Summary
The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro is known for its 1080 HD video, 3D motion detection, and versatile design. However, there is no local storage option, so you will have to pay for a Ring subscription if you want to save videos. The camera light is also not bright enough for many situations when shooting at night.

Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Review
Ring’s Spotlight Cam Pro is one of the company’s premium outdoor security cameras. It features 3D motion detection, which helps reduce false alerts. Combined with a 375-lumen spotlight and 1080p camera — and multiple power options for the device — the Spotlight Cam Pro is best suited for dark areas where floodlights would be overkill.
We installed the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro on our porch and used it for two weeks. Here’s our review of the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro:
Price
The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro comes in four configurations:
- Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Battery ($229)
- Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Plug-in ($229)
- Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Solar ($249)
- Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Wired ($249)
All three models have a battery compartment as well as a USB-C port on the back, so you can plug it into an external power source; the Solar model also comes with a solar panel, so you won’t have to replace the battery as often if you use it. The Battery and Plug-in models can also plug into a solar panel. Ring sells a large panel for $59 and a small panel for $39. The Wired model is different from the others in the group. It needs to be hardwired into an external power source and doesn’t come with a battery backup.

Features
Ring Spotlight Cam Pro helps monitor and protect your outdoor space, you can track and interact with people approaching the camera installation area through the following features:
Video 1080p HDR
The Spotlight Cam Pro shoots 1080p HDR video with a 140-degree horizontal x 80-degree vertical field of view. That’s wider than the Nest Cam (battery), which has a 130-degree diagonal field of view. We mounted the Spotlight Cam Pro just under our side porch, about 15 feet off the ground, which gave us the perfect angle to see the whole scene.
One plus point for the Spotlight Pro’s camera functionality that we found. If you’re concerned about privacy when your camera is pointed at your neighbor’s yard, Ring has a feature in the app called Privacy Zones that lets you darken an area that the camera can see so it can’t be tracked or recorded. This is different from Activity Zones, which tell the camera where to watch for motion or activity, but it can still record everything. The downside to using a privacy zone is that it affects the ability to detect motion because the camera can’t actually see the darkened area.
3D Motion Detection
Two-Way Talk with Audio+
We appreciate the two-way talk feature of the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro. We tested the conversation through the Ring app on our mobile phone and tablet, and the sound quality was clear and echo-free. In addition to talking directly, you can also activate the siren, which will strongly impact anyone near the camera with a loud sound. This is one of the features that can help you increase your security and prevent the worst from happening.
Storage
Final Thoughts
The Spotlight Cam Pro is a smart camera that’s effective at monitoring outdoor spaces. The spotlights aren’t very bright up high, but at close range, they’re good enough to illuminate an area. The video and image quality is excellent, and combined with advanced motion detection, the Spotlight Cam Pro is a great choice for anyone looking for a high-end home security camera. However, the Ring Spotlight doesn’t have local storage, and you have to pay an additional fee for the Ring Protect service to get the full feature.
