I recently had the opportunity to try out the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, and I have to say, I was impressed with its features.
The install was fairly easy, and the video quality is very good. The motion detection is sensitive and can be adjusted to your liking. The lights are bright and can be dimmed to your preference. I like that it has a built-in siren that can be remotely activated through the Ring app. It’s also helpful that you can customize motion zones and get motion-activated notifications on your phone. However, I did experience some issues with the device losing connection to the network, but a hard reset fixed it.
