Ring Floodlight Cam Pro VS Wired Plus - Comparing Ring's Floodlight Cameras - Which ONE is WORTH IT?

[@LifeHackster]

I just realized I made a little mistake in a part of this video..let me see who can find it first...sorry, I thought I turned it OFF :)

[@sivelry]

WiFi was on. Awesome review though.

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, you are right…I didn’t realize it until the video was already uploaded…

[@nighthawkvc25a]

So, the tests beyond the 9:39 mark in the review are essentially void?

[@LifeHackster]

@@nighthawkvc25a - Not really, I’ve tested these a lot of times and there is really not much of a difference…and watch my original reviews of each camera and you will see the one with LTE connection.

[@SlLENTSAMURI]

You need to consider all of the other cameras night vision almost all of the other cameras can see other night vision from other cameras BTW

[@pebbles123]

I can honestly say, your thorough testing and comments are extremely helpful. They are the best KZbin reviews I have ever seen to date. Thank you.

[@MrOhman86]

This was a really concise, detailed and well organized video. Thank you so much for the time and effort and showing the differences. Definitely going with the Plus

[@LifeHackster]

@MrOhman86...Thanks for watching!

[@Samara.Weaving]

Why Plus and not Pro?

[@mantat2433]

With midyear sales going on right now, your video was made very comprehensively, and with systematic effort! Thank you for doing that and for sharing your findings. I agree that there really isnt much difference between the Plus to the Pro, and what difference there is, is mostly software based. Thanks again! Salamat!

[@Rachelizabeth]

The commitment and effort put into testing is admirable, well done!

[@Computerfly]

This is an absolutely fantastic job. Plus is on sale, but I thought I might want the pro. Looks like the plus is just as good, and audio actually sounds better to me.

[@cohall46]

Very detailed and very helpful review of these 2 cams. You gave me all of the information that I was seeking. Thanks for sharing.

[@RichieColemanSr]

I still have my original Floodlight wired, and it still works just fine, 4 years later thanks to your review 😊

[@michaelcharach]

Mine is 7 years old and is starting to fail . It flashes when it gets cold.

[@crimsundynamo]

First and foremost thank you for the reviews. I literally bought 2 sets of both cameras with both being on sale but, really can't decide. Haven't opened either. Being a tech person see always wanting the latest in tech. It just feels like the pro model is stop gap and the plus is spare parts from previous generation or refurbs.....lol

[@geminibull888]

Thanks for the video and thorough review. I ordered the PLUS based on this content with the Echo Show 5. I also love and ordered the WAGO connectors which I never knew existed LOL.

[@LifeHackster]

Cool... Thanks.

[@learnrhel8291]

I love the WAGO nut connectors; they are amazing! Also, thanks for doing a fantastic comparison. It was very professional, technical and objective. I was leaning towards the Plus model to begin with your videos sealed the deal for me!

[@danmyers9372]

@@toneman8478 - Not worth the big price difference IMO.

[@OK-ej7fc]

Thanks for this comparison! I am looking at both cameras and just couldn’t see much of a difference by comparing the specs! Your comparison is just what I needed!

[@LifeDIY]

Thank you so much for all the time and testing you've put into these videos. I've been binge-watching them, trying to figure out which floodlight cam to buy. I am tempted to buy one Eufy and the Ring Floodlight Plus.

[@jamesgreally7724]

This is a really fantastic review - Confidently making my mind up after watching (I'll be getting the Plus). Thanks!

[@cggalan3914]

Thank you for review. I wasn't sure about trying to convince hubby in investing in extra cost. He was so relieved when I said not much difference to justify cost.

[@LifeHackster]

You are so welcome!

[@richsoto]

just purchased the Plus today instead of the Pro because of your video. thanks again. keep up the good work!

[@LifeHackster]

Cool. Thank you.

[@JimHytken]

Excellent comparison of both cameras. Best I have seen.

[@LifeHackster]

@JimHytken...Thanks for watching!

[@eper1586]

Thank you for all the video reviews you do. I appreciate you and keep up the outstanding work you do!

[@davidsadowski125]

One point to go with pro V’s plus is my mesh network is mainly 5.4ghz. So using the older wi-fi is more of a hassle for me to set up an older network or buying more ring chimes to keep them connected.

