Ring - Floodlight Cam - White

I bought it - and I absolutely love it! At first i wanted to buy Arlo LED 2k cam but after I learned that in order to achieve maximubrigtness i have to purchase addl power supply and cables, - screw that!- i went with this option- always powered on- even if smb wants to shut down my electricity- they would be on recording which is stored on the cloud( $3 per month for one device), awesome! Me and my wife love our new cam! For the whole time i had it( 1 month) the server had only one time glitch where my mail came in and i was at home but the notification did not alert me - i called ring support right away - they apologized for inconvenience and told me that even I couldn’t see my video in the history- once they finish upgrading the server i will be able to watch it( honestly I thought it never will happen) lol, but to my surprise, the next day i saw the video of mailman putting my package on the doorsteps! Again- this thing is awesome bcs you don’t have to worry about any batteries or if how most of them are non replaceable- to throw away your “toy” after couple of years! Lol. P.S. angle of view is awesome too and you’re able to change the motion zones( and you can have multiple separate motion zones), so it won’t bother you when you just let your dog out. Screenshot attached. Thanks!

The Ring Floodlight Cam works a lot better than the two battery operated Ring Spotlight Cams, which I took back for a refund. The motion sensing and video recording are more consistent and works about 98% of the time. There have been a few times the Floodlight Cam failed to record video during a motion alert, but a Ring representative emailed me in a timely manner and gave suggestions on correcting this issue. Video quality during the day is good. You can easily identify who's in your yard and whats going on. The video quality at night is just average at best. I've seen better on cheaper cameras. If something were to happen at night, you better hope the person being recorded is within 10 feet of the camera or you might have a hard time identifying this individual. NOW FOR THE WORST PART OF THIS SYSTEM............THE APP I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Andriod 7.1 and everything is fully updated on my phone. My home wi-fi is not an issue and the Ring Floodlight Health Status always shows my connection as good to excellent. No problems there. Checking your motion alerts at home when your phone is connected to the same wi-fi as the Ring Floodlight Cam, all is well and the app responds most of the time. Now here is the problem.........75% of the time I've had motion alerts being away from home using my data network through Verizon, the app fails miserably. I get a motion alert, go to live view and get noting but a black screen with a rolling icon. This will eventually get you to a screen that states " Your Phone Is Having Trouble Connecting To The Ring". This is not caused by a poor cell signal. I have had full bars on Verizon's 4g LTE network and get nothing. How in the world are you supposed to view, talk or sound the alarm if needed when the app fails to deliver. I am not the only person out there with this issue. There are a lot of complaints posted in online forums, Google Play reviews of this app, YouTube and other sources stating the same issue. Ring needs to correct this problem. We have all seen the commercials of people out and about making it look so easy to respond to Motion Alerts, but this is not the case.

I love this ring camera. I bought the version that has floodlights and goes wired. It’s great and does not require changing batteries. It’s surpassed my expectations. There is a small $3 per camera monthly fee if you want to have everything available. If you have more than one ring device you might want to consider the $10 a month for unlimited amount of devices fee rather than $3 per device.

This is one of three Ring cameras I purchased. It is mounted above a garage door, overlooking a driveway. The wide angle coverage gives a great view of the driveway. Almost no false motion alerts. The LED floodlights come on when motion is detected in the dark and do a nice job of lighting up the area. Picture quality is quite good. I needed an electrician to mount an electrical box on the outside wall where the camera is mounted, which added to the cost, but it does not need a battery, so it was worth this extra one time expense. Very pleased.

This is a great combo. The flood light is pretty bright. We have other LED flood lights on our house and I like the brightness and color temperature of these better. It has a good range of movement to be able to change where the lights aim. The motion sensor is pretty sensitive and has a good reach (depending on how high off the ground you mount the light. The cameras look good and you can adjust the sensitivity of when they detect motion. I am able to read license plates from where I have it mounted on my garage, about 12-15' off the ground. I have one that the speaker doesn't seem to work on and I keep forgetting to try the other. I really like that it is all powered by the electricity that powers the flood light and I don't have to worry about charging or swapping batteries on my exterior cameras, and that it works with my doorbell app. CONS: I can't view all my cameras on a singe screen in the app. It takes a fair amount of navigation to get from one camera to another, if you just want to see what's going on. As of right now (Nov 2017) there isn't any integration for the camera, motion, or lights with Smartthings. I really like the integration with my Ring doorbell and Smartthings and though that I would have the same functionality with the floodlight. So far, I own 2 of these and have been happy with them. Make sure you have good wifi coverage where you want to mount them, I am on the fringes and the quality of my doorbell videos and floodlight cam videos suffer as a result. I plan on improving signal in those areas to help them.

I was able to set up easily in the place of previous floodlight. Motion sensing is excellent and covers a wide area. Video quality is adequate. You are able to zoom in on live or pre-recorded videos in the Ring app. It integrates well with Alexa and you can view live cam on Echo show using just voice commands. Haven’t checked the lighting quality in the dark yet. Set up at my moms backyard to complement her first gen Ring front doorbell. I think she will love it!

We bought the hardwire floodlight/camera one, I understand it the best way to go. Love it. Great pictures and my kids love talking to people through the camera. You can chose black and white or color options. Def recommend.

can't go wrong with Ring and this floodlight is no exception. it gives great video quality and the lights are nice and bright. The reason I dinged the floodlight one star is for the pathetic siren. It is not the reason to buy this light, it is way too soft and wouldn't scare off anybody. either have a siren that's puts out some volume, at least as loud as a car alarm, or just leave it out of the unit.
