The Ring Floodlight Cam brings Ring's strong security camera bona fides to an outdoor floodlight. Without a plan, Ring lets you view live events only as they're happening, but you can set motion zones.

However, if you don't subscribe to any plans, Maximus lets you review the past 2 hours of video and download three videos per month. That's better than Maximus' starting plan, which cost $4.99 per month but gives you only seven days' worth of footage.

You can view a feed from the camera on the Echo Show, Echo Spot, and Amazon Fire TV Sticks and TVs. The Ring Floodlight Cam works with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. Ring Floodlight Cam review: Smart home integration I found it both unnerving and reassuring to watch video of people stealing packages and testing door locks in my neighborhood. You can specify the radius around your house from which you will receive alerts, and you can both post and comment on footage put online by others. I found it both unnerving and reassuring to watch video of people stealing packages and testing door locks via Ring's neighborhood-watch feature. However, you don't need to own or have purchased a Ring device to use this feature anyone can download Ring's app and view and report incidents.
Want to know what's going on in your neighborhood? The newest feature of Ring's app lets you view security-camera footage that other Ring owners (from any Ring camera) have shared, as well as other alerts - such as fires and reported crimes - around your home. Ring Floodlight Cam review: Neighborhood Watch One thing that the Ring lacks - and the Maximus has - is the ability to play prerecorded messages, as well as sounds of barking dogs, gobbling turkeys and more when the camera detects movement. Ring's camera also has two-way audio, so you can talk with whomever you see on camera, as well as a 110-decibel alarm that's loud enough to draw attention. You lose a bit of definition in Ring's black-and-white nighttime videos I couldn't distinguish any features in my face as I walked in front of the camera. Both cameras can be set to turn on their lights when they sense motion, but only Ring's can work in the complete dark, which is helpful for seeing things at the edge of the lights' range. The Ring camera also has night vision, something the Maximus lacks. In Ring's app, you can also set schedules for when the lights and the motion detection should be active. So, if you don’t have a plan (like me), the Maximus would often send me alerts when a neighbor pulled in his car on the very fringe of the frame. Maximus' app has this feature, but only if you subscribe to one of the company's plans. What's more, Ring's app lets you specify motion zones: areas in which, if it detects motion, it will alert you. By comparison, while Ring's camera has just a 140-degree FOV, in practice, it showed far more of my backyard than Maximus' camera did I could see the neighbors' yards two doors down in both directions. It picked up the rust-red deck and fading green grass of my backyard, and I could even make out features of my dog as he bounded around.Īlthough the Maximus camera advertises a 155-degree field of view, the device measures that diagonally, rather than horizontally.

The Ring's camera records crisp and colorful 1080p video.
Connecting the wiring is fairly simple, but if you're uncomfortable with electrical work, consult an electrician.
With the Ring, you simply twist the arm the camera is attached to.Īfter physically connecting the Ring to your house, you must then connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network via the Ring app, specifying things such as your address and the sensitivity level of the camera. However, I found it easier to adjust the Ring camera than the Maximus version the latter requires you to push the camera in and then rotate it.
