2026 verdict
The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus wins on ratings, weather resistance, color night vision, its floodlights, privacy zones and its siren against the TP-Link Kasa EC70.
It is a hardwired outdoor camera whose floodlights light a driveway and enable color night vision, with a siren, privacy zones, motion zones, person and package alerts on a plan and Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT support. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is much cheaper, carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year and wins on storage, recording 24/7 and event history to a microSD card at no cost, with indoor pan and tilt coverage and Google Home and Alexa support, though it records 1080p in black and white at night, has no siren or privacy zones and keeps person alerts behind a subscription. Buy the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus for outdoor lighting and deterrence, and the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for cheap indoor coverage with free recording.
