Ring Outdoor Cam Plus offers better resolution and features

Ring has released a new outdoor security camera called the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus. It offers better video quality compared to the older Ring Outdoor Cam. Both cameras have similar pricing and features, but there are key differences. The Ring Outdoor Cam is priced at $80 and the Outdoor Cam Plus costs $100. Both cameras need a Ring Home subscription, which is $5 a month or $50 a year, to access all their features. Without the subscription, users will only have basic functionality. In terms of design, both cameras look similar. However, the Outdoor Cam Plus has a more modern appearance up close. It can be installed easily, either as a battery-powered model or a wired one, which eliminates the need for battery changes. The Outdoor Cam Plus offers a significant upgrade in video resolution, capturing 2K footage compared to the 1080p of the standard model. Its night vision technology also performs better, providing clearer images in low light. The older model's night vision is adequate, but not as impressive. Both cameras include features like two-way audio and customizable motion detection alerts. The Outdoor Cam Plus has an added advantage with its advanced Pre-Roll feature, allowing it to capture extra seconds of footage when detecting motion. Overall, the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus is worth considering, especially for just $20 more. It delivers superior video quality and better night vision. For those on tighter budgets, the Outdoor Cam remains a solid option, particularly when on sale. Both models integrate well with the Ring mobile app, allowing for high customization.
