Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus
The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus easily connects to your current exterior wiring and offers round-the-clock protection with video surveillance and motion-activated LED floodlights. It works seamlessly with your other Alexa and Echo devices, and it's currently at its all-time low price.
It seems like video doorbells get all the love in the smart home security space, but there's another group of products that deserve to be recognized: floodlight cameras. These are motion-activated, exterior lights, with built-in security cameras, that help expose and thwart potential intruders. This Ring Floodlight Cam, for example, features two bright LED floodlights, a 105dB security siren, and two-way audio, and right now, it's back to its lowest price ever.
Why you should buy the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus
There are a few reasons you should consider buying the Ring Floodlight Cam instead of, or as a compliment to, a video doorbell. The first is that it's a better security camera. The Floodlight's camera is only 1080p, but because floodlights are much better positioned than doorbells, this allows you to see and capture a much larger area. The second reason is the 2000-lumen, motion-activated LED lights, which not only help eliminate dark areas on your property but can help dissuade would-be criminals from getting too close to your house or vehicle. Add in the 105dB siren, and you have real home security that used to be reserved for expensive, whole-home systems.
When the Floodlight senses motion, not only do the bright LED lights turn on, but you also get a notification on your smartphone. From there, you can check in with Live View to access the camera in real-time, and if you happen to see someone — friend or foe — you can talk to them using the two-way audio feature. This can actually be done using a variety of devices, including an Echo smart speaker, a Fire tablet, or a Fire TV. Just say, "Alexa, talk to the Floodlight." Or if the device you are using has a display, you can say, "Alexa, show me the front lawn," and it will instantly show you Live View.
There are a handful of features that require a monthly Ring Protect subscription plan, such as 180-day video history, and the ability to share videos and photos, but the good news is that the plans start at just $4 per month. You certainly don't need the added functionality to get your money's worth — especially at its current discount — but it's there if you want it. At any rate, we haven't seen the price this low since Black Friday, so grab a Ring Floodlight Cam (or several) while they are still on sale.
