Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Ring Protect plan?

Ring says a compatible Protect plan is needed to rewatch moments you missed, unlock intelligent recognition and get emergency monitoring. 24/7 continuous recording is also listed as a subscription feature.

Is the Spotlight Cam 4K Pro battery powered?

The second-generation model on Ring's product page is plug-in or hardwired. It ships with a USB-C 17.8 ft 20W outdoor adapter, and Ring also sells a hardwired kit and a PoE+ converter mount.

What is 3D Motion Detection?

It is radar-powered motion detection that lets you fine-tune motion zones around your property, so Ring can send more precise alerts instead of every passing movement.

How bright are the spotlights?

600 lumens at 3000 Kelvin warm white, which Ring says gives focused coverage when motion is detected.