[@davelowets]

Why not have a system that supports both 2.4 AND 5.0 ghz? Yes, 2.4ghz is slower, but it's PLENTY fast enough for security cameras, and it reaches much further than 5ghz does. 2.4ghz penetrates walls and objects better that 5ghz also.

[@RGC217]

What a video! Wow! this guy took some time to make this for us. I am going to like, comment and subscribe to show my thanks. Thanks a lot bro! Well done!

[@Network-Bob]

Solid Review. Helped me make a decision, going with the plus. Also - big props to your grass dude, at first I thought it was fake it was so perfect. You must live in Houston area, only way you can get enough water to keep it that nice.

[@singlendhot8628]

Finally! Been waiting for this review for weeks!

[@LifeHackster]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@parjau4554]

Thanks for the comprehensive video. I got the Plus because the picture is brighter than the Pro and especially with night vision where you can see things at a distance that are too dark to see with the Pro. Colour rendering is better on the Pro but that is not too important for a security camera. The audio is also better on the Pro but since I have a Pro 2 Doorbell, that is not a problem in my use case.

[@blackwater2192]

You deserve far more likes than you received. Fantastic comparison between the two. I can't stand the video quality on my first gen floodlight. It's terrible that I can barely make out vehicle models at 25ft. Looking to upgrade.

[@PerfectionLighting]

Thank for all the details you explained. It couldn’t be any better 👌👌👌

[@WestPhillyNative215]

Informative video! Thanks for sharing. I still have two of the original floodlights wired cams, and they are still going strong since 2017!

[@LifeHackster]

Cool..

[@MrJason2143]

Great review. I love the attention to detail when comparing. Liked and subscribed!

[@watchingdanny]

Wired Plus wins in my book. Great side by side comparisons and video. Excellent work. Thank you for making this video.

[@lvdvc]

Maraming salamat, Po… I’ll go get another Plus to add to my 2 existing Pluses. The price of the Pro turns me off. 🇵🇭🇺🇸✌🏼👍☝️🤛

[@veganislife650]

Wow! This was a phenomenal comparison video! Thank you!

[@devinparry1152]

Thanks for the video! I was really hoping that 3D motion was correcting the following but maybe it is not. Normally motion is detected as objects move side to side across the field of view (x axis) and generally struggle with detection for objects moving in a straight line to or from the detector (y axis) . 3D motion is intended to remedy this by having better detection in the y axis of movement. This is one of the main reasons that I would upgrade and was hoping to see it in action here. Thanks again!

[@LifeHackster]

The issue that you are talking about is for PIR based motion systems (battery powered cameras) but the 3D radar detection is only available on their pro 2 doorbell and the pro floodlight cam which uses camera based or pixel based detection and uses their AI or algorithm in detection motion. This doesn’t suffer from the issue that you are pointing out.

[@devinparry1152]

That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying. I will now be subscribing. 😉

[@islandGG]

Salazar po duude!

[@miaoyu205]

Thank you so much for the great review. Still valuable in 2024!🎉❤

[@GeneralTomFoolery1]

Also I love how you don't actually say Alexa in the demo, but have it typed out. I can't tell you how many reviews I've watched where people say her name and then set mine off. Heck, even Amazon's commercials do it. Thank you for being smarter than them.

[@mrkinla]

Thank you, LifeHackster. I really appreciate the thoroughness and time you put into the videos. I need to make a decision and you've definitely helped me.

[@cantdriveslo]

Always an excellent review. Thank you!

Excellent video! Very detailed and informative. Looks like I will be going with the plus.

tests seemed really well thought through. Thanks!

[@adame5238]

Well done reviews. This comparison helped with my decision. Thank you .

[@pambrown6958]

Also stuck with the Plus since I already know they work just fine. Maybe I will wait it out for the next-level Pro offering in the future. But for now there is too much price difference. Appreciate your video

[@SerenaRoseee]

Buying the plus now. Thanks for this video!

[@Mimi-s7j]

Most thorough videos on ring devices that I havecseen.

