It doesn’t take much time using the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro to realize how incredibly powerful it is, starting with some of its impressive motion-detection features. (Installing the hardware is the more daunting part of the setup process.) It connects to Wi-Fi directly-on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency bands-and in my testing, the camera was up and running within a few minutes of following the intuitive setup instructions. Unlike most other Ring smart lighting devices, the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro does not require a Ring Bridge or other device to connect to your network. Christopher Null / IDGĪn overhead “Bird’s Eye View” shows you the path your visitors have taken. (As a side note, the unit is available in either black or white consider white strongly, as the black unit I tested got quite hot sitting in the sun.) As a seamless part of the Ring ecosystem, you can easily tie alerts and actions to other Ring devices in your home. Two-way audio is included, along with a 110dB siren that can be fired off on demand or if motion is detected when security settings are enabled.
#Camera plus pro resolution 1080p
The camera features a 140-degree horizontal and 80-degree vertical field of view and 1080p resolution.

The Ring Floodlight Cam Pro captures video in 1080p resolution, but you’ll need a subscription if you want recordings. Between the two lights you’ll find the camera unit, a beefy Ring camera with a large motion sensor underneath the lens. Each can be independently aimed by simply twisting the hinges that attach each light to the base.

Two 2,000-lumen floodlights that produce a relatively warm (3,000K) light dominate the device’s appearance.
