Another good review. In addition to my comments posted to another of your reviews, I'll add that I also appreciate the fact that you don't waste the viewers' time. A lot of other reviewers tend to ramble on at the beginning of the video for several minutes before getting to the point, or keep repeat the same thing over and over. The two of yours that i've viewed so far are to the point and stay on topic. Thanks!
Great video and very thorough test. Your video cleared up my confusion between the plus and the pro. Will be coming back to your channel when I need to see some good testing and reviews. Thanks hackster!
As always, thanks for the video. Also, watching this, I have to thank you again for your video of the missing lens cover on your old floodlight. Before that, I noticed a fuzziness on my videos and sure enough, my lens cover was missing and like you, I contacted Ring after I watched your video and like you, Ring sent me a replacement floodlight free of charge. So, like your replacement floodlight, it really is not that old and still works great. On the new floodlight Pro, I don't think I will buy. With the plastic base, it does look cheaper, so at this time I will pass on buying the floodlight Pro. Thanks again. Good information as always. Don from Milwaukee
Totally agree with your end comments. The audio and alarm are impressive. Probably the loudest alarm you have ever measured, but if you already have a ring spotlight there really wouldn't be a big benefit to upgrade to this one. Keep up the good work!
the 3D detection is especially useful if you have the camera facing the street. with the old camera, cars can trigger false alarms even if the motion zones are away from the street. i used to set my camera to "people only" for this exact reason but that way i couldn't see cars actually coming onto my driveway. and sometimes the people recognition fails (happens more often at night) then i don't get any notification at all. one time i accidentally let my dog out in the frontyard and she was chilling there for a good 20 minutes without me know cuz she is technically not a "person" so it was just recorded as motion, no notification. Radar is distance based and far more superior. when the zone is set at before the street, nothing outside the zone can trigger motion. the ring's marketing team somehow emphasizes the feature is to make us see the path of our visitors, making it sound less useful than it really is.
I'm surprised you're not getting more love for saying Alex-A. And then also cutting out the name when you were presenting the feature so it didn't set everyone's Amazon devices off. That's very courteous of you.
I just bought the ring floodlight cam to basically test it to see if I thought it was worth investing more into it. I really thank u for ur honest testing and opinion… so I went with the original flood light cam and saved the $50. So far so good. I’m definitely going to buy a few more flood lights and some interior cameras. I think I’m just going to switch my whole set up to ring now. Just way too easy and for $100 a year u can’t beat it compared to commercial security products out there. Again thank u
Your videos are fantastic! I was looking to buy the wired floodlight cam a few months ago when I bought my Ring security system. I heard a rumor they were releasing a Pro model, so I waited and pre-ordered as soon as they came out. I never would've even thought of installing switch guards! Buying some now :)
I don't know about the Ring Floodlight yet; but I am loving my new Ring Pro 2 doorbell!!! The quality of the image and audio surpasses the old one. I have the motion detection on high and I can pick up my neighbor opening up his garage door, which is a good 50+ feet away. My neighbor doesn't mind it, as I picked up someone breaking into his truck one evening; even after that incident, he doesn't have any cameras to keep an eye on his vehicles.
Waited for the new Ring floodlight as I was planning to go with the Ring ecosystem but I decided to buy 3 Wyze V3 cameras instead. I am really satisfied and amazed specially with the night quality. Since it records 24/7, it beats Ring's cameras 100% in my opinion. I love my Ring pro doorbell since the motion alerts are always accurate but the subscription is the downside since other competitors are already ahead of the game with regards to audio & video quality. Waiting for Eufy's 2k floodlight and it is coming out soon! Hopefully, you can make a review of that one. More power to your channel!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am still not sure if I am going this route or simply subscribe to a service for my security needs. I look forward to looking at more of your videos. thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video. I have the original Ring Floodlight Cam. The lights started malfunctioning. My warranty had lapsed. I was getting ready to purchase another, but they announced this model. My discount code wouldn't work with the pre-order. I can order now, and I know what to expect from the new model, thanks to your video. -jn
