Ring Spotlight Cam (1st Gen): security updates end December 31, 2026
Ring's own support page lists December 31, 2026 as the guaranteed security update date for the Spotlight Cam (1st Gen) Wired, Battery, Solar and Mount. If you bought yours new from Ring or Amazon (sold by Amazon), you get at least 4 years from purchase, so your date may be later.
The camera keeps working after that date. What stops being guaranteed is security fixes. Read Ring's page. Last checked November 10, 2026.
Replace it: Ring lists security updates until at least December 31, 2030 for the Spotlight Cam Plus Battery (also Plug-in and Solar), and until December 31, 2031 for the Spotlight Cam 4K Plus.
