The battery-powered Ring Spotlight Cam Pro has a wide field of view and HDR video support. But there’s an even better feature.
The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro was released in 2022 as part of the company’s high-end lineup of products. Ring cameras from the Pro line tend to support more advanced video qualities, dual-band Wi-Fi and offer bonus app features, like Bird’s Eye View and 3D Motion Detection.
Setting up the Spotlight Cam Pro is as easy as finding a spot for it. Because it’s battery-powered, you don’t need to install it near a power source or a place with direct sunlight access – though you can get a separate solar panel for it. The included removable Quick-Release Battery Pack ensures you don’t have to take down the camera when it’s time to recharge, making that process easier compared to other brands.
I set up the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro on the back fence to look over one-half of my backyard. My backyard is very dark and only has a light fixture on one side, where I have a floodlight camera, so I appreciate any extra light I can get when taking the dog out before bed.
I already had an Arlo Pro 5S covering this area but decided to swap it out for the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro to get more light on that side. I also have a Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera covering a large part of this side of the yard, but the area where I installed the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro is further back and one that the Blink doesn’t reach.
