Ring, Amazon's premium home security brand, has announced two new outdoor cameras heading to its expansive line-up in Australia.
Available for pre-order on Amazon ahead of June shipping dates, the new Ring Spotlight Camera (2nd Gen) and Ring Floodlight Camera (2nd Gen) have been designed with Australian homes in mind, touting improved features over previous generations.
Notably, both cameras record sharper 2K video — an upgrade from the previous 1080p footage — making it easy to recognise and capture activity outside homes. This includes people, packages, and pet detection under both day and night conditions.
In terms of specific features, the Ring Spotlight Camera has a 550-lumen spotlight that provides enhanced brightness and is fully compatible with Ring's quick-release battery pack, so you don't need to worry about wiring it in.
The Ring Floodlight Camera has a much wider field of view, with a 2000-lumen spotlight that will illuminate everything around your home, including your driveway, backyard or garage.
When it comes to pricing, the Ring Spotlight Camera (2nd Gen) is available for AU$279 on Amazon and Ring, with shipping estimated for June 11, 2026. Meanwhile, the Ring Floodlight Camera (2nd Gen) is priced at AU$329 on Amazon and Ring and will begin shipping on June 4, 2026.
New battery-powered doorbells join Ring's 4K lineup
The two new outdoor cameras aren't the first Ring products with improved 2K retinal vision. Back in April, Ring released its latest Battery Video Doorbells in Australia: the Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen), Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) and the Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen). Each of the new doorbells sports a sleek new design, slimmer than the previous silhouettes on offer.
As for specs, the Doorbell and the Plus model offer 2K resolution, much like the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus (2nd gen). However, only the Plus will have a removable battery, which is similar to previous Plus models. The Pro, on the other hand, will have 4K retinal vision, and comes with a removable battery so you can charge it without removing the entire unit.
These new, higher-resolution additions prove that Ring will be able to better compete with the best video doorbells and security cameras. That said, anyone keen on a Ring ecosystem should note that, unlike options from TP-Link’s Tapo or most other home security brands, you'll likely need to sign up for a Ring subscription to save video. As with most new products, new customers will receive a 30-day free trial to Ring's subscription service upon setting up a new camera or doorbell.
