Can I install Floodlight Cam upside-down or horizontally?

How high should I install my Floodlight Cam?
Three metres off the ground is the optimal height to get the best range for the motion detector. With the motion detector parallel to the ground, Floodlight Cam optimised for detecting human-sized objects up to 10 metres away.
Why is Floodlight Cam set to 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz?
Floodlight Cam is only compatible with 2.4 GHz frequencies. Because your Floodlight Cam will be mounted outside and far away from your router, this wider range will help eliminate interference and ensure that your Floodlight Cam always performs at its best.
Does Floodlight Cam have a dusk-to-dawn feature?
Yes. Through the free Ring app, you can create a customised schedule for your floodlights. Using the app you can schedule your lights to turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, or you can create any other combinations to fit your personal schedule.
Can I control the floodlights?
Floodlight Cam gives you the option to manually control the lights with the free Ring app. While the lights will automatically turn on at night as soon as Floodlight Cam detects motion, you can also use the app to manually turn the lights on or turn them off. As long as Floodlight Cam is connected to a wifi network, you can control the lights from anywhere.
Can I dim the floodlights?
No, Floodlight Cam's floodlights are not dimmable. However, the floodlights on Floodlight Cam Wired Pro and Floodlight Cam Wired Plus are dimmable.
If I connect Floodlight Cam to a light switch, can I use the switch to turn on the lights?
Yes. You can use your light switch to turn the lights on by flipping the switch off, and then quickly on again. This will reboot the camera and keep the lights on for about a minute.
Do I have to have a Ring Video Doorbell to use Floodlight Cam?
No, your Floodlight Cam, like all Ring devices, can operate as a stand-alone unit. Ring products are, however, designed to work together to create a ring of security around your home.
Is Floodlight Cam compatible with Ring Chime and Ring Chime Pro?
Yes, Floodlight Cam is compatible with both Ring Chime and Chime Pro.
How does motion detection work?
Floodlight Cam comes with two types of motion detection.
- Passive infrared sensors: These are the sensors that control your floodlights and tend to be more sensitive to the heat of bodies passing through your garden.
- Advanced motion detection: These sensors (which include human detection features) can be configured to only send you alerts when it detects people.
With the free Ring app, you can choose to turn on or off the motion detection for your floodlights and/or camera, and you can also customise the sensitivity of your motion sensors, so you can find your ideal setting.
How do I adjust the different detection zones for the lights?
The floodlights are divided up into three 90 degree zones that can be independently turned on or off and the distance adjusted to customise the area that will trigger the lights to turn on. The camera too can have its motion-sensing area customised through the Ring app and can cover up to three different zones. The combination of these different customisable zones gives you complete control over the area you wish to cover with your Floodlight Cam.
Note: You will not receive any motion alerts until you set at least one motion zone.
Does Floodlight Cam run 24-hours a day?
Only if you want it to. Motion scheduling is a feature that allows you to disable motion alerts during a specific day and time. If, for example, your garbage is collected at 7:15 AM every Tuesday, you can schedule your camera's motion detection notifications to turn off for that period.
Does Floodlight Cam use data all the time or just when it's activated?
Floodlight Cam uses a wifi connection. The Ring app will only use cellular data when you answer an event or access a recording or Live View while not connected to wifi.
Does Floodlight Cam keep footage for later review?
It can, if you have a subscription to Ring Protect, an optional service that allows you to view, save and share your videos.

Does Floodlight Cam have a warranty?
