By far the best most straight forward and in depth review I’ve watched!
You’re the truth Bro, found all the information I needed as I was considering upgrading to this camera
I love your review and you show everything. I work for Ring and I have found that sometimes watching a video helps a lot more than explaining it over the phone..Thank You
You should tell Ring their adverts are false how they make the picture qualityv of the doorbells look like photo quality but they are no where near that. But I must admit this one looks impressive.. if I wasn't renting and I owned my own property I would buy lots of these 😂
@@stompi3 nah i got a wired doorbell and it looks crisp
@@zvti I second this
Really liked your review of the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired PLUS... I am looking to put a new floodlight camera in my backyard. I have the Ring Doorbell and older Ring Floodlight Wired already installed. I enjoyed the portion of your review that shows how easy it is to connect to Alexa and view the camera...and when using the app all of the Ring products are displayed...and real benefit for those who already have Ring products. I have looked at your other reviews on the Wyze Floodlight camera...You are one of the best when it comes to product reviews...very clear and factual. Thanks for your time in putting these reviews together - greatly appreciated.
Just bought the floodlight and installed it today because of your review.. 👍🏽👍🏽
Great review! Thanks for showing all of the modes with varying distances!!
Another great review from my go-to channel when it comes to security cam reviews. I stumbled across your channel about 3 months ago when looking at doorbell options and, after much deliberation due to subscription, opted for Ring because I knew that I'd want to add more products. As you've noted previously the app integrates everything very well. Now I've added 2 x wired floodlight cams (recently on offer here) following your review in preference to the pro and I'm really pleased. What is interesting is that although both have night motion floodlight enabled and colour night vision disabled, one of the pair switches to colour after a very short delay whereas the other doesn't. The baseplate is slightly different here 🇬🇧 and allows power to be supplied without a through wall junction box. Many thanks for your all of your content. ❤
Incredibly good review! Thanks!
I like it. Thanks for the update review! Excellent job!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! After watching your video I did the install myself with no effort.
You are so thorough man !!!
Nice video, man! Answered everything I was wondering about.
Great job, found this very helpful. Thanks for the information!
Thank you for the video. You made it so simple to understand.
Good review. Appreciate your work. I’m getting one now.
Informative video. I think I’m going to wait on buying this one. I saw some differences, but it wasn’t that much to make the change. As always, enjoyed the video. Keep them coming!!
Thanks.
Great review thanks!
Just got this exact set up and very straightforward, thank you! But I can't help myself from cracking up every time you say Alex A...but again very helpful video and thanks!
Great video on install and review, now to purchase mine
Been trying to figure this ring thing out for two days.
Found your video and had it set up in 20 minutes.
Physical setup
Now, it’s up to my wife to get it on her ring account.
Very helpful video, thanks.
Awesome review thank you. Ring website makes the image quality look better than it actually is... But this quality is pretty good. And your distance markings were great
I have the Floodlight Cam, and I actually like it 😀
Great content. Thanks!!
I love your videos you inspired me to start my channel thanks for these great tutorials and so good when you are endorsed by ring that so cool
Thanks for the info 👍
thank you for the vidéo test
Thanks!
Love your videos new to the channel been watching lots of the older videos and working my way towards these newer ones. Anyway to post a video on how to wire the spotlight Cam above the garage door to the inside outlet on the ceiling that people’s garage door openers are plugged into? With how good your videos are and detailed be nice to see that on the wiring part.
Great video brotha than you! I will take advantage and get the plus with a discounted price bundle along with the ring doorbell pro 2. I figured I would go for that one since it’s my first time having it.
Thanks. 👍🏻
Thanks for the video! My original camera (a year old) became faulty, which resulted in it being stuck in night vision during the day. Luckily, it was covered under the warranty, allowing me to get a replacement floodlight camera. Not sure if you’ve ran into these issues with ring. I say all of that to say, that I’ll wait to upgrade when they release products in 4K or higher resolution. Unless anything breaks and isn’t covered by ring protect.
I haven't had issues with mine yet but 1 good thing about Ring is that their warranty extends to the life of the camera when you are subscribed to their protect plus plan.
Thx for the great details
You are welcome.
@@LifeHackster I’m curious which product you use?
@@lloydedmonds8775 I am actually still using the first gen ring floodlight cam - the one with metal floodlights…I also do have the eufy floodlight cam 2 pro in my backyard.
@@LifeHackster Thanks Kindly!
I have the eufy flood light cam and I'm super happy. Also no monthly fees 😎
Me too!
Great review.. but I LOLd everytime you said Alex-A 😄
😅
Look forward to your review of the new Eufy Cams soon to be released. Solo cam E20, Solo cam E40, Solocam L20, and Solo cam S40. You have a great channel.
