Ring’s Spotlight Cam makes it easy to keep watch, day or night

Forget about a complicated hardwired setup -- Ring's plug-in Spotlight Cam connects to wall outlets.

Ring's $199 Spotlight Cam (£199/AU$329) installs in minutes and its integrated LEDs provide reliable security lighting for your yard.

You have to pay for Ring's Protect cloud storage service to access saved video clips.

The Ring Spotlight Cam's easy setup and solid performance make it a favorite among today's outdoor cameras with built-in lights.

Ring Spotlight Cam review: Intruders can't hide in darkness with these cameras on watch

This combo spotlight and security camera protects the most vulnerable areas outside your home after sundown.

Spotlights activate when motion is detected ; Customizable motion zones ; Does not require wiring to indoor outlet ; All the same features as the excellent AC-powered model ; Solar panel included in the package ; Extends the range of your Wi-Fi network...

Lack of local storage means video won't record if you lose your internet connection ; Lack of local storage means video won't record if you lose your internet connection ; It's an 802.11n device that operates only on the 2.4GHz frequency band

Whether you opt for one of the wired or battery-powered Ring Spotlight Cams, you’ll get an impressive camera that effectively fills a necessary niche: providing security for yards, carports, and other spots around the perimeter of homes that become...

Ring Spotlight Cam Wired review: Outdoor cam with an unfair subscription

Ring Spotlight Cam review: Battery-powered security

A motion-detection security camera that offers illumination. Pay a subscription and access recordings too. Is it the simplest home security solution?

Easy to install ; Two battery bays - lasts for potentially months ; Integrates with Amazon Alexa ; Flexible features

No lock on the battery compartment ; Subscription needed for video storage ; No high dynamic range (HDR)

A great camera that's easy to use, combining lighting and video capture into one package. But there's no lock on the battery compartment and you really need to pay for a subscription to get the most out of it.
