My ring spotlight cam plus on stopped working. Batteries or ac don't work. It's completely dead. It was outside. I have 2. One works and one is dead.

So I got 2k ring outdoor cam plus 2pack at bestbuy for 110 with tax. 55 each not bad.

But those also say weather resistant not proof. So same thing might happen again.

So I saw on Amazon some done like things that cover the camera and keep the rain out and have a mounting screw for the camera for 22 bucks. But 22 each is a lot.

So I got creative with a cereal bowl from target for 50 cents turned upside down. I can still see a tiny bit of the bowl.

So I might have to mount it to the tree instead somehow. Not sure how though. Or trim the bowl.

How does this look?

I’ve got three ring systems and dozens of devices. This has been a low week:

1. I want to get more flood/freeze sensors, but apparently I cannot do so without signing up to help Amazon build its Sidewalk network. Like, literally you decided to remove my ability to just connect to my own WiFi without agreeing to participate in a mesh network with a bunch of strangers?!

2. Just bought a new rack of door sensors. Somehow though buying full price third generation would be better than the discounted second generation. The only appreciable difference I’ve seen so far: each and every device requires a two minute software upgrade before I can get it up and running.

This afternoon I was looking back at my recordings on my indoor ring cam to see if my dog weed on the sofa when I wasn’t in the room and I saw a bunch of LIVE orange recordings that wasn’t me or my husband! Really concerned me that someone else is watching us on our indoor cam! I checked authorised users on the app and it did have web access on there which is none of us! We removed it but I’m scared we’ve been hacked. We have both changed our passwords on Ring but just wondered if anyone else has had this and what did you do about it? Do I report it to Ring?

For the last three days, I’ve turned off smart alerts and every morning, it has turned back on. Only on my outdoor cameras though which I find odd.

Is anybody else dealing with this bug?

I had been using a Ring Video Battery Doorbell 2 since 2019. Last week I replaced it with the new 2026 model Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus as it was on sale for Prime Days.

My main issue with it is the poor audio quality. When doing a Live video and pressing the icon for the Sound, there isn't much that comes through the phoesi speakers (turned all the way up). But then when I go back and watch the same video (or download it) the audio sounds really bad.

This video from yesterday you can hear all this "jumbled" sound. It's like if a strong wind was hitting a mic, but there is no wind and my house is pretty buffered. My older unit from 2019 wasn't like this. I don't know if this is considered normal on the new models or if this is a problem/defect.

I've done a few tests overnight, early AM, middle of the day and they are all like this.

I am connected to 5Ghz on my router and it shows the connection speed is 112Mbps to the doorbell.

I have the older battery doorbell pro, with the wider shorter batteries. The battery cover just pops right off, I don’t use the screw. I pop a new battery in, pop it back on. Done. Now with the new ones, what’s this dumb orange tool that I need? I can’t pop the battery out without it? And when I finally lose this little dumb tool? This is the dumbest engineering I’ve ever seen. Any hacks so I don’t need to use this tool every time?

Hi I'm a new Ring camera user who decided to buy a pet cam to watch my cats. The camera is in the cat room which basically just has their litter boxes. Well I noticed every so often when it goes off it shows a package notification? So I'm wondering if it knows that my cats are leaving me a "special" package. Any way to change this?

So we are leaving the ring equipment there. I just went through two door bells and two flood light cameras and deleted all video event histories.

Under device settings/ general settings there is a 'remove device'.

If I do that for all devices , is that all I need to do?

The new owner should then just be able to move in and set up their wifi, scan the device or add it to their network?

Basically 'remove device' unlocks it and leaves it ready for whoever?

Do you get a notification to your phone from the ring app if the doorbell loses its internet connection??

I have the Ring doorbell that is not wired in. I take it off and charge it when it needs it.

For some reason, it is not ringing inside anymore. It rings outside, but I cannot hear it inside. Before I got the better model after Christmas it rang on my Samsung cell phone.

I have gone through so many settings, but cannot figure it out!

Will someone please help figure out how to make my rechargeable RING doorbell work inside again?

We moved and left our older devices installed at the old house. We deactivated them but they still appear in the app and on our dashboard. How do we get those off?

First time user. Bought a 2nd gen Battery Doorbell 2K Plus a few days ago.

