This Ring Spotlight Camera Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Right Now
If you’re looking to beef up your home security, the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is currently priced at $119.99 on Amazon, which is the lowest price it’s ever reached, according to price trackers .
It’s a hard-wired unit, so you’ll have to put in some effort to install it (or call a professional), but once it’s up and running, it’s like a solid, set-it-and-forget-it system.
The image quality is good (clear enough to recognize faces and details within a few meters) at 1080p, especially during the day. At night, the two 2,000-lumen floodlights really help it punch above its weight in visibility, illuminating a wide 270-degree area if positioned correctly. When motion is detected, you’ll get an immediate alert via your phone. From here, you can view the live feed, talk to whoever’s at the door, or trigger the built-in 105dB siren if something seems off. You can also set up motion detection zones via the app to avoid constant alerts for things like passing cars or neighbors’ dogs. Two-way audio is clear enough for short conversations, though there’s reportedly a bit of lag due to Wi-Fi or mobile network lag.
Alexa users will especially appreciate this integration, which lets you call up a live feed of the Echo Show or receive motion alerts via voice announcements. However, it’s important to know that while the camera works out of the box, recorded footage is only available if you subscribe to the Ring Home plan . It’s $4.99 per month for one device, which gives you 180 days of video history, people alerts, and more. If you plan to expand your subscription to multiple Ring devices, you may want to consider the $9.99 or $19.99 per month tiers. These are recurring costs that you’ll need to consider. If you’re the type of person who only needs live viewing and live alerts without storing video, this may not matter. But if you ever need to review package theft or suspicious activity, you’ll want that cloud-based history.
