Frequently Asked Questions - Spotlight Cam Hardwired Kit RING

How do I install the Ring Spotlight Cam Hardwired?

Installation requires hardwiring to a standard 120V AC junction box. Mount the camera using the included bracket and screws, connect the wires (white to white, black to black, green to ground), secure with wire nuts, and attach the camera. Then set up via the Ring app. For safety, consider hiring a licensed electrician.

Does the Spotlight Cam need a power outlet?

Yes, it must be hardwired to a constant 120V AC power source. There is no battery backup, so it requires a connection to an existing junction box or outlet.

What Wi-Fi requirements does the camera have?

The camera requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (802.11 b/g/n). It does not support 5 GHz. A strong signal is recommended for reliable streaming. Use the Ring app to check signal strength during setup.

Can I view the camera feed in colour at night?

Yes, when motion is detected, the built-in LED spotlights turn on, providing colour night vision. Without the spotlights, the camera uses infrared for black-and-white night vision.

How do the motion zones work?

In the Ring app, you can draw custom motion zones to specify areas you want to monitor. Adjust the sensitivity slider to reduce false triggers from trees or animals.

Is the camera weatherproof?

Yes, it has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. It is designed for outdoor use but should be installed under eaves or in a sheltered area for best results.

Can I use the camera without a Ring Protect subscription?

Yes, you can view live video and receive motion alerts for free. However, video recording and saving clips require a Ring Protect plan (starting at $3.99/month per device).

How do I clean the camera?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lens and spotlights. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the camera is powered off during cleaning.

What should I do if the camera is not connecting?

First, verify your Wi-Fi network is working and within range. Restart the camera by cutting power for 10 seconds. Reset the camera by holding the setup button for 15 seconds. Re-add the device in the Ring app.

Is there a warranty on the Spotlight Cam?

Ring offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects. You can contact Ring support for assistance. Extended warranty plans may be available.