Ring Alerts, Motion Detection, and Motion Alerts enabled. The camera is connected to the prior old-school doorbell's wiring and shows 100% battery with the Power Source listed as Plugged In. Motion Sensitivity and Package Sensitivity are at Max. Motion Zones are set up for both packages and regular motion. Smart Alerts are on for Person, Vehicle, Package, and Other Motion, with "record and send alerts" set for everything.

Somehow, multiple vehicles have driven past my house without alerting today, and a FedEx delivery guy dropped off a large 20 lb package at our front door that wasn't caught. I don't think there's any settings I could have dialed up further than where they're at now.

Anyone have any ideas about things I could try to troubleshoot here? Maybe resetting zones, rebooting the device, something along those lines?

We got this doorbell from my boyfriend's mom, who used it before us. I plugged it in yesterday afternoon, and it's been doing this exact thing for the entire time. Last night I went to move it and accidentally pressed the button, and it started ringing, but haven't been able to recreate that since then. Is this normal? Is it still usable? Thanks so much!

EDIT: The "issue" starts about 15 seconds into the video, thanks!

The gal between these two events is 90 mins , I always see little lines between the videos when there is a gap for time like 9 915 930 etc . Why wouldn’t there be any with a gap this large

I just switched my entire home system over to Ring, coming from Arlo for the last 5-6 years. The Ring cameras and video quality have are good, setup was a breeze, and the hardware itself is nice.

HOWEVER, the software limitations are atrocious.

My NUMBER 1 COMPLAINT = The Modes feature is awful. 1) Not being able to customize alert settings for each mode is ridiculous not to provide. This should be the number one purpose of modes. I want my recordings to continue, but don't want my phone going ape shit from notifications while family is playing in the yard. I had many custom modes on my Arlo app, with various combinations of recordings, push notifications, floodlights, etc...For the life of me, I don't understand why Ring wouldn't make this part of the feature. 2) Ring only has 3 modes w/ limited customization. Arlo allows you to create custom modes in whatever combination of motion/recording/alerts you wanted. It's mind blowing to me the leader in cloud-based security is lacking so hard in this area.

My only other real complaint is shortcuts. Limited to only 4 options, one of which is marketing/product push. Useless.

Anyways, I hope Ring gets their act together around modes, as this is a huge blind spot in their platform.

Gleiche Stick up Cam Outdoor gekauft die ich auch vorher schon hatte, die alte erst vor wenigen Tagen E2E aktiviert, bei der neuen steht jetzt „nicht berechtigt“. Bug oder wurde das geändert bei neuen Geräten?

The routine seems to be increasing in recent weeks/months. I get a notification that there's motion on one of my cameras. I tap it on my phone, and when the app launches and is about to show me the motion, I get "Are you enjoying Ring? Please rate us on the App Store!" (with the star-rating choices popping up.) This is ridiculous for a "security" camera system. And it's a good way to get a 1-star rating in a hurry if I'm being honest. Note: This used to happen much less frequently, if at all. UGH. OK, I need more coffee. Clearly. Grr. Thanks for listening.

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe eine Ring Video Doorbell Wired Pro. Obwohl die Außentemperatur nur 19 °C beträgt, wird mir in der Ring-App angezeigt, dass die Türklingel abkühlen muss.
Ist das normal? Bei dieser Außentemperatur sollte doch eigentlich kein Abkühlungsbedarf bestehen.
Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder kennt die Ursache?
Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Shout out to Ring for going into maintenance as I’m actively trying to watch something going down outside

Hi everyone, we’ve had our ring camera for about 6 months now, and we notice at least 2 times a week a new scam post pops up trying to sell puppies.

We, being naive, responded to one of these listings early on. The seller refused to let us see the puppies, stated they were too far away to meet us somewhere to discuss adoption (even though they supposedly lived in our neighborhood), had an out of state area code and would only accept payment through a Cash App. We realized it was a scam and reported the post.

Because that specific scam post had gained so much traction, we also posted to the community about the scam and instantly gained a lot of recognition for it with people who had almost fallen for said scam. Now a few days later, our post was removed and we were “banned for violating user guidelines”.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

Haven’t seen or heard that much about the Always Home Cam, so I found this listing pretty interesting.
