The Aqara Camera G100 takes the win here, undercutting the Ring model on price while offering sharper 2K video, open RTSP streaming, broader local storage support and a wider set of alert types. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus (wired) still holds its own with more refined customizable motion zones, useful for households that want tighter control over where detection triggers. Everything else, including rating and weather resistance, comes down to a tie between the two. For most shoppers the extra storage flexibility and lower cost make the Aqara Camera G100 the easier recommendation, but anyone who wants best-in-class zone customization inside the Ring app should still consider the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus (wired).
