The Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen) is Ring's most advanced wired outdoor floodlight camera, featuring Retinal 2K video (2624 x 1472), radar-based 3D Motion Detection with Bird's Eye View, Color Pre-Roll, and Enhanced Two-Way Talk with Audio+. Its two high-output LED floodlights deliver 2000 lumens of combined illumination, flooding large outdoor areas with light on motion detection. IP65 weather resistance exceeds the Spotlight Cam's IP55 rating for enhanced protection against rain and dust. Dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and a 110 dB built-in siren complete the feature set. The camera hardwires to a standard junction box for permanent, maintenance-free installation.
How does the Floodlight Cam Pro compare to the Floodlight Cam Plus?
The Pro adds radar-based 3D Motion Detection with Bird's Eye View (aerial path mapping), Retinal 2K video resolution (2624 x 1472 vs. 1080p HD+), Color Pre-Roll (color footage captured before the motion trigger), and Enhanced Two-Way Talk with Audio+ noise cancellation. Both have 2000-lumen floodlights, Color Night Vision, a 110 dB siren, and IP65 weather resistance. The Pro also has dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi while the Plus uses 2.4 GHz only. The Pro costs approximately $50 more and is worth it if precise motion mapping and higher video clarity are important.
What does Bird's Eye View offer for a floodlight camera that covers a large area?
A floodlight camera's wide coverage area is exactly where Bird's Eye View adds the most value. Rather than watching a 2D video clip and guessing which direction someone came from, Bird's Eye View renders the intruder's path on an overhead map of your property. You can see whether someone approached from the street, crossed the lawn, or came around the side of the house — critical context for understanding a security event on a large outdoor area.
Can the Floodlight Cam Pro replace an existing outdoor floodlight?
Yes. If you have an existing hardwired outdoor floodlight or security light mounted to a junction box, the Floodlight Cam Pro installs in the same location using the same wiring. The mounting bracket is designed to align with standard outdoor junction box dimensions. The process is essentially the same as replacing any hardwired outdoor light fixture.
Does the IP65 rating mean it is fully waterproof?
IP65 means the camera is dust-tight (complete protection against dust ingress) and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction — it will handle rain, sprinklers, and hosing down without damage. It is not rated for submersion. IP65 is a step above the IP55 rating on Ring's Spotlight Cam (which tolerates water jets from any direction but with limited protection against dust). Both ratings are adequate for typical outdoor residential use.
Does the Floodlight Cam Pro support 24/7 recording?
With a Ring Protect subscription, the Floodlight Cam Pro (Wired) supports Continuous Video Recording (CVR), storing footage around the clock rather than only on motion events. CVR is available on wired cameras with a Protect Plan and adequate upload bandwidth. Without a subscription, the camera records only on motion triggers.
