Outdoor Cameras

Ring Floodlight Cam
Best Outdoor Deterrent Video: 1080p  |  Power: Hardwired  |  Lights: LED floodlights  |  Siren: 110dB

Two powerful LED floodlights, a 1080p camera and a 110dB siren in one hardwired unit. The lights are genuinely bright and the colour night vision means footage taken after dark is actually useful. One of the most effective outdoor deterrents Ring makes. Requires existing outdoor wiring.

Ring Spotlight Cam
Best Outdoor Camera with Lights Video: 1080p  |  Power: Battery, Plug-in, Solar or Wired  |  Lights: LED spotlights  |  Siren: 110dB

Motion-activated spotlights, a camera and a siren — available in battery, plug-in, solar and wired versions. Unlike the Floodlight Cam it doesn’t need hardwiring, making it the more flexible choice for most outdoor locations. Set the motion zones properly and it’s a reliable, low-maintenance security camera.

Ring Outdoor Cam
Best Wire-Free Outdoor Video: 2K  |  Power: Battery  |  Wi-Fi: Dual-band  |  Solar: Compatible

Wire-free outdoor camera with 2K video — noticeably sharper than standard 1080p Ring cameras. No lights or siren, but as a clean, flexible outdoor monitoring camera the higher resolution justifies the price. Solar charger compatible for effectively maintenance-free power.

Ring Stick Up Cam
Most Versatile Video: 1080p  |  Power: Battery, Plug-in or Solar  |  Use: Indoor & Outdoor  |  Wi-Fi: Dual-band

Works indoors and outdoors, available in battery, plug-in and solar versions. The most flexible camera in Ring’s range — easy to move and reposition without tools. A good choice if you want one camera that can cover multiple spots around the home without committing to a fixed installation.

Best for Full-Room Coverage Video: 1080p  |  Power: Plug-in  |  Coverage: 360° Pan / 169° Tilt  |  Night: Colour

Ring’s first camera with a motorised base you steer from the app, panning a full 360° and tilting 169° to cover a whole room from one spot. 1080p HD with Colour Night Vision. It doesn’t auto-track, but for pet owners and larger rooms the app-controlled movement removes the blind spots a fixed camera leaves.
