r/Ring

I have 3 of the new wired Kiddie smoke and co detectors. Love them. BUT they are way more sensitive than prior smoke alarms. They go off sometimes when someone is cooking and there is no visible smoke. The question i have is, why can't i 'hush' them via the app or keypads? I hit disarm on the keypad, which I guess tells Ring I do not need any help, but they keep ringing locally for another 5 minutes minimum. Online it says there might be a hush option in the app but only when they're going off? This seems like a no-brainer feature and something they should add to keypad features as well?

I took my doorbell down to charge tonight. it caught a glimpse of my face in the process and now that is the default snapshot. when I go to change my motion settings, which I do want to do, it’s just my face. I have tried rebooting through the app. didn’t change anything. How do I get the snapshot to be my porch view instead?

This issue has been driving me nuts. The Doorbell says it has a connection so bad that it can't connect whatsoever. I installed a ring chime pro about 6 feet from the door, which is physically as close as I can get it, as it's the closest outlet. The outdoor cameras have no issues whatsoever, even the floodlight cam I have that's double the distance from the m router that the doorbell is. But the damned doorbell is the only one having issues.

I used a signal strength analyzer and put it right next to the doorbell and it shows that the signal is indeed weaker in that spot, but nowhere near as dire as the doorbell thinks. -54 as opposed to -45 in the hall where the chime is.

New Ring owner here and just turned off this feature. To see someone post about fireworks and trying to interpret them as gunshots on July 4th was enough for me.

Or about some cat that ran off. It reminded me of Nextdoor which the idea wasn’t bad but turned into nosy neighbor nonsense. This latest alert made me see the feed and it wasn’t something I’d be interested in receiving alerts on. I don’t need these useless alerts coming from my home surveillance app.

New ring camera owner been having trouble with the motion tracking on my camera it doesn't record the beginning but it records them walking away how do I fix that? I've kept with the default setting because if I make a new motion zone it doesn't record I've made a zone over the default and it still won't record. Please help.

My Ring (Base Station, Keypad, Door Sensor and one motion sensor) seems to be out of sync. In the last 6 weeks it has happened 4 times that after activating the system via the keypad the motion sensor has reported movement always in the minute after activation. E.g

08:26am Door opened
08:26am Exit Delay started
08:26 am Door closed
08:27am motion detection stopped
08:27 Activated via Keypad
08:27am MOTION DETECTED

and then the alarm countdown starts.

In all the cases I can guarantee that there was nothing in the apartment (no pets whatsoever).

To me it seems that the motion sensor sometimes reports the movement with a delay and therefore setting off the system.

It has never happened that the wrongful detection occurred later than 1 min after exiting.

Has this happened to anyone else as well and is there a way to prevent this!

Thanks in advance

I’m 20F, random people keep coming to my apartment door late at night and yanking the knob trying to get inside, I think a group is trying to get in and squat or break in, I want a camera that will record everything, at the moment I have a blink door bell the latest one that’s on AA batteries and that camera doesn’t record everything, there’s a time limit on how much it can record then it cuts or if the person isn’t there for long realizing they are on camera the camera doesn’t record since they aren’t standing looking at it long enough, but most altercations are longer than 30 seconds, I would like something that captures everything and not cut out when someone’s yanking on the door, I’m concerned if they actually get in the camera won’t actually record that and my evidence is non existent, what kind of camera should I get? I was thinking a ring that’s wired that can record 24/7, my door or actually on the trim has a small little doorbell button that makes a buzzing noise come out of the intercom as an I guess digital doorbell, I think it’s from the 80s?, could I somehow take that button out and use the wires from that if this was the route I’d take, please send me some recommendations on what I should do or what cameras are out there. Thank you for reading!

I unscrewed the faceplate, but I can't get the cover to come off at all at the bottom left; the top won't budge. Any ideas? I'm scared I'm going to break it

I tried posing this on the official Ring support community, but I have gotten no responses. I run a mix of Stick-Up cams and a doorbell cam. Three of the four are powered and one is on a solar panel. All have strong wifi connections.

Within the last few weeks, on the Ring app, all of my 4 cameras are showing "This footage is not available" whenever I try to view snapshots between motion events. I have made no changes to the cameras, internet, or router settings. I have tried resetting my cameras, but there is no change.

Any ideas what could be causing this, or what the fix is?

I've tried searching this but the posts I've seen imply the batteries last at least a few days...but I've had the issue where the battery lasts maybe 24 hours after a charge.

The weird thing is, I did not have to do anything with the battery from probably October until this past week. The same thing happened last summer. I'm in Northeast Florida. I thought I had the camera wired into the existing low voltage doorbell and thought that provided enough power to keep it online. Any advice on what to do? Or am I just stuck recharging the battery regularly during the hot months? Also the camera is not in direct sunlight.

Hi, i’m customizing my own ring and i’m a size 4.25-5. im hoping someone can post their oval halos on a similar ring size to mine. It will be greatly appreciated!!!
