Amazon owns both Ring and Blink security cameras, but out of the two, Ring cameras are more premium and don't go on sale as often. Ring also has a Pro series, which are their higher tier cameras. One of those cameras, the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro, is currently $179.99 (originally $229.99), sitting at its lowest price according to price-checking tools. It comes with great audio quality, quick notifications, and a spotlight, among other features.

The Ring Spotlight Cam Pro came out in 2022. Two years later, it's still a premium security camera, but the resolution does show its age a bit, tapping at 1080p resolution. The field of view is 140 degrees, and you can choose between a cloud subscription or free local storage. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa and IFTTT (no Google Assistant or HomeKit). It has color night vision and an intruder alarm (you can change the settings on the app).

Where this camera shines is on its audio quality, but ironically not on its light. It's not a floodlight camera, so it can be forgiven. The spotlight only reaches 375 lumens in brightness, which covers around 30 feet of area according to ZDNet's review. But the two-way audio is clear enough to have a casual conversation with a person from 40 feet from the camera without hiccups.

The camera is wireless, with an easily accessible battery, but they also sell a wired and solar version. The battery version will give you about six to 12 months of juice depending on how often it's triggered and your light settings. You can read more about its features in PCMag's review.

Keep in mind that if you want to record your videos, review footage for up to 180 days, and share videos and photos, you'll need a Ring Protect Plan subscription in addition to the purchase of the equipment. Those plans start at $3.99 per month.
