Ring Indoor Cam Plus Review: Sharp 2K Video and Smart AI Alerts at an Affordable Price

EDITORS' NOTE This is the most recent version of the Ring Indoor Cam Plus. Read our review from December 7, 2025 below. The Indoor Cam Plus is a plug-in home security camera that uses Ring's Retinal 2K technology to deliver sharp video, better-than-average low-light color, and enhanced digital zoom. It also uses generative AI to offer features such as detailed event descriptions, single-event alerts, and intelligent video searches. Additionally, it will interact with third-party smart home devices when used with IFTTT applets. The camera performed well in testing and can be controlled using Alexa voice commands; however, a paid subscription is required to access recorded video and unlock several features. At $59.99, it’s an affordable addition to homes that use Ring security devices or Alexa for home automation, but for $10 less, the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor ($49.99) offers more features, including mechanical pan and tilt, Google Assistant support, and face recognition, so it remains our Editors' Choice. Design and Specs: Familiar Look, 2K Video Capture The Indoor Cam Plus looks identical to the second-generation Ring Indoor Cam we reviewed in 2023. It has a cylindrical shape, a round tilt-and-swivel base, and measures 3.8 by 1.9 by 1.9 inches (HWD). It comes in black or white. The camera can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall or ceiling using the included hardware. It also comes with a 6.5-foot USB-C power cable, a USB power adapter, and a quick start guide. On the front of the camera is the lens, a microphone, a speaker, an IR LED for black-and-white night vision, and a status LED. The lens uses Ring’s Retinal 2K technology to capture 2K (2,560 by 1,440) video with a 115-degree field of view. This technology also enables AI-enhanced 4x zoom and improved color reproduction in low-light conditions. If there’s not enough light for color video, the IR LED will kick in. The camera has a manual cover that slides over the lens f
