Ring’s new Floodlight camera borrowed from its best doorbell

Ring has announced a new flood with an integrated camera called Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. As its name suggests, the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro Several features have been borrowed from the recently released video Doorbell Pro 2, including 3D motion detection with radar and a top-down view of one’s movements in front of the camera, which the company calls Bird’s Eye View. The Floodlight Cam Wired Pro, which I will refer to as the Floodlight Pro from the outside, is available for prepaid in white or black, from today, April 7, for $ 249.99, with shipments starting May 6, 2021. is also. to keep Original floodlight cam In the lineup priced at a new $ 199.99.

Like the first Floodlight cams, the Floodlight Pro is a motion-activated, 2,000-lumen LED Floodlight with a camera between two artistic lights. It has a 110dB siren, supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, records 1080p HDR video with color night vision, and has improved microphones and a speaker for better two-way audio communication . The new 3D motion detection uses radar sensors to track movements across a certain range that you define in the Ring’s app, which is then presented as an aerial map to the recorded video clip. Floodlight Pro is hardwired and can be mounted on a standard round outdoor junction box. Given its name, I would not be surprised if the wireless version of the ring works, but the company is not disclosing anything on this front right now.

In addition, Ring is announcing new $ 199.99 Video Doorbell 4, Which is the latest in the mainstream of video doorbells that can be used in a standard wired installation or turn off the battery. The new model upgrades the black and white pre-roll video, which debuted in full color from last year’s video Doorbell 3, allowing you to see four seconds of motion before the doorbell rings. It also has a new quick reply feature, with the help of which you can automatically respond to visitors when you come home, otherwise you do not want to be disturbed. You can use Doorbell 4 with either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network.

Video Doorbell 4 records 1080p video, but lacks a square aspect ratio, which I found very useful in my review of the Video Widebell Pro 2, rather than sticking with a traditional Wide 16: 9 view. The 4 does not have the more advanced Alexa integration of the Pro 2 to answer the door – however, based on my testing, I don’t think you’ll miss much there.

Ring says the Video Doorbell 3 and Video Doorbell 3 Plus will be available, although I’m not sure when you are out that you will buy them and the cost is either the same or less. The video Doorbell 4 is available for preorder starting today and beginning on April 28.
