Ring has introduced five new home cameras: four Retinal Vision 4K models for indoor and outdoor use, and the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K, which follows motion across 360 degrees of pan coverage. According to Amazon, the full lineup is available to purchase or preorder in the U.S. and select countries worldwide.

Key points
  • Ring introduced four Retinal Vision 4K cameras: Outdoor Cam 4K Plus, Spotlight Cam 4K Plus, Floodlight Cam 4K Plus and Indoor Cam 4K.
  • The new Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K offers 360 degrees of pan coverage and 175-degree tilt that follows motion.
  • Power options span plug-in, wired, battery, solar and PoE, depending on the model.
  • Indoor Cam 4K and Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K are on sale now, while the outdoor, spotlight and floodlight models are open for preorder.
  • Ring says TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption) will become default encryption for all customers worldwide when fully rolled out.

Four 4K cameras with flexible power options

Ring says the new Retinal Vision 4K cameras expand a lineup it launched last year. Each of the four models is built with a wide-angle view, true-color low-light performance and flexible power options. Those options range from plug-in, wired, battery and solar to Power over Ethernet (PoE).

  • Outdoor Cam 4K Plus: described as Ring's next-generation outdoor camera with Retinal 4K, offered in battery, plug-in, hardwired, solar and PoE configurations.
  • Spotlight Cam 4K Plus: Retinal 4K clarity with a built-in 550-lumen spotlight for added deterrence. It comes in battery, plug-in and solar configurations.
  • Floodlight Cam 4K Plus: pairs floodlight deterrence with Retinal 4K detail and supports 24/7 recording and smart detection.
  • Indoor Cam 4K: brings Retinal 4K to Ring's indoor lineup, with a 115-degree field of view, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and a physical privacy shutter. It is Ring's first indoor 4K camera built for the home, according to the company.

Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K follows motion

The fifth camera is the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K. Ring says it addresses a common limit of fixed cameras: the subject of interest can move out of frame, leaving only part of the story. Its answer is 360 degrees of pan coverage and 175-degree tilt that intelligently follows motion.

The camera records in 2K video quality and uses computer vision-based motion detection. It also has a physical privacy shutter that disables both the camera and the microphone when closed.

Ring also launched an officially licensed NFL Game Day Cam Cover for all 32 teams. It fits compatible indoor Ring cameras and arrives ahead of the 2026-2027 NFL season.

Availability and what it means for buyers

Availability varies by model and by country. The Floodlight Camera 4K Plus and Spotlight Camera 4K Plus are open for preorder in the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and Sweden. The Outdoor Camera 4K Plus is open for preorder in the same markets plus Japan.

The Indoor Camera 4K can be purchased now in the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and Sweden. The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera 2K can be purchased in those markets as well as Australia and New Zealand. Amazon did not give prices in the announcement and points customers to their local Amazon website for pricing and regional details.

For buyers, the main change is choice. Ring says that whether a home needs battery, solar, plug-in, hardwired or PoE power, indoors or outdoors, there is now a 4K camera that fits. The pan-tilt model adds a moving option for indoor spaces where a fixed view can miss activity.

Separately, Ring said TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption) will become the default encryption for all Ring customers worldwide when fully rolled out. The company describes it as setting a new industry standard for default encryption and control.
