If you’re contemplating enhancing your security setup with a more sophisticated camera than the basic options available, look no further than the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro. Currently offered at a price of $159.99 on Amazon, this camera, which typically retails for $229.99, has reached its most affordable price according to price tracking sources.

This offer is quite uncommon for a camera from the Ring Pro series, which usually maintains a high price point within Amazon’s security camera selections. Released in 2022, although the device’s 1080p resolution may not seem revolutionary, its features remain competitive.

This battery-operated camera facilitates a straightforward wireless installation. Its 140-degree wide angle and rapid motion detection alerts enhance usability, while two-way audio provides a remarkably clear communication experience, allowing conversations to take place even 40 feet away without delay or distortion. However, it’s worth mentioning that the spotlight feature has limitations, peaking at 375 lumens—suitable for basic visibility in smaller spaces but inadequate for expansive outdoor areas. Nonetheless, it boasts color night vision and an adjustable alarm, which contribute to enhanced security capabilities.

A Ring Home subscription is necessary for video recording and storage functions, starting at $4.99 per month for a single camera. However, live viewing and alert notifications are operational without a subscription. While this camera integrates seamlessly with Alexa and IFTTT, it lacks compatibility with Google Assistant and HomeKit. Battery longevity varies based on usage and lighting conditions, generally lasting between six months to a year, according to a review by PCMag.
