Ring has announced two new outdoor security cameras, bringing its upgraded Retinal 2K video quality to more affordable models for the first time. The new Ring Spotlight Cam (2nd Gen) and Ring Floodlight Cam (2nd Gen) are designed to deliver sharper image quality, brighter lighting and more flexible power options without the premium price.
The launch also marks a fairly significant moment for Ring, as Retinal 2K video is now becoming the standard across its entire best security camera lineup rather than being reserved for the brand’s more expensive models, such as the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro (2K).
Both cameras are available to pre-order now in the UK ahead of their full release on 3rd June 2026, with pricing starting from £149.99/$169.99. They’ll also launch across Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, although availability will vary slightly depending on region.
The Ring Spotlight Cam (2nd Gen) is aimed at homeowners wanting a more compact outdoor security setup whilst still benefiting from the upgraded video quality. It introduces Ring’s new dual-chamber battery design for more flexible power management and supports the Quick Release Ultra Battery Pack, which is sold separately.
There’s also a 550-lumen spotlight built in to improve nighttime visibility and help deter unwanted visitors, whilst the upgraded Retinal 2K resolution should provide noticeably clearer detail when capturing faces, movement and activity around the home. The Spotlight Cam (2nd Gen) starts at £149.99/$169.99.
For larger outdoor areas, Ring has also introduced the Floodlight Cam (2nd Gen), which combines Retinal 2K video with much brighter 2000-lumen floodlights. It’s designed for bigger spaces like driveways and garages, where wider lighting coverage and clearer footage can make a more noticeable difference.
Ring says the move from standard 1080p to Retinal 2K improves image clarity across the entire field of view in both daytime and nighttime conditions. The Floodlight Cam (2nd Gen) starts at £179.99/$199.99.
