PoE versions of Ring Floodlight & Spotlight cam please?
Please update the Spotlight/Floodlight cam devices to work via PoE as opposed to WiFi. This added direct ethernet connection will be beneficial to customers who cannot get a good wifi signal to the cams like myself as the Spolight cams are placed outside the building at some distance from the rouer.I actually had to downgrade & replaced one of my external spotlight cam for a Stickup cam elite as the Stick up cam elite has the PoE option. Doesn't make sense that the inferior less featured stickup cam range should have this option while the more fully featured Spotlight/Floodlight camera's do not.

Seems limiting for the only way to run cameras without a battery/solar is to have an A/C power source nearby. It's also limiting that none of them will work unless a good WiFi connection is available. Why not add a feature so the floodlight camera will work if one can just run an ethernet cable to it with PoE. PoE cameras as an option to Ring lineup would be a great addition so I don't have to buy from a competitor like ReoLink to get one.

I would appreciate PoE as a built-in option for any gear with a network connection, including cameras, doorbells, alarm-hub etc. It provides a tidy installation without the need to hire an electrician. It is easy to provide backup power with a UPS, and unlike WiFi wired Ethernet can not be easily jammed. Anyone really concerned about security will prefer wired over wireless wherever possible.

I would like to see PoE (power over Ethernet) implemented as a standard power-source for all future network-attached units (cameras, alarm hub, range-extender, keypads etc). It simplifies DIY-installation wrt power while wired Ethernet provide enhanced security over WiFi which so easily can be jammed. Even devices without network such as the outdoor siren could use PoE. I have tiny wireless access-point-units that can use either PoE or a supplied power-adapter so space for the additional circuitry should not be a problem .

Would like to see a version of the Doorbell Pro 2 which allows POE for power and data. Ethernet port right in the back and surface mounted. Even if it was a slightly larger device. Could brand it the Elite 2. Issue with the current Elite is the flush mounting which might look nice but is totally out of the question for many due to the damage needed to the wall. No chance of cutting a hole that size to fit one specific product.
