Which is better for a driveway with no wiring?

The Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight. It runs on two AA lithium batteries for up to two years, so it mounts without an electrician. The Ring needs a wired outdoor light fixture.

Is the Ring worth $30 more?

If you have the wiring, yes for detail: 2K video and 6x zoom beat 1080p, and the siren is useful. If wiring is a problem, the Blink at $69.95 is the practical pick.

Which has the wider view?

The Blink, at 145° versus 140° on the Ring. The gap is small; resolution matters more for identifying people.

Which lasts longer without maintenance?

The Ring, because it draws constant power from the fixture. The Blink needs new AA lithium batteries roughly every two years.

Do both work with Alexa?
