Ring has announced its first outdoor security camera that supports 2K video at launch. Ring’s outdoor cameras previously only supported 1080p video, but earlier this year, the Amazon-owned company released software updates upgrading its Floodlight Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Pro with 2K capabilities. The new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus works in 2K video right out of the box and adds improved Wi-Fi and low-light capabilities.
The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus is now available for preorder through Ring’s website and Amazon for $99.99 and is expected to ship on March 26th, 2025. Core features include real-time alerts when motion is detected, live streaming from the camera, and two-way talk capabilities. More advanced features, such as recording and saving motion events and package detection, require subscriptions that start at $4.99 per month, or $49.99 per year, for Ring Home Basic.
The new Outdoor Cam Plus is an upgrade to Ring’s existing Stick Up Cam. It can also be powered by a battery, a solar panel accessory, or be plugged in with an upgrade to a USB-C port. Dual-band Wi-Fi is now supported, and an easy-to-install mount is included, with expanded functionality allowing it to be attached to ceilings.
The camera is weather-resistant so it can be used indoors or out. It also features an expanded field of view and Ring’s Low-Light Sight technology that relies on “advanced image processing techniques to show a clear, colorful view even in near dark conditions,” according to a press release from the company.
