Ring is known for its reliable indoor and outdoor security cameras. The brand recently released its newest Outdoor Cam Plus (battery) security camera, featuring battery-powered operations, wide-angle videos, weather-resistant design, and more. We review the latest camera, and here are our thoughts about the device.
Ring’s latest Outdoor Camera Plus camera shares a similar design as its previous models. Ring offers the camera in both black and white color options, and as you can see, we got the white model for review. While the chassis of the device is white in color, the front side features a black section, where the camera lens and the speakers reside. The dimensions of the camera (including the stand) are 6.7 cm x 6.7 cm x 12.8 cm.
The camera can be set up with a table mount or a wall mount. The rear side of the camera is also white in color, and there is also the space for fitting the device on the wall with compatible mounts.
The new Ring Outdoor Camera Plus – Battery, as the name suggests, houses a removable battery, which can be easily removed from the bottom. The USB-C port is also located on the rear side but hidden very well. The camera can operate either on USB-C power, solar power, or battery. While the packaging includes a short orange-colored USB-C cable, we are glad to see that the USB-C slot of the camera easily fits other non-Ring USB-C cables.
Setting up the Ring camera with the Ring application is simple and straightforward. You can change different aspects of the device and also run firmware updates. The camera is capable of capturing 2K videos with Ring Vision, Ring’s image enhancement technique that helps to generate high-quality footage. The camera utilizes anti-reflective glass that is good while recording bright conditions and a sensor that is capable of recording color videos in low-light situations. Then there is the Clarity Engine that ensures the details of the video are preserved after all the video processing is done.
Other features include the two-way talk with LiveView that comes in handy when you want to interact with someone outside, Advanced Motion Detection capability, Remote-Activated Sirens, weather resistance, and more. Recorded videos will be stored for up to 180 days, where you can share them with others or replay them. The camera also has support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi 6 connectivity.
If you are looking for an affordable and reliable outdoor camera, the latest Ring Outdoor Cam Plus is a good choice to consider. The camera is easy to set up and install, and the device can operate on USB-C power, battery and solar power. The camera can be set up on a table mount or a wall mount. The camera features a speaker on the front where users can communicate with people outside.
The sensor of the camera is capable of 2K video recording, and the device can capture color-based footage during low-light situations. Ring has also included image enhancements that bring out the best of the video clarity. The device is also weather-resistant to handle extreme seasons, and users will be able to customize different aspects of the camera through the Ring application.
