If you’re not using Alexa services, you can connect your Ring account to Google Assistant and view the feed on demand using a Nest Hub smart display. That means you can view video feeds and alerts created by the camera on your Echo Show devices. The Ring app gives you high-quality video, along with plenty of control and detailed feedback Jason Cipriani/CNN UnderscoredĪs an Amazon-owned company, Ring products integrate with the company’s Alexa ecosystem of smart home products. That said, once you adjust the floodlights and camera to ensure the device is illuminating and viewing the entire area you want to keep an eye on, you shouldn’t have any issues missing anything potentially hiding in the dark. The camera records 1080p video that looks clear and crisp day and night, even though it lacks the HDR functionality that the slightly more expensive Ring Floodlight Cam Pro model offers. Using the Live View option, you can watch a live stream of the camera, and if needed, use the two-way talk feature to converse with whoever you’ve noticed in its field of view - or, if you need to, you can trigger the 105-decibel siren that’s built into the camera’s housing to draw attention to your home and scare off your unwanted visitors. (Regardless of the alert settings, you can still have the camera record all motion events.) You can set activity zones for the camera to monitor for motion and adjust the motion sensitivity if you’re getting too many errant alerts, or enable Smart Alerts to only ping your phone when a person is detected, instead of getting an alert for every leaf blowing in the wind. Once the Cam Plus is up and running, the Ring app gives you complete control over the camera and its settings. If you’d prefer to leave the installation to a professional, Ring has partnered with OnTech to send someone out to your home to complete the installation for you for a fee.
If you’re the DIY type, it’s simple enough - the camera comes with all of the tools you’ll need and the Ring app walks you through the entire installation process. Installation requires some basic electrical knowledge, as you’ll need to remove the old fixture and wire in the Floodlight Cam Wired Plus.
The Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is designed to replace an existing exterior flood light or porch light. Setup is simple, and with a bright floodlight, solid video and audio quality and motion alerts that keep you in the loop with what’s going on around your home, it’s the all-around best wired outdoor security camera we tested. Ring’s Floodlight Cam Wired Plus gives you wired dependability along with a complete package of smart security features.