I love my ring floodlight cam out of all my ring products (2 floodlights, 2 video doorbell 2s, 1 original video doorbell with solar doorbell mount charger, solar security sign, ring alarm security system, 3 discontinued original ring square black stick up cams that still work, multiple chimes, chime pro and 3 solar spotlight cams). I love Wyze tho for the free continuous recording via micro sd card local storage and have the v2s, v2 black, pan & new v3s along with sense sensors & smart plugs. I saw Wasserstein made a floodlight mount fixture for the Wyze v2 & v3. I would love to see you review the v3 with the v3 Wasserstein floodlight mount to power Wyze v3 camera using existing light fixture. Love your reviews & channel. I always check them out before purchasing anything.
I like the look of the lights better on the pro. A tip for veterans and Ring Protect subscribers: I was able to stack the 10% Protect and 20% Military discounts, even on the multipack. So, I got the 2-pack Pro ($459 normally) for about $330 plus tax. With one at $259 I'm really happy at the savings. Thanks for a great review and I've bought mine for a new home being built. I figure I'll do one over garage, one over sideyard, and then traditional security light (motion) in backyard, with 2 Spot Light cameras. I already have 4 spot light cams, Ring doorbell (2) and stick up cam inside. Ring alarm and Alexa to round it out.
Thanks for reviewing this. Ring has always been mostly reliable with motion detection, snooze motion, etc. However the video quality is still quite poor and not worth the upgrade.
Thanks again for the video. What I've noticed is that ring cameras notification speed is really fast in comparison to others, that is a very important thing in camera's
The only reason I would consider upgrading to the pro is, that I'm interested in Amazon's Sidewalk 900 MHz bridge feature. Other than that, my 7 floodlight cams have been working flawlessly for the past few years.
Why I spent the extra money for the Pro light, the unit has dual band connectivity so it can transmit on 5G band as well as 2.4G band width on the wifi so I have better assurity the audio and video will be clear and well defined. One thing I can't stand is fuzzy images when catching bad guys. Thanks for your video.
Thank you - nice review! But I don't think you mentioned the most significant difference (for me, anyway) - dual-band wifi. I have had a lot of problems with 2.4 devices not connecting.
The image quality is definitely sharper but I don’t like the new installation mounts and the new spotlight design. The frosted cover seems to reduce the overall brightness compared to my original ring floodlight.
Thanks for another great video. I received an email from Ring about this and was thinking about purchasing it. I have the original Floodlight Cam and I’m on the fence about it. I might switch in the near future. I think you had a possum walk by your front yard on the video you had in the beginning. I also live in Texas so we see all types of animals. Thanks again and I look forward to more videos in the future. They are really helpful!
@@LifeHackster Wow!!! Do the fall Possums make a mess?? Question, have the ring door bell and Best Buy regular cameras, I’ve been thinking about the Flood lights fro the front and back, 3 in total. Do you think I should get the newer one? People in your comments don’t seem too enthusiastic about the new one, thx, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Warmer color temps are better for preserving your eye's night vision. Also, many people find the warmer lights more aesthetically pleasing (less industrial looking).
I got a good deal of floodlights 2021 with echo show5 second generation for only $150 it’s not a pro but it works really good too . altogether I had 8 cameras around my house and inside plus rings alarm too I love using rings products 👍
What are the pros/cons of Flood light pro vs. just using a regular floodlight with motion detection (already installed) and a separate ring camera with out a light?
@@proedgebiker I have 110 mbps WiFi which is 4 metres from the ring doorbell. My phone has 60 mbps minimum 4g network. However if I need to speak to someone via the ring, it firstly takes 2-3 secs to notify me. Then 9/10 I can't even talk to the person because the mic or whatever doesn't seem to work. There is definitely an issue that others have as well concerning this.
The image and sound quality is substantially way way better just look at the beginning of the video you could tell the difference by a mile even the refresh rate is alot alot more smoother as well
