Ring has just unveiled its most advanced outdoor security camera to date, bringing cinema-quality 2K resolution and ground-breaking low-light capabilities to home security. The new Outdoor Camera Plus represents a significant leap forward in smart home monitoring, combining crystal-clear video quality with intelligent features that make keeping an eye on your property easier than ever.
At the heart of this new camera is Ring Vision, the company’s proprietary imaging technology that pairs premium hardware with sophisticated software processing. The result is remarkably clear footage with true-to-life colours, whether you’re checking a live feed or reviewing last night’s recordings. What particularly caught my attention is the new Low-Light Sight technology, which can capture detailed, colourful footage even in near-darkness – think of those dimly lit garden paths or poorly illuminated driveways that traditional cameras struggle with.
The camera comes with thoughtful design choices that make it practical for any home setup. You can power it via battery, mains connection, or solar panel, and its weather-resistant construction means you won’t need to worry about harsh weather conditions. The mounting system works on walls or even ceilings, and the camera comes in both black and white to match your home’s aesthetic.
While the basic features like real-time alerts and two-way communication are available out of the box, Ring offers additional capabilities through its subscription plans. The Ring Home Basic plan unlocks smart alerts for people, packages, and vehicles, plus 180 days of video history. For those wanting complete coverage, the Premium plan adds 24/7 recording when using mains power.
The camera includes customisable privacy zones to block out areas you don’t want to monitor, and a blue indicator light shows when recording is active.
The Outdoor Camera Plus will be available from March 27, 2025, with pre-orders starting now at Ring.com, Amazon.com.au, and major retailers like JB Hi-Fi. The camera is priced at A$179.
