Ring Floodlight Camera

The Ring Floodlight Camera is a seriously souped-up outdoor smart camera and a great option if you’re looking for an outdoor surveillance option with the full gamut of security features, from a powerful floodlight to two-way audio.

These are somewhat fiddly devices to install properly and requires a careful eye for finding the optimal surveillance location around your home. If you’d like our help with a top-notch installation and network hookup, you can talk to us at 1-800-919-6373 or simply use our contact form.

Key features of Ring Floodlight Camera

The Ring Floodlight Camera has three big things going for it.

It’s a complete solution

First, it’s a truly complete outdoor surveillance solution. It isn’t just a night vision camera. It’s also a powerful floodlight, features a siren alarm (which you can manually trigger) and two-way audio. All of this is controlled, quite intuitively, through the Ring App. There aren’t many outdoor surveillance products out there which provide this all-in-one feature set.

The sensors are great

Then there’s the issue of sensitivity. Sensors have come a long way, and the Ring Floodlight Camera is built around the best quality sensors available for homeowners. Ultra wide angle and sensitivity of sensors means you end up with very few blind spots.

Zooming and panning

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the Ring Floodlight Camera is designed to take a step beyond simple motion activation. Motion activation (turning on when movement is detected) has been around a while. The Ring Floodlight Camera takes this a step further though by incorporating smart zooming and panning. This means it won’t just detect movement, it’ll follow it actively, giving you a lot more power to see what’s going on around your house.

What consumers are saying

As of October 2018, this product had 2942 Amazon reviews with an average rating of 4.2 stars. Interestingly, there’s a marked contrast in the quality of older reviews (which are comparatively low) and newer reviews (which are consistently high). We’ll touch on that more in a moment.

Of the positive reviews, many consumers mentioned that the Ring Floodlight Camera gets great support. Ring customer support is highly responsive and easy to access. People also referred to the camera’s highly sensitive motion-detecting sensors and the powerful options you get for tweaking what the camera will respond to. The negative reviews are interesting. There’s a marked contrast between the 2017 model and the 2018 model. It seems that the earlier model was less reliable but this had been resolved by 2018. Some critical reviews also emphasized that a careful choice of installation location is required for optimal results. Incorrect placement can reduce sensor range considerably. This is an important consideration and we recommend you work with us to get your installation and hookup done right. If in doubt, just call us at 1-800-919-6373.

How smart home friendly is this product?

All Ring products are excellent for smart home friendliness. They are designed to communicate effectively with every product in the Ring ecosystem. Down the line, if you set up your home with other smart home features like app controlled blu-ray players, soundbars and AV receivers, all Ring products will have a logic which fits neatly into your total home automation solution. Ring is also in the process of incorporating smart home assistant functionality (Google Home and Amazon Alexa). This would certainly be a cool addition.

Installation and setup

A product like this benefits from professional installation. Why? Well firstly, the wiring needs to be done right, so that it is secure and safe outdoors. It also needs to be positioned in a place which optimizes sensor effectiveness and ensures connectivity with your WiFi network. We’re highly experienced in the setup and installing the Ring Floodlight Camera. If you’d like our help you can call us at 1-800-919-6373 or fill out our contact form.

Questions nerds often hear about Ring Floodlight Camera

I get a lot of rain/ snow/heat where I live. Will this device survive?

These things are seriously robust! They’re made for the elements.

This is one of the beauties of smart outdoor cameras! You can configure these devices to recognize pets so that the number of false alerts you get is kept to a bare minimum.

I like the idea of good home security, but will it make my home seem uninviting?

Of course, if you want big and obvious security cameras outside your home, we can do that for you. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The majority of smart security products are small and unobtrusive. Unless you’re looking for them, you’re unlikely to notice them.

How much disruption will there be during installation?

Not a lot! All our technicians are well-trained in installation. They’ll do it quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