@@JUrena0123 agreed we have the first gen flood light and my god the image quality is terrible and audio crackles and has no cancellation what so ever so it picks up everything and u can barely hear peoples voices which sucks!!! but man this new one def has improved on the audio and image quality which is probably the only reason why people should upgrade other than that it doesnt offer much else...but obviously image and quality upgrades is what we all should be wanting and this cam delivered.
Nice review (as always) - I will never buy a Ring product because of the subscription. Ring over charges for the product then requires you to constantly pay.
Thanks...yes they are subscription based model and cloud based which limits them also on the video resolution..going to 2K or 4K recording, then they need to bump up their fee for storage costs.
Hi, I have a swann camera at the moment and I'm over it. Im thinking of replacing them with these ring cameras but I don't want to pay for a subscription as swann does not have this. Is the subscription mandatory and if it's not can you please advise what you dont get. Thanks
Only reason for me to get this over the old one is better compression and 5ghz support.. (I don’t have any ring flood lights) i might just go with gen 1 and bite the bullet on 2.4ghz and hope ring updates compression for gen 1.. or until they release an actual upgrade camera, this cam should be gen 1 enhanced.. should t have “pro” in its name.. thank you again for the great review
Thanks for the review. Anyone that thinks Ring loads slow use the Rapid Ring App. As the this Pro model I agree with most it does not seem very pro..... I will stick with my 3 original floodlights.... I think buy back from Amazon was like $15, that is lame.....
My original Ring Floodlight camera is mounted 12 feet up on the front of my garage and it can NOT make a license plate out from more then about 10 feet in front of it. If the new version was clear enough to read a plate number zooming in at the end of my driveway (22 feet from my light 12 feet up in the air) I would upgrade in a heart beat. Because so far between Ring sending a replacement, my internet provider bumping Me up to fibre and myself getting the light/camera required on its own circuit, the camera can’t get any clearer.
WIFI cameras are just not good in reading license plates... there is a lot of compression that they need to do so the footage file is as small as possible to easily upload to the cloud. You need to have an IP/NVR camera that has a narrow field of view or get a zoomed one and just aim it to the area that you will likely get and recognize a license plate.
@@LifeHackster do you have a recommendation by any chance? Have you done any reviews on those types of camera systems? I’m assuming Ring doesn’t have any solutions for that ?
So who’s filming the birds eye view as seen in promo video? Does it come with a second cam for your roof ? A drone? Or is that how good the satellites are. So ring and the satellites talk ?
Thanks for the review. I need to now decide if I keep my order or cancel it. I like my Ring Floodlight Camera...I have two and have another spot I could install a third. Just not sure how much I am gaining with this new one? Improved audio and somewhat clearer video? Does it connect over 5ghz band or still use 2.4ghz?
Love the video and all of your reviews. Question, long range wifi routers, what do you recommend? I got cameras having issues connecting with my 2.4 and I have a nighthawk. Don't know where to start. What are you using?
So in ring cameras you can’t set detection zones (outline the area you want it to react to while excluding other areas of the field of view), only rough detection zone distance ?
does this work with ring solar panels. Also could these be mounted on the ceiling instead of the wall while still being able to use the camera and light properly
@@LifeHackster ok thanks. It saying in stock soon . This is the model that you reviewed correct? I think is a decent camera for the price , currently have Argus and Argus pro .
Excellent video! Thanks. I want to use it for security a lighting on my back porch. Is there a way to turn on the lights at say 30% using Goole Home or Alexa for when we are sitting outside? I don’t want to blind my guests 😁
On the floodlight pro do you guys get gaps in your timeline? Like sometimes it doesn’t detect motion for atleast 3 hours and then it does all of a sudden? Motion frequency is on high and there is no motion schedule.
As someone who only recently purchased the older model im glad this new one isnt much of an upgrade since it makes me feel better i didnt wait
The backyard distance test is key for your reviews, imo. I'm glad you keep this standard of yours 👌
Thanks.
Agreed. I come specifically for that testing :D
Is any video quality lost by uploading to TH-cam? How far out would you say you can view a license plate?
Ring dropped the ball on this release, I’ve been waiting years for this and it’s subpar. I’ll keep on waiting
Yep lol

