• Q: Is the siren loud and can it be turned off or toned down? Fearful that the cam will pick up every time we walk by it or our workers or next door neighbor is caught by the cam and the siren goes off, esp. at night. (3 answers)

  A: siren only goes on when you turn it on. Motion does not activate the alarm

• Q: Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification? (6 answers)

  A: You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled. Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices. I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door. If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time. What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert. That might get annoying but it is an option.

  A: You’ll leave the light switch on at all times. Turning it off wil shut the camera off also. The light will always activate with motion and also you can turn on the light from the app. Just click on the camera and turn lights on. They’ll stay on till you turn them off that way.

• Q: Can you set a timer of how long the floodlight stays on each time it detects motion? Just like a regular floodlight of 1 minute 3 minutes or 6 minutes. (2 answers)

  A: Yes, there are time intervals. With these (wired) it is fine to have a longer time set. Also, you can set it up to capture "stills", which helps in basically 24 hour recording.

• Q: Is the Ring Floodlight Cam Plus Outdoor waterproof? Can it stand up to heavy rain storms? (3 answers)

  A: The box indicates that it can. I just had a pretty gnarly thunderstorm at my home on Saturday morning (an electric transponder blew out and my entire neighborhood was without electricity for a couple hours) and the camera did well. I opted for the wired camera, so it went down with the electricity, but came back on without issue.
