An outdoor security camera that records wide 2K video for clearer monitoring around a property. Near-dark colour capture and live two-way talk bring reassurance when checking on family or deliveries. Is plug-in power with optional subscription recording the right balance of convenience and coverage for your needs? The Ring Outdoor Camera Plus

⚡ At a Glance
  • Image Quality: Wide 2K video with Low-Light Sight for true-to-life colour in near-dark
  • Best for: Homeowners and small businesses wanting reliable, easy-to-review outdoor surveillance
  • Not ideal for: Users who need battery-powered placement away from mains sockets

RETINAL2K captures a wider field of view in 2K resolution. Low-Light Sight enhances colour and detail when lighting is poor.


Clear, wide coverage day and night – with RETINAL2K and Low-Light Sight

RETINAL2K records video at 2K resolution across a wide field of view, while Low-Light Sight processes low-illumination scenes to preserve colour and detail. Video quality can vary with internet bandwidth and device temperature.

Sharper, more usable footage for identifying people or packages in challenging light, reducing blind spots around a property.

Continuous evidence capture – thanks to 24/7 recording with a compatible Ring Home Plan

24/7 recording functionality is available for Plug-In and Wired variants when connected to a compatible Ring Home Plan, enabling continuous footage storage. Event alerts for people and packages integrate with recorded timelines for quick review.

Ability to scroll back through a continuous timeline helps locate incidents quickly and provides a longer evidence window when needed.

Simple installation and hands-free monitoring – with plug-in power, included mount and Alexa integration

Plug-in power uses a standard electrical socket so charging batteries is unnecessary, and the included mount supports table, wall or ceiling installation. Alexa-enabled devices can announce notifications and display video on compatible Echo Show screens.

Fast to set up near a mains socket, and convenient to check live feeds or speak to visitors using app or voice-enabled devices.