Yes, I can't wait to test them out. Thanks.
Struggling to go all out in the ring spotlight and flood light cams due to their lower resolution compared to competitors.
I recently watched your comparisons on several different brands (awesome by the way!!). Now I think I'm confused on waiting it out in hopes that Ring will actually meet 2021 standards for video quality, bite the bullet and potentially not have visibility if a bad guy creeps around, or choose one of the competitors offering 4k video.
Thank you again for the videos! Such great breakdowns and analysis
Ring has not changed almost three years later 😅
I'm still so torn between Arlo and Ring. One major determining factor is I live in AZ. Within the next few days it'll hit 117. with either of the security cameras, I would have hem right above my garage and they would be exposed to the harsh sun/temperatures. What would you recommend in this case?
Excellent video, very well detailed. Quick Question - Do you need a subscription to Ring for storing the videos? Can this be used without a subscription? Thank you
Great Review, what type of electrical wire works best to connect this device to an outside light?
Thanks for the review. By the way you forgot to bring the car plate during night time test.
I still have to think about the license plate test at night because this is more of an angle issue than anything. If I hold it up towards the camera, it will all be glare because of the reflective properties of the plate. So, it has to stay in one position and to the level of a regular car and at a specific distance. I might do a separate video on this just to try to set this up. This also holds true with IR night vision...what you will get is all glare.
@@LifeHackster Ah yes...I remember there was one of your videos explaining this right? If im not mistaken it was at front garage or something (night time). I remember because the glare/reflective surface of the plate...it becomes white.
As an electrician, wire it up green to green , then white to white, then black to black. Always be grounded.
As an electrician you should know that the wiring does not care what colour it is and the colour of a wire does not determine its electrical state.
Always test charge with a multimeter not with your eyes.
Finally a soft white LED floodlight with camera! Not happy that it's plastic because it will crack over time from the Sun.
Hey LifeHackster, will you be talking about the eufy Ecosystem in-depth? And what about my video suggestion a few weeks ago for a phone screen recording showcasing your Google Home and Alex-A apps, security cameras and general smart home tech? Would be a great in-depth video!
Eufy is lacking still on its app as to integration between its devices. Only battery powered cameras and sensors connected to its home base are able to integrate with each other. I'll talk about their ecosystem whenever they have better integration. As to your suggestion, I've included it on the idea list. thank you.
nice
What cam would you recommend, the pulse or pro?
I just got a couple of these floodlight cameras to replace a faulty first gen floodlight camera. I noticed the wired plus has the vigneting in the upper left and a little on the upper corner. I didn’t have that issue with my gen 1. I also noticed that the snapshot view in my dashboard looks low resolution compared to my gen 1. It makes me feel like the wired plus is a downgrade from the gen 1. However the live view and recorded video looks the same as the gen 1.
In terms of installation, it looks like you install the Wired Plus the exact same way as you install the Pro, correct? Great video!!
Thanks for the video. Is the cam water resistant?
Great Review of the Wired Plus Ring Cam. It states the connectivity is 2.4ghz, is that the minimum or can the cam connect on higher frequencies? Thank You
Will wait for the 4k version. Any news for the drone flying cam? Do you think they will go ahead with this product or it’s DBA?
It has been a few years between product upgrades for these so you may be waiting quite a while if you want it from Ring.
I'm not sure about their drone camera yet. Hopefully, it is in the works.
Great video.
My floodlight cam light keeps flashing off and on. Help...
Great video!!! I was just wondering if a junction box is always required in order to install the Ring Plus? Or can it simply be installed flush to the wall etc? Thank you so much in advance.
A bit late for you but here in the UK the baseplate is different and allows the floodlight cam to be attached to the wall and also powered from an external (wall mounted) cable that enters at the o'clock position.
Just had my vinyl siding done and have blocks where outlet box was. Can I mount the ring flood light directly to it?
Great review, can I tell Alexa to activate the lights only not the camera
How far left or right can the camera be positioned? If you mounted to a side wall could it be turned to face someone coming from the front?
If mounting on a soffit or eave, do you know how one would rotate the visors on the light housing from being upside down? I have the Wired Plus (latest version) and it seems to lacks sufficient rotation. Thanks
Great review LifeHacker *Thumbs-Up*
I originally bought a Ring Plus but i had to bring it back because i read it didnt work with 5 G internet. I bought the Ring Pro which cost 280.00 but supposedly works with 5 G internet. I didnt install it yet.
Please note that the floodlight Ring has a 5” plate and he has installed it to a 4” electrical junction box. I’m not criticizing him, but this setup is NOT water resistant. I did NOT know this when I bought one and I’m surprised Ring does not make a junction box for retrofits that fit their plates.
