Porch/Garage Light Design
battery-smart-lighting
product-request
I would like to see Ring design a light cam that I can replace my porch or side garage door lights with. Not floodlights or stick up cameras but something like the latern style you would buy at Lowes. The lights could be on low at all times but when motion is detected they turn on high and the camera is activated. It would be an attractive alternative to the floodlights or other cameras available.

Awesome. Thank you for your feedback, neighbors! Just to confirm, you have seen the Spotlight Cam: Battery or Wired, correct?

My Homeowners Association (HOA) will object to non-standard fixtures attached to the house that is visible from the street. Too many people doing that may allude to some notion that it is an unsafe neighborhood, which puts downward pressure on property prices (like putting grills on windows).
That's why I use a security cam lightbulb that fits into the existing porch light housing.

Does Ring make a front porch light (Coach Style) with a camera installed in it (see attached photo)? I have seen products from other manufactures (Maximus is one), but nothing like this from Ring!
I already have the RING Spotlight Camera and Stickup Camera. It would be nice if RING would consider offering a similiar product (Coach Style Front Porch Light) with a camera. I don't want to have a mix/match of different security cameras, if I can help it.
Thank You!

You probably already know the asnwer, Ring does not make a camera like that. You can see all the products on the Ring website.
What I have seen people do is put an indoor camera inside a latern light fixture using the power from the light socket. Sort of an interesting customized solution. Just make sure you have the IR turned off.

I have 4 floodlights and one doorbell installed around my house, however, I would love decorative front porch lights that have Ring camer/video capabilities. Is it planned as a future product?

Has Ring looked into making a porch light style camera? I believe that style would disguise the camera.

I'd be REALLY interested in a Ring Porch Light, or an after-market way to add a Ring camera to an existing porch light. We have a Ring doorbell for the front door and a Ring Floodlight Cam for the driveway. I'd live to replace my porch lights with Ring devices that look like a porch light.
For example, my Floodlight Cam is next to my patio, but it can't see onto my patio, much less into my backyard. But a Ring camera in my porch light could. Further, my Ring Doorbell can sort of see my front yard, but not terribly well given where the doorbell is installed. However, a porch light would not only cover my front yard, but the sidewalks and street where my daughter's car is parked.
It would seem to be a relatively straightforward modification of the camera in the floodlight cam to a porch light enclosure since the AC/DC conversion and AC relays are already there.
I've considered 3D-printing an enclosure myself, but I doubt it would last long in the Texas heat.

I agree 100% on the porch light idea. I was looking for a place to make that suggestion when I came across this board and see that several others have already suggested the idea. Just like the floodlight cam is a quick/easy replacement for an existing floodlight, a Ring "Porch-Light Cam", could be an easy drop-in replacement for an existing porch light, where power is already available. That would seem to be a fairly lucrative concept for Ring as well. There are probably more home-owners that would be willing and able to replace a porch light they can readily access without an extension ladder as compared to replacing a floodlight.
Looking forward to a possible future Ring Porch-Light Cam.

I love the floodlight for he back yard. It would be nice to have something with more of a decorative style for the front porch or garage lights.
