Ring unveils the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro, with radar-powered bird's-eye view

PCWorld

Just a couple of months after Ring unwrapped its new, radar-enabled aerial view for the Video Doorbell Pro 2, the Amazon-owned smart brand is now rolling out the clever technology to its updated wired floodlight. At the same time, Ring says it's bringing a color version of its pre-roll video feature to a fourth generation of its battery-powered video doorbell. Slated to ship on May 6 for $250 (you can preorder starting today), the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro will boast both Bird's-Eye View and 3D Motion Detection, a pair of features powered by radar rather than infrared motion sensors. Meanwhile, the Ring Video Doorbell 4 is set to arrive April 28 for $200, and it will add color to the pre-roll functionality that debuted on last year's Video Doorbell 3 Plus. An upgrade to 2019's well received Floodlight Cam, the revamped Floodlight Cam Wired Pro arrives with the same 1080p video resolution while adding HDR for a needed contrast boost, along with a 140-degree (horizontal) by 60-degree (vertical) field of view.


Ring Stick Up Cam Wired (2018) review: Ring finally has an indoor security camera

PCWorld

Ring's second-generation home security camera--the Ring Stick Up Cam Wired--can be deployed indoors or out (the first-gen model was strictly an outdoor camera). The company already makes some of our favorite outdoor cameras, and it has a promising new alarm system on the market. This camera is just as good. In TechHive's tests, we found its image quality to be among the best available, and its motion-sensing abilities are equal to or better than many competitors. A well-designed mount allows it to be aligned vertically on almost any surface, and the thoughtful addition of power over ethernet (PoE) support means you can easily install it in places with bad Wi-Fi and/or that are far from an electrical outlet.
