Ring 2K Update - Is It REALLY 2K? Floodlight and Spotlight Cam PRO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Ring recently updated their Floodlight Cam PRO and Spotlight Cam PRO so as to be able to record in 2K resolution ( Just firmware update and not hardware). We will compare the footages and see if there is a difference between the regular 1080P footage compared to the "2K" one.

I see no real difference between 1080p and 2K. Reolink outran ring in 2K quality.
Really RING. YOU took 1080p and put a 2k label on it 😂
Exactly
:)
@@LifeHackster I've started to suspect that, the 1080p video is still recorded; but if we choose 2k, the video gets processed by an AI video enhancer if we download.
@mingchi1855 ;
It must be something better than that ring is doing though...
Because on live and recorded at 2K, the Spotlight Cam Pro I have watching my driveway is definitely sharper. And I can now read the license plates of the cars when I zoom in on them.
But only during daylight hours
At night it's like 1080p. I can't read them at all....
@@H.T.2forever That's great data point. Glad to see it not as bad because I still have ring cams in my setup.
Looks the same for sure.
So it's taken Ring 3+ years to be innovative and they took the standard 1080p and doubled it's file size then they call it 2K quality, I see no difference in both resolutions to be truthful and Ring are going down the toilet. I prefer to stick with alternative brands that are actually putting in the efforts to innovate
Thanks for the detail video of your testing.
No problem 👍
Wow!!!
Thanks for posting another great video.
The Reolink dual 3 looks really good
Ring is like 3+ years too late for this.
It’s like they tricked us into thinking it was gonna be better quality so no one leaves the ring system because they are lacking innovation and upgrades to the products
TBH I only keep these ring cams because of my ring alarm subscription. Without the subscription there’s no reason for me to use these old cameras.
Cameras only work if the bad guys are close. Good video. Good idea to test battery.
No difference
I'm not sure if this is the same camera i just bought. I got the 2k Spotlight Cam. When you go to video settings > Quality > It says its on 1440p. But the Quality sure looks bad
It happened to BlackBerry with mobile phones. It’s happening to iRobot with vacuum robots. Now Ring is on the same path.
If you stand still, you go backwards.
Looking at the sign he holds up reminds me trying to read the letters for the optometrist. I can recite what I remember and sell to them I have 20/20 when it's more like 20/5.
Do you have a recommendation for the best security camera app with rich notifications? I am spoiled by Nest GIF notifications on my lock screen but nothing else I have found compares. Thanks!
They need to quit wasting time on video “quality” updates and work on new cameras. They slacking hard.
I've seen no evidence of an actual R&D team for a while. That car cam was the last actual product design and maybe the department was deleted after that? Subscription money keeps coming in so why bother I guess...
What a joke Ring...what a scam...😂
I thought it was just me. They are the same. SMH.
Hi Mate. Thanks for the video. Very informative. I am actually in search of the best home alarm system and ordered Eufy S330 camera and Homebase 3 bundle as someone broke in to my house . So I needed it so badly. Supposed to be delivered yesterday but they did not. I may refuse the delivery. Heard a lot of negative reviews of their customer service. I am now thinking reolink after watching your videos. How is the customer support? If you are going to choose which company will you pick? There are only 2 brands mostly listed here, I am just wondering 🤔 if the 2 brands can integrate well with each other. Like the Eufy indoor E30 and you have the Reolink outdoor 810. Should I consider a good ecosystem. By the way are you Filipino by blood?
Hello, can you do a review of Camera lorex?
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Did you reboot the camera? Just thinking if that would make a difference when changing the settings.
No need to reboot. I just checked the resolution.
Is there any security camera that records @ a higher FPS? I think higher fps (60 or higher) givers better clarity, especially with moving objects.
ring. been there, done that, no.
Maybe their video compression is too high and it ruins it.
? I have been hearing mix reviews when it comes to the 24/7 recordings. Ppl are saying the spotlight plus can as long as it wired for power. Is this true?
Sooo double the file size for same quality? 😢
I know.
Why does the 1080p look better? Ring has some splaining to do! 😅
Last year I got rid of everything I had from Ring. It is no longer a serious competitor in the home smart security market
What did you go with ? Do you have an alarm system also?
Ring so far behind the times it’s ridiculous . Once they sold to Amazon their innovation has come to a standstill
WHY CANT I DO MOTION WARNING ON THESE FLAGSHIP DEVICES, RING? Every other camera can do it, why not these?
Ring customer are way behind in terms of quality, which it why I have been replacing my 10 ring cameras over the past few years. The stupid thing is that they should have updated the firmware to support 2k (kind of) years ago
Like i said a year ago. Ring is the applie of Wifi Cameras.
Thanks I was thinking about upgrading until I seen ur video. Really no difference.
I really can not see any different to justified buying the update version for a higher price.
I have Ring because of their cheap monitoring but I’ve been replacing their cams with Eufys. Rings cams are just so bad.
it looks the same... am I just missing something?
Now they can charge for more storage.
Why would you pay 20 bucks a month to get 2k when its free on every competitor cameras?
Pointless update, no difference at all, it's just a gimmick! 😮
Upscaled crap. 1080 pretending to be 2k. Ring is crap. I have installed about 40 ring doorbells for people about 4 years ago. Almost all of them failed. Crap overpriced products.
Yeah I’m considering leaving Ring!
They need to update their software UI and the algorithm that detects people!
I constantly miss IMPORTANT events and record pointless events.
Lastly, there should be a way to scroll through footage based on TIME! It makes NO SENSE that if I know an event occurring at a specific time that I can’t scroll directly to that time frame.
Ring will be dead soon.
🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
Not really a difference. Downloading a update to enhance the video to 2k when the hardware is the same for 1080p. Should have just released new hardware to actually support 2k and above resolution. Come on Ring!
Same same but different
The only thing Ring has going for it is integration with Alexa smart home (EG motion activated actions). Otherwise, they’re overpriced JUNK.
No difference because it's not 2K. lol
Looks the same 😂
This is disappointing, I'm a fan of the app and how simple it is to use.
Ring has really lost the plot at this point. Their products are so old and thee hasn’t been any innovation in years. I switched to Relolink and they are considerably better and cheaper.
Quality is very bad at 30 feet, competition is crushing you for years
Ring is soo overpriced. They're a joke now compared to the alternatives that are far cheaper and better quality.
There is zero difference. I also tried it on my end and complete garbage. As a matter of fact I just had an incident where my camera captured neighbor damage my car and go back inside his house and the detective is telling me she can't do anything because the video is so blurry she can't see faces. We are taking about the house right next to me. Ring is trash.
I'm currently asking my self why am I even paying for a subscription on top of expensive cameras when they intact don't help at all. My alley camera can't even capture liscence plates even though ill have the literal car in front of my garage.
Beside there alarm system and really cheap indoor cameras. Ring has fallen behind big time. I know they have a massive market advantage which makes them lazy but there outdoor cameras and doorbell cameras are outrageously overpriced.
Ring should be ashamed
Sad ring just sad
Kinda looks the same....
Fake news ring 🤦🏿
No difference 😂
