Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Is Now on Sale at Its Lowest Price Ever
If you’ve been thinking about adding a security camera to your setup but want something a little more sophisticated than the entry-level options, the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro may hit that sweet spot. Normally priced at $229.99, it’s now dropped to $159.99 on Amazon, which price trackers confirm is its lowest ever.
This is a rare occurrence for the Ring Pro series camera, which is typically found in the premium end of Amazon’s home security line . This model came out in 2022, and while the 1080p resolution no longer feels cutting-edge, it’s still a good package overall.
This camera is battery powered , meaning wireless setup and easy installation. It also offers a wide 140-degree viewing angle, quick notifications when motion is detected, and exceptionally clear two-way audio. According to this ZDNet review , you can have a full conversation with someone 40 feet away from the camera without any lag or distortion. However, the floodlight function isn’t that strong—it maxes out at 375 lumens, which is enough for basic visibility in a small yard or porch, but not what you need for full floodlight illumination. However, it is equipped with color night vision and adjustable alarms, adding another layer of deterrence.
To record and store video, you’ll need a Ring Home subscription , which starts at $4.99 per month for a single camera, but live view and alerts work without it. And while it works well with Alexa and IFTTT, it doesn’t support Google Assistant or HomeKit. As for battery life, depending on your activity zones and lighting preferences, it can last anywhere from six months to a year, notes PCMag’s review .
