The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus Solar — formerly the Stick Up Cam Pro Solar — combines the Retinal 2K video quality and wide 140° field of view of the Outdoor Cam Plus line with a bundled solar panel for continuous charging without outlet access. The solar panel uses a USB-C connection to trickle-charge the included Quick-Release Battery Pack, keeping the camera topped up in adequate direct sunlight. Low-Light Sight produces full-color video in near-total darkness, while Color Pre-Roll captures color footage before motion events trigger. Advanced Motion Detection, Two-Way Talk with noise cancellation, a built-in siren, and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 are included. IP55 weather-resistant. In locations with 3–4 hours of daily direct sunlight, the solar panel maintains battery charge indefinitely. A Ring Protect subscription is required for video history; Live View is always free.
Is the Outdoor Cam Plus Solar compatible with existing Stick Up Cam mounts and solar panels?
No. Ring specifically states that the Outdoor Cam Plus is not compatible with mounts or accessories designed for the original Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam). It also uses a USB-C solar connector. If you own an older barrel-plug solar panel, Ring sells a Barrel Plug to USB-C Adapter to bridge the connection. Always verify accessory compatibility before purchasing add-ons.
How much sunlight is required to keep the battery charged indefinitely?
Approximately 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day is typically sufficient to keep the battery topped up under normal usage. The Quick-Release Battery Pack stores enough charge to power the camera through nighttime hours and brief cloudy periods. In regions with limited sun exposure, the battery may gradually drain over weeks — in that case, the plug-in version or periodic manual charging of the battery pack is recommended.
What is the difference between Outdoor Cam Plus Solar and the entry Outdoor Cam Solar?
The Outdoor Cam Plus Solar uses Retinal 2K video (vs. 1080p HD on the entry model), a wider 140° horizontal by 80° vertical field of view (vs. 110° x 57°), Low-Light Sight for true-color near-dark footage, Color Pre-Roll for color footage before motion triggers, and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (vs. single-band Wi-Fi 4). Both are IP55 rated and come with a solar panel bundled. The Plus is the better choice for larger coverage areas, higher-detail video, or locations where Wi-Fi 5 GHz is preferred.
Does the solar-powered version support 24/7 Continuous Recording?
No. 24/7 Continuous Recording is only available on plug-in powered Ring cameras because it requires an uninterrupted power supply. Solar models record on motion events (and Live View sessions on demand). If you need continuous recording, the Outdoor Cam Plus Plug-In is the appropriate choice.
Does this camera have a built-in spotlight?
No. The Outdoor Cam Plus Solar does not have built-in spotlights. If illumination is needed, the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus Solar includes built-in spotlights on the same camera platform. Alternatively, Ring Smart Lighting accessories can be placed nearby and triggered by the same motion events that activate the Outdoor Cam Plus.
