The Ring Floodlight Cam Pro (new generation) stands as the brand’s most powerful and versatile camera for monitoring large outdoor areas. Designed both for deterrence and detection, it combines a 4K Retinal resolution, 10x zoom, 2,000-lumen LED floodlights, and high-precision 3D radar motion detection. It is clearly aimed at users who want active security, exceptional image quality, and full control through the Ring app.

Sommaire

Exceptional visual clarity with Retinal 4K

Ring’s Retinal 4K technology delivers breathtaking image quality. Details remain sharp even when zooming in on a license plate or a distant face. This image fidelity is paired with intelligent color management, ensuring excellent visibility even in low-light environments.
The 10x zoom is smooth and precise, making this camera ideal for covering wide areas without losing clarity.

Powerful floodlights and active deterrence

One of the major strengths of the Floodlight Cam Pro lies in its ultra-bright LED floodlights, adjustable from 200 to 2,000 lumens.
When motion is detected, the camera automatically triggers a powerful light burst, sufficient to illuminate a large driveway or an entire garden.
This brightness plays a key role in deterring nighttime intrusions. Combined with the built-in 85 dB siren, it turns the camera into a true stand-alone security system.

3D motion detection and intelligent alerts

Thanks to 3D radar detection, the Floodlight Pro can identify depth and distance of moving objects. This system drastically reduces false alerts caused by wind, insects, or nearby passing vehicles.
Users can define precise motion zones via the Ring app—such as a driveway or gate—while ignoring adjacent public areas.
Alerts are accurate, relevant, and instantaneous.

Audio+ two-way sound and intuitive app

Equipped with Audio+, the camera offers clear and powerful two-way communication.
You can speak directly to a visitor, guide a delivery person, or warn an unfamiliar individual from your smartphone with minimal latency.
Integration with Alexa and the Ring app enhances ease of use, providing access to live video, real-time notifications, and floodlight brightness settings.

Robust design and wired installation

The Floodlight Cam Pro operates on wired power, ensuring continuous energy supply—perfect for 24/7 surveillance.
Its solid construction and weatherproofing allow it to withstand rain, cold, and heat.
Ring offers guided installation through the app, though users unfamiliar with electrical wiring may prefer to call a professional.

Smart Detection and Alerts

Smart detection distinguishes real threats from simple motion caused by objects or pets.
When suspicious activity is detected, the camera can trigger its spotlight and siren to deter intruders, while sending a real-time notification to your smartphone via push or email.

Storage and Remote Access

Recordings can be stored locally on a microSD card (up to 512 GB) or in the Reolink Cloud for continuous and secure history.