Rings foam gasket on the back is more than enough to seal the junction box. You are using the central screw to attach the plate to the box proving equal pressure and will seal it. Tested it, it is weather proof.
Hello. Can you tell me please, can you use the floodlight independently?
Can you swith the lights on/off with the app or Alexa? or are they just for when the camera is recording? Thank you.
My existing follow light installed on brick house has a vertically installed rectangular electrical housing. Will the Ring circle style mount to that or will i need to modify what I have?
Can the camera swivel left and right horizontal aswel as vertical or its no good for my back yard
Can you send the link on where you got your junction box please. Thank you!
Can you turn the floodlights on and stay on or does it only stay on for max 15 min and turns off? Cause I need lighting on while hanging out in backyard at night when company over
Can the ring camera be used for live view? If so is there a delay and how much of a delay is there?
We are replacing our old Ring Floodlight cam with the new one as the camera in the old one became very blurry, any Idea why and what can be done to prevent that?
Do you need a bridge or base station to use the floodlight?
I miss the license plate test for legibility, good work though!
It is there in the video.. still daytime though, I'm still thinking of how I'll set it up at night because of the glare if the plate is directly facing the camera.
Do you really need the Ring protect plan to use this device, or can you record the videos on your cell phone?
Can you also adjust the camera from left to right or only from up to down?
Great video, I purchased the Ring Floodlight Cam Plus and I have two other light cans on the same circuit. My other ring "spotlight" has a red auxiliary wire for other lights to turn on and off with the motion sensor is engaged. The new Floodlight Plus does not have the red auxiliary wire and when I wire the switch to "on" the floodlight works but the 2 other lights on the circuit remain on. they do not turn off with the motion sensor of the floodlight. Is this new model not capable of wiring in series or parallel? Thank you!
@lifehackster Is the QR code only located on the back of the camera? Does a separate copy of the code come in the packaging?
Is the camera position adjustable
Is there a dusk-to-dawn feature with the plus cams? So the light is dim till motion is triggered then full bright?
Do you know how to connect the wiring if there is no electricity where you want to mount it?
What flood light bulb is used with this camera and how much wattage does it draw?
Does it come with the junction box?
I'm thinking of purchasing the Floodlight cam wired plus, which would be mounted under the soffit. Will the spotlight hoods be upside-down...or did they fix that problem?
So is the junction box not included?
my junction box doesnt have a ground screw or a ground wired what do I do
What size of conduit box are you mounting this on?
What if I don’t have a junction box to mount that camera too?
Si if the electricity is out the camera becomes useless? Does it have a battery or something?
Does the Nest Cam Flood light have color night vision???
Man said Alex-A you know 😂
Do both the floodlights have the option to keep the lights on overnight
Yes, you can set schedule or dusk to dawn.
Does it get cold where you live? I’m wondering how these do in the cold. I live in Canada and it gets pretty cold at times.
So how much is the monthly payment of the app to use this camera
I hate those twist on connectors 😠 No one uses them here in the uk, choc blocks or wago connectors every time 👍
The fixing is not ideal for UK outside Brick Wall. We don't use the grey junction box as featured here in the demonstration. We simply fix the bracket of the floodlight to the brick wall, then connect the wiring to a side waterproof compartment of the floodlight. I was just about to buy Ring floodlight cam plus, but when I saw this demonstration I changed my mind. The wiring system is not the standard that we use here in the UK for floodlight.
Hi guys. What’s the difference between the ring floodlight cam. Plus and the pro?
Here you go - ruclips.net/video/aBihY-F-GHI/видео.html
Does the ring floodlight have to be charged
Costco is selling these floodlight cam, how do i know if its still old Ring Floodlight Cam or the newer plus model? Is the 'Plus' printed somewhere on the box?
Yes, the new one should have the Plus labeling.
Once set up is done, what happens if I power cycle the floodlight cam, or if there is a power outage? Can it auto-connect to the network?
You don’t have to set it up again..it
Can you leave the light on all night on cam plus?
Yes, there is a light schedule in the settings.
How can you see live when you are not home??
Dang. When I read these were wired i assumed I could just plug it in. I didn't realize it was hard-wired into the wall. Unfortunately I will be returning mine.

Just wanted to know if you can only buy one of either the floodlight camera or the doorbell ring which one would you suggest not sure what I want to do.
Start off with a video doorbell…this is where most of the people/visitor you will be wanting to monitor.
@@LifeHackster thanks so much I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but that's what I wanted to hear 🤔
HELP PLEASE. Just installed Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus. At dark, floodlights came on and WONT shut off!! There’s NO schedule set. I adjusted the lights motion zone, reduced sensitivity, and even toggled lights to OFF. But they pop right back on!! ughhhhh
None of them come without the Camera?
