Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro with Bird’s Eye View and 3D Motion Detection, White

The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is absolutely fantastic! The Bird’s Eye View and 3D motion detection are game changers for home security, providing a detailed and comprehensive view of the surrounding area. I love how it not only captures motion from all angles but also allows me to track movement across my property, ensuring I never miss anything important.The HD video quality is crystal clear, and the floodlights are extremely bright, providing excellent visibility even at night. The camera’s color and night vision are top-notch, making it easy to identify people and objects in the yard no matter the time of day or night. Setting up the camera was quick and easy, and the integration with the Ring app is seamless, allowing me to view live footage, receive alerts, and communicate through the two-way audio feature.I feel so much safer with this camera installed—it gives me peace of mind knowing that my home is under 24/7 surveillance. The motion alerts are highly customizable, and the security light is powerful enough to deter any unwanted visitors.If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality security camera with advanced features, I highly recommend the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. It’s everything you need for superior home protection.

Great picture. No batteries to worry about. Good flood light. Easy to install and program. Much better product than others.

Hardwired so no battery is great, connects well to the wifi and is pretty clear even at night. Motion detection works well so I can keep an eye on my puppy and things even when not home if she's out.

We have a large 3-level house, so I bought 5 of these to get complete coverage. We also have a ring doorbell. I’ll break down my review into parts because I have a lot to say.nstallationThe base comes with a built-in tab that you can hang the unit from while you’re on the ladder and wiring it up. This works well if you’re mounting it vertically. However I had 2 locations where I had to mount it upside down (replacing older light fixtures), and in that case the ribbon holding the unit wasn’t long enough, so I had to rig up an extension with an old lanyard. The ribbon needs to be just 2” longer.Activation in the AppRing did a great job here. Every one of my units was connected to Wi-Fi within a few minutes, and after downloading the latest code they were off and running. I used my iPhone 13 for setup, and it’s very intuitive if you’re somewhat technically inclined.ConnectivityI checked the device health and noticed that 3 units were in the red, so I added a UniFi Wi-Fi access point to that side of the house, which mostly solved the problem. Ideally you want the RSSI to be better than -70, but I have one unit that still shows -74 and it works fine. Live View takes 3-4 seconds to come up on all my units. My 2 access points are UniFi UAP-AC-HD and UniFi UAC-AC-PRO.Day-to-Day UseThe Ring software comes with a rich set of options. We had to activate Smart Alerts to avoid getting alerts for cats and raccoons, but that feature works well. The lights still come on immediately, but it seems to takes a few more seconds to get an alert for a Person. This is a fair trade-off. Ring’s app is easy to use, and my non-nerd wife figured it out pretty quickly.I signed up for Protect Plus, currently $10 a month. It stores 60 days of video with no usage limits. I feel like this is a good price.SummaryI haven’t used older Ring units, so I can’t compare to them, but I’m very happy with the quality of Ring’s latest software and hardware. This weekend I’ll be adding an indoor alarm system. Highly recommended!

Purpose:Hardwired to existing electrical boxes for 24-7 function (as long as you have power). Overall, I don't know why these are pricey. For most people's purposes, good overall camera. Here are some details:Camera Resolution:Pro 2 are 1080P camera resolution, not 4K/8K. Because resolution is not 4K/ 8K, seeing details such as faces from a *distance,* not so great. General images/ video good for most purposes.Why Pro 2:The Pro 2 (2024) is a HUGE difference from older models. If you want decent camera security, pony up and get higher quality (latest versions). I would not consider similar battery-operated Ring 1 cameras because you'll have to change the (lithium) battery, and if the camera is high mounted, this can get annoying. I used hardwired camera to electrical socket from inside the residence.Despite many public claims, small lithium batteries don't last 5 years. Maybe 6 months to 1 year at best, when using 24-7. That is my experience with many lithium battery-powered devices over many years.Ring Pro 2 Flood Lamps:The LED flood lamps on this version creates enough light to light up like near daylight in total darkness.The Ring App:The Ring app is easy to use. You can track all your Ring cameras/ devices from the App. You can also share the app from the master account (registered user) with other family members or authorized persons. ONLY the master account (registered user), can delete videos and change the settings for devices.Using the Ring app, you can also customize the camera to a reasonable coverage area, and adjust it for alerts. This camera even picked up small cats, dogs, and even a small rodent in the middle of the night outside near (covered) trash cans.The flood lamp stays on (you decide how long, how bright or even all night. Adjust it easy from the App). I think it's best for flood lamps to come on when motion is detected at night only. I prefer maximum flood light brightness. No more hiding in the dark from passing strangers.Camera Privacy Note:Make sure your cameras are not covering over your neighbor's private property lines. Also note to insure the (hand-adjustable) flood lamps aren't pointing at neighbors that might keep them up at night.Siren Feature:I have not used the siren yet. I think it will freak out the neighbors. If you have a need for an audible alert such as for a business at night, maybe turn on the siren. Keep in mind anything that comes within the range, will trigger an alert. If you are using the siren, it can alert a lot unless no one is supposed to be in your camera zone (coverage) area.Install:Get someone who understands electrical box outlets (plugs). Power down residence before installing/ touching live hot wires!Ring Help:Toll free help line was helpful when I had some install issues.VPN:VPN is not supported by Ring. If using a VPN (virtual private network), you'll have to turn that app off first before using the Ring app. Then, turn the VPN back on after you're done. I know it's annoying, but if you want to use VPN, this is how to do it.Cellular or Wi-Fi.Ring works on your own WiFi network. Suggest use your cell phone's cellular data and WiFi. If use WIFI only, you won't see alerts until you have WIFI again.Ring Neighborhood Sharing:Not sharing with neighbors because they don't need to be notified when I come and go, and when.Hope this helps.
