Ring is adding higher resolution and more flexible viewing angles to its home security lineup with four new 4K cameras and a new pan-tilt indoor model. The company announced Outdoor Cam 4K Plus, Spotlight Cam 4K Plus, Floodlight Cam 4K Plus, Indoor Cam 4K, and the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K. All four 4K models use Ring’s Retinal 4K video technology, which the company introduced last year to offer a wide-angle view and true-color video in low light. In the U.S., the Indoor Cam 4K and Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K are on sale now, while the Outdoor Cam 4K Plus, Spotlight Cam 4K Plus, and Floodlight Cam 4K Plus are available for preorder. The new 2K pan-tilt indoor camera brings motion tracking and full-room coverage to Ring’s indoor range.
Retinal 4K expands across outdoor and indoor cameras
Ring is extending its Retinal 4K video across four of its new cameras to give sharper footage and a wider view of what is happening around a home. Retinal 4K is designed to keep more detail across the frame while maintaining color accuracy even in low-light conditions. The company pairs that higher resolution with different power options depending on the model, including plug-in, wired, battery, solar, and Power over Ethernet.
Across the 4K lineup, the focus is on flexibility. Some models support multiple power sources so homeowners can choose between a quick battery install, a more permanent hardwired setup, or even PoE where network cabling is already in place. By tying Retinal 4K into both outdoor and indoor cameras, Ring is aiming for a consistent video experience across entryways, driveways, yards, and interior rooms.
Outdoor Cam 4K Plus for walls, eaves, and general exterior coverage
Outdoor Cam 4K Plus is Ring’s next-generation outdoor camera with Retinal 4K and a wide-angle view, built to mount on exterior surfaces where a simple camera is enough. It is meant for spots like exterior walls, eaves, or corners of the home where lighting is already present and a dedicated spotlight or floodlight is not needed. The boosted resolution is intended to capture clearer details across a broader scene, such as walkways, side yards, or the area near a garage door.
This model stands out for its range of power options. Outdoor Cam 4K Plus can run on a battery, plug into an outlet, be hardwired, pair with a solar option, or connect over Power over Ethernet. That range gives more freedom for both new installs and upgrades, whether someone wants a cable-free mount under an eave or a more permanent wired setup with PoE.
Spotlight Cam 4K Plus for entries and areas needing active deterrence
Spotlight Cam 4K Plus combines Retinal 4K video with a 550-lumen built-in spotlight meant to deter unwanted visitors. This camera is positioned for areas where extra light can make a difference, such as front doors, side doors, or dark corners around the home. The spotlight can light up the area so the 4K video captures color and detail that might be missed in the dark.
Ring gives this model three power options: battery, plug-in, and solar. That makes it a flexible pick for spots where running new electrical lines might be difficult, like a detached garage or a fence post, while still offering the option to tie into an outlet near a porch. For many homes, Spotlight Cam 4K Plus will likely be the go-to for entryways and paths where the combination of light and higher resolution video can both record and help scare off intruders.
Floodlight Cam 4K Plus for driveways and open yards
Floodlight Cam 4K Plus pairs Retinal 4K with a floodlight setup aimed at larger outdoor areas. Ring links this camera with deterrence, 24/7 recording support, and smart detection. That mix points toward wide, open spots like driveways, backyards, or side yards where strong light and continuous coverage can help keep an eye on cars, gates, and wider property lines.
Ring did not share power options or a lumen rating for Floodlight Cam 4K Plus in the announcement. Even without those details, its feature set is built around deterrence and continuous coverage. The combination of 4K resolution, floodlight deterrence, smart detection, and support for around-the-clock recording is tailored for locations where activity is frequent and security coverage is a priority.
Indoor Cam 4K for fixed views inside the home
Indoor Cam 4K brings Retinal 4K into Ring’s indoor range for people who want sharper video inside the home. It has a 115-degree field of view, which is wide enough to cover most of a room when placed in a corner or along a wall. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 support is built in, which is aimed at helping the camera stay connected on modern home networks.
Privacy controls play a central role for Indoor Cam 4K. It includes a physical privacy shutter that, when closed, blocks the camera lens. That feature is aimed at people who want high-resolution indoor footage when they are away, but a quick and clear way to shut off viewing when they are home or have guests.
Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K for full-room tracking
Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K focuses on coverage and movement rather than maximum resolution. It records in 2K and can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and tilt 175 degrees vertically. This motion range lets a single camera follow activity across nearly an entire room, from floor to ceiling and wall to wall.
The camera uses computer-vision-based motion detection to track movement automatically as it happens. When something moves, the camera can follow it around the room rather than staying fixed on one spot. Like the Indoor Cam 4K, this model includes a physical privacy shutter, and on this model closing it disables both the camera and its microphone, aimed at giving homeowners clear control over when monitoring is active inside the home.
Which Ring camera fits where
Each of these new models focuses on a different part of the home, so the choice comes down to where it will be mounted and what kind of coverage is needed. Outdoor Cam 4K Plus is a fit for general outdoor use on walls and eaves where you want high-resolution coverage but do not need built-in lights. Spotlight Cam 4K Plus targets doors, small yards, and other areas that benefit from a focused 550-lumen light paired with 4K video.
Floodlight Cam 4K Plus is aimed at bigger outdoor spaces like driveways and open yards, where stronger lighting, 24/7 recording support, and smart detection can help monitor wide areas and more frequent activity. Indoors, Indoor Cam 4K suits fixed viewpoints such as living rooms or hallways, especially for people who care about Retinal 4K quality and a clear privacy shutter option. Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K is a match for larger rooms or spaces where people want one camera to track motion across the entire area instead of relying on several fixed-position cameras.
Ring also noted that its TAKE (Throw Away the Key) encryption is planned to become the default for all Ring customers worldwide once fully rolled out. That change covers Ring customers broadly, not just buyers of these new cameras.
