and plate secured then the normal RING setup process, connect to your network. I have the EERO outdoor 7, so I have full bar with a signal strength RS of 46. It roughly 400 ft away from the outdoor wireless node. So that's a considerable upgrade from the previous outdoor cams. This being 4k was exciting because everything I have is a mixture of 1080P and some 2K variants that I have been slowly buying and upgrading. The 4K is truly 4K once you mess with the settings and tweak to what you need to get it right. The picture at night is super crystal clear and picks every thing up right away. I love i can now see text and license plates clearly. No more fuzzy people or images. Overall great upgrade and this needs to be the standard moving forward.

Video : 5/5 Audio: 5/5 Detections: 4/5 App: 5/5 Integration: 5/5 AI: 2/5 Local recordings: 0/5 The Outdoor Cam Pro is easy to set up and configure, its app is one of the best on the market and super easy to navigate. Outdoor Cam Pro has some standout features such as amazon sidewalk which allows your camera to work even when your internet goes down. This added with the neighbor’s feature and AI powered search party ( both of these are community-based features that allow you to find lost pets and alert neighbors about potential issues) helps differentiate the camera from others. Pros: Audio: This is by far the best Microphone/Speaker set up I have ever used. The speaker is loud and clear, I have the camera placed at the corner of my garage and can have a conversation with someone at the entrance of my driveway that’s how loud the audio is. No other wired or wireless camera competes when it comes to audio. Video: The video quality is excellent during daytime and even during nighttime the black and white video works amazing. The colors are excellent and you can make out rich details on everything. The low light sight features will give you full color even with a little bit of street lighting, but I did notice with the low light sight feature you will get ghosting on people that are 5 to 7 feet from the camera. I was impressed with how quickly the video loads when I am away from home and scrubbing through events is super smooth. While there is no 24/7 feature the camera will take still pictures throughout the day to gives you a timelapse effect when you are scrubbing through the video. Cons: Detections: While the camera did a good job with detections it did not do great with notifications. As an example someone walked onto my drive path and walked back I would not get an alert when they walked back. This must be an issue with the cool down period for alerts as the camera would record the motion, however it would not send me an alert about it. There were no false alerts, but this is a given as everything is being processed in the cloud AI: The Outdoor Cam Pro has a AI description option that lets you know what the camera is seeing. The AI detections do work however there isn’t much descriptions about the movements. I have used other budget cameras that provide details about the person in sight along with what the person is doing in the recording. All I got from the Outdoor Cam Pro was “person walked across driveway”. At first, I thought this was because the recording were being processed locally however this is not the case, all recordings are processed in the cloud. With that being the case, I am very surprised at how bad the AI descriptions are, I understand it’s a beta option but I was expecting much more. The Outdoor Cam Pro is a nice addition if you already have a Ring security system. The neighbors feature along with amazon sidewalk and search party are amazing features that are beneficial for communities. While the video quality and playback speed are very impressive, I was not impressed with the AI features. Having everything sent to the cloud should mean much more detailed descriptions of what is happening on your property. I have also noticed that 7 GB of data is uploaded a day so for those on limited data plans or slow speeds you could run into trouble. Without having a local recording option, it is hard to recommend unless you’re already in the Ring ecosystem.

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

Great security camera for outdoor. Image quality is excellent which makes the digital zoom worth it. Night vision is much improved over the previous models.

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.

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.

The Ring Outdoor Cam Pro is a Wi-Fi capable 4k security camera suited for indoor or outdoor use. If you have any Ring devices, it makes for a smart purchase. The camera itself is about the size of a tall beverage can, this model came in white and has a built-in mount which can be angled vertically. This camera requires AC power but can also be POE (power over ethernet) if your router is capable of supplying power over a wired network connection. Setup is simple, the mobile Ring App walks you through the basic setup using either the Android or iOS app. First it connects to your phone, then your Wi-Fi network. After finishing the basic setup, I found a temporary mounting area about 4 feet off the ground, with a view of my front yard. The 4k video quality was fairly good, with streaming HDR video. Once I looked at the app and the camera setup a bit more in depth it allowed you to configure a number of different options, including detection zones and video quality, HDR and color night vision. One of the features is something called Birds Eye View which provides an aerial view based on a satellite picture of where the device is installed. Anytime there is motion, the Birds Eye view displays a trail of dots showing the movement of the person through your property. The ability to Zoom up to 14x is noted in the documentation for the device. When I zoomed in on the video to read a license plate from about 30 feet away, I could somewhat determine the numbers/letters. However, the ability to zoom and detail provided might be a bit overstated. I suspect that a wired connection may yield more reliable results with less variances in the bit rate of the video, providing a steady clear resolution. Color night vision and HDR are both noticeable features. The color night vision is effective and looks better than the standard greyscale usually provided with night vision functionality. HDR is particularly effective and makes for a pleasant looking picture, especially when the sky is featured, with deep blues and nice saturation. So, for you video aficionados you will be somewhat pleased with the image quality of this security camera, as long as network connectivity (and actually the internet, since the video is traversing a cloud service) is good. Overall, this is a good consumer video security camera, especially if you are already invested in the Ring ecosystem and subscription model. >>> Pros >> Simple setup process >> Two-way full duplex sound, so you can listen and talk if needed. >> Works with the Ring ecosystem, if you have one device, this device integrates seamlessly with the mobile app and other devices >> Excellent low light/night performance >> 155-degree field of view (wide) <<< Cons << As a single device, after the 30-day trial, the ring cloud service is reasonable, the jump to multiple devices is not in my opinion << No onboard device storage or memory card capabilities, you have to subscribe to the cloud service to have video history of motion detected events << AC powered, so placement may be complicated

