Video Description
In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro Gen 2, Ring’s most advanced outdoor security camera. I’m upgrading from an older Ring Spotlight Cam that has finally started to fail, and in this review I cover everything you need to know before buying. Buy a Ring Floodlight Pro Here (White) - UK - https://amzn.to/3O5Qv3U / USA - https://amzn.to/46fC7MG Buy a Ring Floodlight Pro Here (Black) - UK - https://amzn.to/4sY47hT / USA - https://amzn.to/4bioD6t I walk through the unboxing, explain the key specifications, and show a full UK hardwired installation. I then cover the Ring app setup in detail, including motion detection, privacy zones, Bird’s Eye View radar tracking, and Ring Protect subscription plans. You’ll also see real-world footage tests comparing the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro Gen 2 against an older Ring camera, including daytime and night-time performance, number plate readability, floodlight brightness, siren volume, and two-way talk quality. If you’re considering upgrading your home security or deciding whether the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro Gen 2 is worth the price, this video should help you make an informed decision.
