A 1080p wireless Ring camera with motion-activated spotlights, colour night vision, a siren and two-way talk, running from a Quick-Release battery pack that can be topped up by a plug-in adaptor or Ring's solar panel. At around £129 it is cheaper than the floodlight models, but you are still on 1080p, and recording needs a Ring subscription. Home Assistant gets cloud-polled events and snapshots through the ring integration only, with no RTSP. Pick it if the rest of your house is Ring; look elsewhere if you want local recording.
What can Home Assistant control on the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus Battery?
Cloud-only ring integration, as for every Ring camera: motion events, snapshots and on-demand live view relayed through Ring's servers, with no local RTSP. Battery wake behaviour means HA polling is not instant.