The audio from the camera is pretty good. I can hear it from the inside of the house when I tested it which doesn't happen with other cameras.
I like the Siring
LH you did another amazing job commentating this product the Ring Pro outdoors surveillance cameras.
Bruh just from the beginning I was already convinced the difference in quality visually and audibly is noticeable.
Thanks for your excellent reviews. Just bought 2x plus and not the Pros so that saved enough to pay for 2 years subscriptions to Ring. Big Thx

That 3000k color temperature is a game changer. All of my exterior lighting is warm color temp except my eufy spotlight which is ~5000
Ring should have just used bicolor LEDs on it and let the user decide...
The image quality is definitely sharper but I don’t like the new installation mounts and the new spotlight design. The frosted cover seems to reduce the overall brightness compared to my original ring floodlight.
I'm not really sure it is 2000 lumens.. it is dimmer.
Still staying at 1080P? Not worth for upgrade! Will wait for the 4k version
It’ll be 2025 by then, and that’s if we’re lucky.
No

Can you adjust the brightness or power of the lights?
What are the total lumens between both floodlights for the ring floodlight cam wired pro?
Are the cameras directional adjustable? Or do they only adjust up and down?
Can go side to side ~ 20-30 degrees.

Maybe a dumb question but can the bulbs in the Ring Pro be easily found at the local hardware store since they are oval?
No, they are not replaceable but normally they are rated to outlast the camera itself.

Ima get that ring floodlight pro black

Nope. All other cameras are OFF.

How many bridges needed for multiple devices on entire property?
No bridge needed.. Ring cameras connect directly to WIFI
So which is the best all around product the plus or the pro. Should we spend the extra for the pro?
If you are planning to get one and new to Ring floodlight cams, I’ll go with the Pro.
Thanks for the review. I need to now decide if I keep my order or cancel it. I like my Ring Floodlight Camera...I have two and have another spot I could install a third. Just not sure how much I am gaining with this new one? Improved audio and somewhat clearer video? Does it connect over 5ghz band or still use 2.4ghz?
It can connect to a 5GHz.
Love the video and all of your reviews. Question, long range wifi routers, what do you recommend? I got cameras having issues connecting with my 2.4 and I have a nighthawk. Don't know where to start. What are you using?
I have the eero mesh system.. no issues and I can just add a beacon if I have signal issues.
@@LifeHackster thank you! Did you review that before? I'll definitely take a look. Appreciate it.
Doesn't look like it's worth the upgrade, but if you haven't purchased one, this looks great.
So in ring cameras you can’t set detection zones (outline the area you want it to react to while excluding other areas of the field of view), only rough detection zone distance ?
What is the best wireless flood light camera and wireless doorbell camera? I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get.
does this work with ring solar panels. Also could these be mounted on the ceiling instead of the wall while still being able to use the camera and light properly
Any idea on when the riolink floodlight camara with come back in stock? Wireless that is .
I haven't seen a Reolink Floodlight yet.
@@LifeHackster I’m sorry is not a floodlight .
Argus 3 spotlight wire-free

@@LifeHackster ok thanks. It saying in stock soon . This is the model that you reviewed correct? I think is a decent camera for the price , currently have Argus and Argus pro .
@@josej-h1471 yes..hopefully it will be in stock soon.
I don’t know I like my old one it is really nice I think it looks better
Is it worth the upgrade? And are the lights brighter on this model? Great review!🙏❤️🙌
Excellent video! Thanks. I want to use it for security a lighting on my back porch. Is there a way to turn on the lights at say 30% using Goole Home or Alexa for when we are sitting outside? I don’t want to blind my guests 😁
On the floodlight pro do you guys get gaps in your timeline? Like sometimes it doesn’t detect motion for atleast 3 hours and then it does all of a sudden? Motion frequency is on high and there is no motion schedule.
but if your buying one of these now probably better to get the newest one?
True...it really depends on your budget.
@@LifeHackster this is true also
