Ring Floodlight Cam Pro VS Wired Plus - Comparing Ring's Floodlight Cameras - Which ONE is WORTH IT?
Today, we are going to compare the new Ring Floodlight Cameras. We have the Floodlight Cam Wired PRO which is their top of the line model and has all the features and they also have the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus which is their updated version of their older Floodlight Cam which hasn't really changed in design since they released it 4 years ago. So, we will compare the video and audio quality and also check out what the Floodlight Cam Pro has to offer that makes it $70 dollars more expensive than the Wired Plus.
I have individual reviews of these floodlight cameras which I talk more in detail about their specs and features:

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 :)
WiFi was on. Awesome review though.
Yes, you are right…I didn’t realize it until the video was already uploaded…
So, the tests beyond the 9:39 mark in the review are essentially void?
@@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.
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
I can honestly say, your thorough testing and comments are extremely helpful. They are the best KZhead reviews I have ever seen to date. Thank you.
Very detailed and very helpful review of these 2 cams. You gave me all of the information that I was seeking. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all the video reviews you do. I appreciate you and keep up the outstanding work you do!
Thank you for the review! Really informative and great real life examples from the samples!
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!
This is a really fantastic review - Confidently making my mind up after watching (I'll be getting the Plus). Thanks!
Great review, informative and detailed. exact vid I needed to make a purchase. Thank you!
This video is so perfect for what I needed. Thanks for the effort!
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.
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.
You are so welcome!
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.
Wow! This was a phenomenal comparison video! Thank you!
tests seemed really well thought through. Thanks!
I still have my original Floodlight wired, and it still works just fine, 4 years later thanks to your review 😊
Always an excellent review. Thank you!
Great review. I love the attention to detail when comparing. Liked and subscribed!
I appreciate these tests. Thank you!
Well done reviews. This comparison helped with my decision. Thank you .
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!
@@toneman8478 - Not worth the big price difference IMO.
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
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!
Excellent video! Very detailed and informative. Looks like I will be going with the plus.
Thank you so much for the great review. Still valuable in 2024!🎉❤
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
@MrOhman86...Thanks for watching!
Why Plus and not Pro?
Excellent video, I am new to this as we are a purchasing a home in a new area. I want to put up atleast 3 Cameras. Your comparison was great and very thorough. Thank you!
Thanks! You did a really good job comparing these two. Thanks! I appreciate it. Good job
I like how u test the notification, that was a good idea 👍🏽 great job.
Thank you. This was an excellent comparison video and am able to easily make my decision for purchase.
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.
Cool... Thanks.
Awesome video, just what I needed. Plus it is! Thank you sir
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.
Awesome review got to make my buying my decision of from this video. Subscribed just to show my support. Very thorough
Thanks for this in depth review!
Great video. Black Friday so I went with the pro. Hopefully they will ad some software updates to add to pro performance.
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.
Excellent review. Huge help. Thank you!
Thank you for this excellent review!
Great comparison! Thank you for your video.
Informative video! Thanks for sharing. I still have two of the original floodlights wired cams, and they are still going strong since 2017!
Cool..
Top great content so better than others I watched 👍🏼
Very thorough and well put together video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much. Excellent review!
Thank you for this video. I have the plus in my old house. Was wondering what I wanted to know what to go with.
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!
Amazing review!! Thank you so much!!!!
Finally! Been waiting for this review for weeks!
Hope you enjoyed it!
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.
So in depth, wonderful!
These videos are great. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the honest review!
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.
Very well put together 👍
Thank you so much for this video!! You made my decision easy, and cheaper!
Salamat Pare!! this helped me decide between plus and pro. I was leaning toward pro before seeing your vid.
Great comparison test! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love your videos!
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?
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.
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
Excellent comparison of both cameras. Best I have seen.
@JimHytken...Thanks for watching!
Nice comparison, I'm went with the Plus, got it for $110.00 less than the Pro (black Friday (30% off) plus an extra 10% off for having a Ring subscription ($126.00 plus tax total). It seems Ring rarely puts their top models on sale eg doorbell pro2 or the floodlight Cam Pro. Aside from the better color reproduction and a little better sound quality, I don't think its worth the premium price. I am also going to use the Wago 221 lever nuts over the regular wire nuts.
Awesome editing!!
Thanks for this video. Now I know which camera to get.
Great comparison video.
Thank you, this review had all the information that I needed. Great work!
So helpful. Answered so many question I had and hadn’t thought about. Thank you very much.
Great Great review…..was considering the pro for a minute but will just go for the plus and save some money
Thank you, that was very helpful.
You put a lot of work into making these videos. Thanks!
Nice video, very helpful, thanks👍
Just saw this video. Great to see the differences and now only $20 difference between pro and plus now.
Solid analysis. Thanks.
Thanks for the comprehensive video. Just wondering about avoiding false alerts. I would like to know when a car enters my driveway but not a cat or a dog? You said you have to leave person only Off to get vehicle alerts.. but does that mean you are also getting pet/animal alerts too? Thanks.
Nice comparison. Thank you.
Epic review!!
Awesome review. Watching this video you helped me with my decision and I will purchase today. Salamat po!
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.
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.
Thank you for a proper review.
Awesome video very detailed !
Great comparison video! I am curious if the Pro is better than the plus in terms of setting the area for motion detection? I have a fairly short set back from our home to the street- about 15’- and want to be alerted when anyone is in my driveway but not when a car drives by. It looked like Ring is marketing an ability to select a window to define an area for motion in the app, is this also available on the Plus? Also- does it work well for my purposes? I appreciate anyones experience and opinion.
Thanks for the comprehensive review, very useful. Helped me with my purchase.
Great video! Very helpful!
Thanks.
Excellent review!
@davonc...Thanks for watching!
Thank you for going to the personal bother of uploading this detailed video, its appreciated.
Very awesome Presentation of both units. Just what I needed..thank you so much! I ended up buying the plus I think the pro is just not worth the extra hundred..ps.. what is that little screen you’re watching everything on?not phone..lol. Thanks again!
Excellent videos. You're a hero sir.
just purchased the Plus today instead of the Pro because of your video. thanks again. keep up the good work!
Cool. Thank you.
So, great vid! Wago 221's are the best connectors? No issues so far? Any tips or advice regarding the connectors?
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks. Great video. Do you know if the flood lights have a standby mode. Where it is on a low power when no motion is detected?
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
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.
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!
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.
That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying. I will now be subscribing. 😉
Salazar po duude!
Great video! Thanks so much!
Maraming salamat pre...great review. We're setting up our cameras to complete our Ring alarm. Are you in TX? Dito sa TX.
Excellent video!
Thank you. I will purchase the Plus.
Great video, what is the delay time when watching live? I have some Arlo cameras that when I watch live there is anywhere from a 3 to 10 second delay. Can these cameras be used for real-time surveillance?
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.
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.
