I’ve been using Ring’s original Spotlight Cam and Spotlight Cam wired for years and both have stood the test of time relatively well. Since Ring has upgraded its outdoor security cameras with a new Ring Spotlight Cam Pro, in this review, I’ll install it at my home to see what new and different and what’s been made better. *Get one here: https://amzn.to/44DUUyl ** Read or share here: https://t.ly/D5W8X Read more: http://www.TechGadgetsCanada.com Follow me on Facebook:   / techgadgetscanada   Ring Spotlight Cam Pro review I should start by pointing out there are four different models of the spotlight cam. All of the models offer a dual LED directional spotlight feature which is activated when motion is detected. Where the differences arise in how they are powered. The spotlight cam pro version I have is a battery powered option and battery only. There are also hard-wired versions, an AC plug in version, as well as a version which can be connected to a solar panel. Motion Alerts Here's another nifty option: you can add the Ring Chime Pro for some audible alerts. Once you set it up, it'll send out a sweet chime or any other sound you like throughout your home whenever motion is detected. Pretty handy when your phone isn't right in front of you all the time, right? What is Ring Protect? To make use of Ring cameras, or the Video Doorbell (read my review of the Video Doorbell 3 and Chime Pro here), you’ll probably want to sign up for Ring Protect. Ring Protect is a monthly service plan that allows you to access, download and view recordings from your Ring devices on your phone. Prices for this Cloud video storage and access range from about $5 to $15/month and fortunatley there’s no contract needed so you can cancel it any time. There is also a free version that lets you view your camera’s live feed, but you won’t have access to recordings of previous events. The specifics of each of the different plans can be found here. Set up: Ring Spotlight Cam & Solar Panel From setting up the app to the actual installation, it was smooth sailing. First things first, make sure to charge up that battery and download the Ring app if you don't have it already. Then, sign in or create a new account. Now, here's a hot tip: before you take it outdoors, it's easier to set up the camera inside. Once the battery is good to go, pop it right into the Spotlight Cam. There are actually two slots for battery packs inside. It doesn't matter which one you use, but the second slot comes in handy if you want to add an extra battery for more juice. Video & light quality of Ring Spotlight Cam Pro As you can see if you watch my video review, or from the photos, the video is sharp and easy to watch. As far as I’m concerned, it’s high quality day or night. The LED lighting is also quite bright, and lights up the area around it really well, plus that extra light improves the overall video picture too. This camera is also configured to be able to send smart alerts which can record and or send alerts to you particularly when people are detected. This is a great way to make your alerts more relevant, but you can also get alerts for any other type of motion also, in case you need to check if the neighbours cat is digging up your garden. Overall review Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Battery Overall I’ve been a big lover of Ring devices. The pros will explain why: Devices are easy to set up and the ring app is super easy to navigate. The video quality is good both in the daytime and at night, and the enhanced alerts are much more user-friendly, giving me far fewer false notifications. Ring Spotlight Cam Pro sells for about $229USD or $300CAD, and you can get it from Ring or Amazon.
