Data from the official Ring and Wyze sites.
2026 verdict
The Wyze Cam OG wins on price, storage and alerts against the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus.
It costs a small fraction as much, is IP65 sealed for outdoor use, records to microSD with 24/7 and offline history at no cost, sees in colour at night with a built-in spotlight, supports motion zones and works with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus is better rated and adds privacy zones and a siren the Wyze lacks, along with a brighter spotlight, the choice of battery or wired power and Ring's app, but it stores nothing locally and requires a subscription for recorded video and person or package alerts. Both record 1080p on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with color night vision. Buy the Wyze Cam OG for free recording at a very low price, and the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus for a brighter light, a siren and battery placement.
