READ NEXT: Our round-up of the best wireless doorbells you can buy Ring Spotlight Cam Pro review: Should you buy one? What makes the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro a “Pro” device is that it’s equipped with Ring’s 3D Motion tech that’s also used in the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro and the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2. Essentially, Ring’s 3D Motion Detection uses radar technology to gauge how far away an object is away from the camera, and then begin recording when a person is within a range you select during the setup process. I had the Spotlight Cam Pro set up to start recording when it identified a person within 30 feet. Plug your Spotlight Cam into a power outlet Plug your Spotlight Cam into an outlet in the same room as your Wi-Fi router to set it up. Yes, Spotlight Cam Pro has adjustable brightness. It has a brightness of 375 lumens and a colour temperature of 3000K.
Illuminates and sends announcements to Echo devices whenever motion is detected, and lets you see, hear, and speak to people on camera with select Echo and Fire TV devices. Without a Ring Protect Plan, you’ll get motion alerts and be able to use the live stream feature, along with two-way talk to communicate with anyone on your property. Ring Spotlight Cam Pro review: Advanced motion detection The rear of the Spotlight Cam Pro has a small knob that pops into an adjustable base. It was easy enough to manage, but nowhere near as simple as the Nest Cam (battery), which uses a strong magnet to keep the camera in place. Ring Spotlight Cam Pro review: Price and availability The installation height of the Spotlight Cam Pro will impact how effective or ineffective the actual spotlights are in lighting up an area. With two lights, each putting out just 375 lumens of light, the Spotlight Cam Pro is best suited for lighting up an area that's closer to the camera. To put that in contrast, each light on the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro is 2,000 Lumens. Features for Spotlight Cam Pro include HDR video, Colour Night Vision, Colour Pre-Roll, Audio+, dual-band wifi, LED spotlights, 3D Motion Detection, Bird’s Eye View and Customisable Motion Zones.Illuminates and sends announcements to Echo devices whenever motion is detected, and lets you see, hear and speak to people on camera with select Echo and Fire TV devices. On all models, the camera and associated features remain the same, it’s just the power supply that differs. What’s more, you can retrospectively switch the power supply method by purchasing the relevant accessories. The earth wire must be connected to the product. DO NOT INSTALL if a working earth connection is not available.
The camera uses the same Ring mobile app as all other Ring devices and appears in a panel on the dashboard along with any other Ring devices you have installed. Tap the panel to open the camera’s home screen and then tap the play arrow to launch a live video stream that can be viewed in full-screen mode by turning your phone sideways. Here you’ll find buttons for initiating two-way talk, muting the speaker, and ending the stream. At the bottom of the screen are buttons for turning the lights and the siren on or off, and there’s a Control button that opens a screen where you can also turn the lights and siren on and off.

However, it’s slightly pricier than Ring’s Spotlight Cam Plus Battery, which is its more affordable option.Things you can do in the app include (left - right) adjusting the Bird's Eye view, motion frequency, alerts and view recorded footage (Image credit: Future / Rachel Ogden) On the whole, the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Battery proved problem-free in terms of monitoring and alerts once it was set up, although keeping it “talking” to our Wi-Fi was an issue. The property where it was installed relies on booster discs to extend the signal outside – and while this has been sufficient for other outdoor tech, this camera didn’t work well on the system. Often simply nudging the camera for a better angle would cause it to lose connectivity. Essentially, you’ll need a solid Wi-Fi signal for the best performance – and you may well find that while the battery doesn’t limit where you install it, connectivity could have a bearing. Ring states that the Spotlight Cam Pro Battery requires a minimum upload speed of 2Mbps for optimal performance. WARNING: Please follow standard electrical code in your country.