Thanks for this review. With the black Friday offers there is 21% off the pro and 28% off the plus...so getting the pro at the full price of the plus...I think I will get the pro

I’m sticking with my first gen ring flood light cameras. Ring needs to add pan and scan to the next version and 4K.

[@clisaa6974]

^At the end they are pretty similar would u say? Which would u pick? I was going to buy it from Costco cause u can return it in 3 months if it sucks.... but also i don't want to waste a electrician visit.

[@victorvek5227]

1 year later, still imagining, “what if Ring would drop a 2K / 4K floodlight camera!” 😢

[@mattp9932]

You did a nice job with this. Ty. Hard to decide which to get. I like the better color of the pro but the plus has better motion sensing with the light which still matters

[@davelowets]

Keep in mind that in the Pro, the motion sensing is heavily software based, and will probably be refined in the future making it better. Ring is very good about updating their products firmware. The older camera is P.I.R. based for motion sensing, and what you get is what you get. It can't be changed or refined by an update.

[@garybknightjr]

So in depth, wonderful!

[@michelegreene3586]

Great comparison! Thank you for your video.

[@MrKB209]

Awesome review. Watching this video you helped me with my decision and I will purchase today. Salamat po!

[@pete3882]

Great video. Black Friday so I went with the pro. Hopefully they will ad some software updates to add to pro performance.

[@chrisavalos6319]

the plus lights looked like it had a wider throw and the night was better on the left side where the pro was dark. plus even activated the light at 40 ft. other then the vibrant color of the pro i think the plus is better even had 2 db on the siren

[@S2KV]

I returned my Ring Floodlight Pro, the light output was falsely advertised. It doesn't brightened up my driveway like my old Ring Floodlight which I now have reinstalled.

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, it is dimmer than the original floodlight cam.

[@Irish_Mike_NYC]

That’s why I’m putting this one by my back door so we’re not blinded by the bright lights from our original ring floodlight & im putting the original one over the driveway

[@leonardjoseph7276]

This review answered a lot of questions! well done. Can I turn on the floodlights without accessing the App or interfering with the operation of the camera? Many Wifi lights require one to turn off and on the physical switch a couple of times to enable the lights. Also after power failure, what are the defaults for the lights on or off or configurable?

[@gg_kawaii3560]

Best review ever . Thanks

[@glenngaines9142]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@kevinsomsamouth8348]

Good video…. in your opinion is the flood light pro worth getting was shopping for a few cameras. If not what would be the best option out?

[@isaacc4609]

Thanks for the honest review!

[@RZelayandia]

Great work, I have and old flood lights to light up my yard at night. I have to flip the on\off switch a couple of times in order for them to stay on. I was hoping that this lights could be an up upgrade for security and not having to come in to the house to manually turn them on but I still don’t know if they can handle that basic function since it’s not mentioned on the packaging or the review videos I’ve come across.

LH, thank you for this comparison video. I was leaning toward the Ring Floodlight cam plus, but I wanted to see what the Ring Floodlight Pro offered. I find the video quality and lighting to be much better on the Floodlight cam Plus. I will purchase the plus today from our local Home Depot. Thanks again for your hard work.

[@chriss8206]

Should have did the license plate test in the dark with the security lights on I'd be curious to see which one is better in the dark showing the license plate that's important But good video none the less

[@toddsievers277]

Just saw this video. Great to see the differences and now only $20 difference between pro and plus now.

[@TonyStark-sj3kl]

So, great vid! Wago 221's are the best connectors? No issues so far? Any tips or advice regarding the connectors?

[@johnwright587]

Thank you very much. Perfect video for helping me make my choice. Both are discounted for Black Friday (tomorrow). $140 for Plus, $200 for Pro at Home Depot. I am going to replace a motion sensor floodlight with the Pro. Big reason is the 5G wifi that I use and the Pro is a little better in many ways. Again, much appreciated.

Thank you new home owner and this video helped me decide to go with the plus as I saw no major difference other than the color. Saves me alot. Thank you. Also what modem did you use to have Alexa pull up the video footage.

[@fawkyooo7377]

Also something to note is "Wired" means it is wired because of the lights not for network connection. IMO I wish there was a way to wire the connection because I turn off WiFi at night.
