With Spotlight Cam (2nd Generation) and Floodlight Cam (2nd Generation), Ring extends the Retinal 2K video standard across its entire outdoor camera portfolio, taking resolution levels previously reserved for premium models into a more affordable price point for the first time.
The move completes Ring’s efforts to standardize Retinal 2K across its outdoor lineup, rather than restricting the spec to high-end devices like the Spotlight Cam Pro, significantly narrowing the feature gap between the brand’s entry and midrange tiers.
Targeted at homeowners looking for a compact outdoor security solution, the Spotlight Cam (2nd generation) introduces a dual chamber battery design and support for quick-release Ultra battery packs sold separately, giving users more flexibility in managing power without the need for wired installations.
The camera also features a built-in 550 lumen spotlight for night deterrent, and Retinal 2K resolution is intended to provide sharper detail in facial recognition and motion capture scenarios compared to the 1080p output it replaces across the standard range.
For large outdoor areas such as driveways and garages, the Floodlight Cam (2nd Generation) combines the same Retinal 2K video with a 2,000 lumen floodlight, with significantly more brightness to meet coverage requirements where compact spotlight cameras are inadequate in larger open spaces.
Ring says the resolution upgrade improves image clarity across the entire field of view in both day and night conditions, and this claim applies equally to both new cameras regardless of their differences in form factor or lighting output.
Both cameras are available for pre-order in the UK ahead of their official release on June 3, 2026, with prices starting from £149.99 for the Spotlight Cam (2nd generation) and £179.99 for the Floodlight Cam (2nd generation), with availability confirmed in Australia, Canada, Europe and New Zealand, but may vary by region.
