It sounds like you have some concerns with your device no longer functioning due to water. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. It can be mounted on an outdoor wall, eave, or overhang. When installing, it's important that you do not remove the rubber seal from the base, as this could cause potential water damage. Be sure not to expose your device or adapter to pressurized water, high-velocity water, or extremely humid conditions (such as a steam room). If your device or adapter gets wet from immersion in water or high-pressure water, carefully unplug all cables without getting your hands wet and wait for it to dry completely before plugging it in again.

We bought the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus surveillance camera for the explicit purpose of watching our dogs side yard area. One of our rescue dogs is struggling with using a dog door and although she could go out with no issues, she struggled with going back in. Having a camera to keep an eye on her was important to us, as she would get distressed if she felt trapped outside, even though she wasn't. With the help of the camera, we were able to train her successfully. The camera still comes in useful to keep an eye on them, and as general surveillance should any people or critters find their way into our yard. The spotlight works great and illuminates the area at night, improving visibility as well as acting as a deterrant.
It has dual battery storage for extended life, especially if the lights come on more frequently. So far I have only inserted a single battery, but I soon plan to add a Ring solar panel to keep the batteries charged. Note that if you do install a second battery, the solar charger will only charge the active battery. The camera will automatically switch to the alternate battery when it's depleted.
The video looks really good, considering it's 1080p. It works well in the dark and will automatically switch to best viewing mode depending on whether the floodlight is used. The image will be black and white without the floodlight, but switches to color view with the floodlight on. Mounting as easy and connecting to the Ring smartphone app is super easy. We use this camera in conjunction with a Ring wired 2-light camera as well as a Ring doorbell at our front door, so the Ring app gets used frequently and the app works well. Highly recommended.

In my pursuit of a security solution that seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus has proven to be an exemplary choice. Its sleek black design complements the aesthetics of my residence, while its functionality offers peace of mind.
The 1080p HD video quality provides clear and detailed visuals, ensuring that every event is captured with precision. The color night vision feature enhances visibility in low-light conditions, maintaining clarity around the clock. The two-way talk functionality allows for real-time communication, adding an extra layer of security and convenience. 
Installation was straightforward, and the wireless design offers flexibility in placement. The device’s compatibility with the Ring app allows for intuitive control and monitoring, aligning with my preference for streamlined technology.
While the battery life is generally satisfactory, I have observed that frequent motion events can lead to more frequent charging. This is a minor consideration, and the overall performance and reliability of the system are commendable.
In summary, the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus embodies a balance of sophistication and practicality, delivering effective security with understated elegance.

The battery life is great. It lasts about 3 weeks but we don't use the light feature. We bought it because there were porch pirates who would regularly steal packages in our neighborhood and it is great at capturing anyone or anything the goes by! I'm very happy with it

It was easy to install,very clear picture, a wide range to view a large area. Also like the light feature helps seeing clearer at night. The battery last a long period of time.

This camera is very clear and notifies quickly when motion is detected. It works well at recognizing motion and usually only notifies me if it's a person with few false alarms. The only downside to this camera is the zoom quality. It won't clearly display details like license plate of my truck parked 15 feet away. All in all it's a good camera for the price.

This is highly rated for a reason. I tried a different well known brand of camera for the outdoor and it turned out to be a complete waste of money. Don’t be like me. Just get this one. It’s really good, very responsive, can hear the voices very clear, and doesn’t disconnect for no reason. The quality is super good on this one. I highly suggest getting a solar panel for it so you don’t have to keep changing out the batteries. The solar panel doesn’t have to be the same brand as long as it connects. I got a third party brand for the solar panel (that brand starts with a W) and it works perfectly and came in a two pack! Just make sure your ring battery is fully charged first and then the solar panel does a great job in keeping it topped up. Do not try to go in with a half empty battery or something expecting the solar panel to charge it up. It’s not how that works! We went in with a full battery, connected and put up the little solar panel. It’s literally been 3 years at this point. We’ve never had to recharge the battery, it’s always being topped off by the solar panel. Granted I live in a state where it’s mostly sunshine. YMMV if you live in a place with much longer winters and less sun but it’ll still be great. You’ll definitely still have to charge it less than if you didn’t do the solar panel (unless you straight up wire it to your house). This camera is totally worth the investment, especially if you already have a ring doorbell and monitoring service!

In my pursuit of enhancing home security with a blend of elegance and functionality, the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro has proven to be an exemplary choice. Its sleek design seamlessly integrates into the home’s exterior, offering both aesthetic appeal and advanced surveillance capabilities.
The 2K HDR video quality delivers crisp and clear visuals, ensuring that every detail is captured with precision. The radar-powered 3D Motion Detection and Bird’s Eye View features provide a comprehensive overview of activity around the property, enhancing situational awareness . The dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity ensures a stable and fast connection, facilitating real-time alerts and live streaming without interruption. 
The integration with the Ring app allows for intuitive control and customization, enabling me to tailor the settings to suit the specific needs of my residence. The two-way talk feature, complemented by advanced noise cancellation, ensures clear communication, while the built-in LED lights and siren serve as effective deterrents against unwelcome visitors .  
While the device offers a plethora of advanced features, it’s worth noting that some functionalities, such as video recording and extended storage, require a Ring Protect Plan subscription. However, the core features provide substantial value even without the subscription. 
Overall, the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro stands as a testament to thoughtful design and technological innovation, offering peace of mind through its reliable performance and user-friendly interface.
