2026 verdict
The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus wins on price and 2K video against the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus, which is enough to take this all-Ring outdoor matchup.
It costs less, records 2K rather than 1080p, runs on a rechargeable battery so it mounts anywhere without wiring, and still includes color night vision, a siren, motion and privacy zones and event recording that survives a power cut. The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is better rated and remains the stronger deterrent, with built-in floodlights the Outdoor Cam Plus lacks, permanent mains power and a wide 140-degree view, so nothing needs recharging. Both work with Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, and neither has local storage, so a Ring subscription is needed for recorded video on either. Buy the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus for sharper video and easy placement, and the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus when lighting the area matters most.
