Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus with motion-activated 1080p HD video, White (2021 release)

Works Great!
Very reliable motion detection and lights. Easy to install and use. Very bright. Brightness can be controlled in the app along with motion sensitivity, motion zones, scheduling, etc. The resolution is good but will be happy when they have 4k.

Excellent Value
RING Flood Cam Wire Plus reviewMy order arrived sooner than scheduled. The support from RING has been excellent and they answer the phone 24/7.I chose the wired unit for reliability and a white one because of our Phoenix Arizona hot sun.I installed it vertically on the outside wall of my garage, about 8 feet from the floor of the driveway, facing my 2-car driveway and street. I ran a 3-wire round power cord from an AC outlet in the ceiling of the garage – about 15 feet to the wall. Measuring the location of where the unit is to be mounted is VERY important. I carefully calculated where the hole would be drilled through the exterior wall and stucco to the inside of the garage wall. I bought a 12” x 3/8” concrete drill bit and plastic 4” round box.The hole through the wall had to be reamed out a little for the power cord to easily get through the hole, a 7/16” or ½” bit would have been better. After drilling the hole through about 13” of stucco and wood for the extension cord, I cut the plug off and poked it through to the outside. I mounted the 4” plastic round box with long screws, stripped the cord and 3 wires and wired it up per instructions.The next morning, I discovered one of two tabs broke off on the plastic 4” round box and the unit was hanging with only the wire and the bottom tab. DO NOT USE A PLASTIC 4” Round Box. I bought a metal 4” round box and rewired and remounted the unit onto the wall. Be sure to use proper screws for mounting the 4” Round Box to the wall or surface.The unit is very heavy and there are only 2 tabs on the round box to attached it to whatever surface its being mounted on. The metal 4” Round Box with ½” threaded outlets comes with the screw plugs for the holes that will not be used.The panhead screws that came in the unit for mounting the metal bracket to the round box were too high and did not allow the unit to seal completely with the foam rubber gasket against the 4” round box. I used two Truss-head screws. Again, the unit is heavy, so be very careful when handling and mounting it.I sealed the 4” round box to the stucco wall with liquid nail to prevent rain from getting into the power cord and into the back of the unit. I painted round box and touched up the stucco.Now the functions and performance… I’m disappointed in the resolution of the image when zoomed in to enlarge the image of a person. The camera apparently does not have lenses, so the depth of field is very small. The feature to physically select the motion detect area is nice. The app is a little confusing to use but after playing with it, it’s works fine. The on-off selectable motion alarm is interesting. It has a recorded female voice that says “Hi, you are currently being recorded” when the motion detect is triggered.Overall, this unit is well worth the price and the time to install it. It has provided a nice level of comfort for added outside home security and links with my RING doorbell. I will know more about its environmental quality after a couple summers and rainy seasons. I subscribed to the Plus option for $100/year with video recording of all devices at home. I get shared neighborhood alerts on security issues that RING products detect which is nice to know what is happening around our area.Customer Feedback to RING: I suggest you revise your installation video to state to only use a Metal 4” Round Box and replace the panhead screws with a flatter head screw. Also, the resolution with a zoomed in image is very important for visual identification. Please improve this in future revisions of this product. I would pay extra for improved resolution.