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!

After acquiring the latest Ring wireless doorbell and being very happy with it, I decided to try their new 4K outdoor camera. When in good lighting conditions and even in low daylight conditions, the image quality is excellent at 24fps. But before going further, I was a bit disappointed with its performance at night. The video quality is much worse than I expected. They advertise it as low light “sight”, but it seems that what they mean by that is it performs well in a cloudy or shady environment as long as there is some daylight. You are somewhat out of luck at night unless you have at least a little bit of light which improves the quality a lot and even records in color. I've seen worse but I was expecting more. What I like is that it supports all Wi-Fi frequencies available, including 6Ghz which is rarely supported by this type of camera. In fact, I noticed that image quality is considerably better when connected to either 5 or 6Ghz. It does make sense since those frequencies can carry more data and is usually interference free in comparison to 2.4Ghz. The issue that some people might experience is that higher frequencies have a lower distance range which can affect quality and performance in general. I had some slight issues when zooming over 5x, but overall, it performed better than another camera I tried before, probably because of the 4K resolution. One thing I would like to point out is that this type of camera may be affected by some types of lights, especially old fluorescent ones. That may cause flickering or even banding. That was an issue I used to have in my garage until I replaced them with more modern LED lights. Thus, I didn’t notice that with this camera. What I noticed only after installing is that it has a loud siren which can be set off remotely. That is great to have, especially when you’re far away from home. I tried it a couple of times and it worked instantly. It even has duplex audio if you need to communicate with whomever is out there. Audio quality is okay, not great, not terrible. While it works without subscription, you’ll probably want at least the basic plan that Ring offers so you can record whatever happens. Personally, I don’t like any type of subscription, but that’s the world we live in today and ring doesn’t offer SD card option to record, and I agree that recording online is a safer option anyway. Finally, although I noticed no great difference in the dark, setting auto HDR improves quality, allowing for better image details. Just in case, that’s what I set as default. Despite some cons, it is still the best wireless cameras that I have ever tried.

In the box is the camera, UBC-C power adapter, standard mount/wall mount/kit with screws, a Ring sticker to put in your window and the users manual. Disclaimer - This is my first Ring product but not my first outdoor camera. (I also have a doorbell camera as well.) So I am excited to see if there is a difference between the Ring and my current cameras in a different ecosystem. I do own a ring security system and the cameras did work seamlessly with the Ring ecosystem. First Impression - The camera seems very familiar as most of the functions are the same as my existing cameras. The camera says that it’s an outdoor camera but the plastic seems thin and I was worried about it being outside. All of the hardware came in the box, which was nice. I do like that the camera came with different mounting options. You can use the stand or you can take it off or you can take stand off of the stand and use it as a wall bracket. The wall bracket has a straight position or an angled position. The camera also came with a shroud to cover the lens. Installation - The installation only took about 10 minutes to install. It also came with plenty of power cable, so you should be able to mount it almost anywhere. Ring App - The Ring app is very simple to use, intuitive, pretty much anyone can use the app. Scan the QR code and the app walks you through the process. There is a firmware update after you scan the code. I appreciate that the app is simple and straightforward. I like the motion notifications via the app on your phone and also the ring security system has an alert sound as well. There is a little delay with the two way talk feature but it’s expected being a WiFi device. It is a bit faster than my current doorbell camera. The Camera - The views from the camera are really good. The camera does have very low latency over WiFi. I am able to span my whole back yard and into the beginning of the neighbors yard as well which is about 240 feet. The night vision with the live view is also really good. It almost looks like daylight. The only cons right now is I thought that the shape of the camera was a little odd. It’s shaped like a cylinder instead of being the shape of an actual camera. Overall, I do like this product. I would recommend to friends and family and I would consider purchasing again.

