Ring brings 2K video resolution to its cameras

We’re in the middle CES 2025 And Amazon has announced a number of new features and devices in their product lines. In Ring’s case, that means upgrading the camera quality, with the Ring Floodlight Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Pro getting 2K video resolution. This update should improve the quality of each piece of video footage, improving clarity and security.

Ring will introduce 2K video resolution on January 8th. Anyone with a Floodlight Cam Pro or Spotlight Cam Pro can use the Ring app to upgrade their device’s resolution for free.

At the same time, Ring teamed up with Kiddefire safety company to create smoke and carbon monoxide alarms using Ring technology. Essentially, the devices will send real-time alerts to the Ring app if they detect unsafe levels of smoke or carbon monoxide. It’s important to note that people don’t need to have a Ring Alarm or hub to use them.

For $5 a month, customers can get professional monitoring of their devices that allows agents to communicate with emergency personnel and contacts. These devices will only be available to US customers at Home Depot starting this April.
