What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires a Phillips-head screwdriver, a drill (if mounting on hard surfaces), and the included mounting bracket, battery, and screws. A Wi-Fi connection is also necessary for setup.
Is this camera compatible with Ring Pro?
Yes, the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus is compatible with the Ring Pro system. Both devices can be used together for enhanced security monitoring through the same app.
Does it require a subscription for recording?
A Ring Protect subscription (£4.99/month or £49.99/year for one device) is required for video history and cloud recording. Without a subscription, you still get live view, motion alerts, and two-way talk, but no saved recordings.
Does it use an SD card for storage?
No, this camera does not have SD card storage. Recordings are stored in the cloud with a Ring Protect subscription.
How does the motion-activated light work?
The LED spotlights activate automatically when motion is detected and typically stay on for 30 seconds. The brightness can be adjusted via the app, and the lights can also be manually activated remotely.
How long does the battery last per charge?
The rechargeable battery is designed to last 6 to 12 months on a single charge, depending on usage frequency, motion settings, and environmental factors like weather conditions.
Can it be disarmed when you're in the garden?
Yes, the camera can be temporarily disarmed or placed in a 'home' mode via the Ring app to prevent unnecessary alerts while you're using the garden.