## **Ring Outdoor Cam Pro – Overkill Excellence in 4K** I picked up the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro to replace a 2K camera I already owned — and let me just say, I *loved* that 2K camera. It was reliable, sharp, and did everything I needed … until I needed just a little more distance clarity. Anything beyond about 30–40 feet started to look like a watercolor painting. So the upgrade motivation was distance detail, not disappointment. ### **My Experience After a Few Days** I installed the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro on the side of my house (and yes, drilling into the siding felt like a personal commitment ceremony). I wanted to see if all the hype around “Retinal 4K,” 10× zoom, and full-color night vision was real or just marketing. ### **What I Loved** * **The clarity is ridiculous in a good way.** The jump from 2K to 4K is instantly noticeable — zooming in actually preserves detail instead of turning the world into Minecraft. * **The 10× zoom really delivered** the distance improvement I was hoping for. I could clearly see further down my alley, which my 2K camera struggled with. * **Full-color low-light night vision actually works**, which surprised me. At dusk, instead of everything turning ghost-gray, I was still seeing color. * **Wide-angle view** covered more of my yard and reduced blind spots. * **Setup was straightforward**, even as a plug-in model. ### **Where It Fell Short** * **Alert overload.** Every leaf, plastic bag, and gentle breeze apparently counts as suspicious activity. * **Subscription required** for full features. Without it, the camera feels like a sports car locked in first gear. * **Heavily WiFi-dependent.** The zoom-in detail is amazing when the internet is stable — less amazing during a laggy moment. * **Might be more camera than most people need.** If you just want porch notifications, this is definitely extra. ### **My Verdict** If you’re upgrading *specifically* to get more distance clarity — like I was — this is absolutely a worthwhile jump. I’d rate it **10/10** overall: fantastic hardware, incredible detail, but with a subscription and alert-spam caveat. For basic monitoring, it’s overkill. For distance clarity and security confidence, it’s a flex.

I finally pulled the trigger on the Ring Outdoor Cam Pro, mostly because all the talk about Retinal 4K was too tempting, and honestly, it’s a game-changer for outdoor security. I used to have a standard 1080p camera, and when I needed to zoom in on a strange car or person at the end of the driveway, the footage just turned into a blurry mess—it was useless. But this Pro? The 10x Enhanced Zoom is wild. Because the initial video is true 4K, I can pinch and zoom ten times and still clearly make out details like license plates or faces that are way down the block. What really sold me on making the upgrade, though, was the night vision. The Low-Light Sight full-color night vision is exactly what I needed. I hate the spooky, grainy black-and-white footage; it always washes out important details like the color of someone’s jacket. Now, when I check the feed at 3\text{ AM}, the colors are surprisingly accurate and the image is bright enough that I feel like I'm watching a slow-motion video, not a ghost film. Plus, the 3\text{D Motion Detection} with Bird's Eye View is incredibly smart; it uses radar to figure out exactly where motion started and where the person walked, so I'm not constantly getting alerts from my neighbor's cat walking across the lawn. My only complaint, and it's a typical Ring complaint, is the subscription. You pay a premium for this great piece of hardware, but to actually look back at the amazing 4K footage the camera recorded yesterday, you still need to pay for the Ring Protect Plan. It's an extra cost that feels necessary, but if you want the best possible view of your property, day or night, this is the one to get. It’s expensive, but it genuinely gives me total peace of mind.

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.

If you are looking for a security camera for your home, definitely consider the Ring - Outdoor Cam Pro, Retinal 4K. One of my biggest concerns when dealing with home security cameras is video quality. Especially at night. The Ring Outdoor cam pro provides a very clear image at night, so it allows me to check on my cars and my pets when I am away. One thing to consider is whether you want battery over a hardwired security camera. I have had both, but battery cameras can be a pain when it comes to recharging. Unless you have a solar panel charger, which I don't. I also don't feel like buying a separate accessory to my already expensive security camera(s). So, the wired Ring - Outdoor Cam Pro, Retinal 4K was a great option for me. I know, someone can easily cut the wire and render the camera useless. This is why I mounted my camera high enough to where that won't happen. I also mounted the Ring - Outdoor Cam Pro, Retinal 4K camera close to my home's soffit so that I could also run the power cable through the soffit and into a receptacle in my attic. The installation is very easy. It can get complicated if you try install the camera on a masonry surface, but still very durable. It just takes a bit more time. The app setup is also very straightforward, and just takes a few easy to follow steps. Overall, the Ring - Outdoor Cam Pro, Retinal 4K cam is a great security option for any home or business.
