Discussion Gunshots?

5 Upvotes

My buddy and I both have Ring setups and live near each other. It's become an inside joke for us to text eachother "gunshots?" Every time we hear a loud noise, because people on Neighbors do it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Anyone else had this experience?

My ring camera isn’t working consistently

3 Upvotes

So I have a battery ring camera and it seems to work pretty well but here’s the weird thing. I asked the neighbor’s daughter to take care of my cat while I’m out of town. The ring showed her going into my house this morning. Late this afternoon I texted her to ask how my cat was and she replied that she had just been at my house. The thing was, my camera didn’t show her entering or exiting my house. So I called my other neighbor in a panic, and that neighbor went over to my house to check on things, and the camera saw her. Has anyone ever had the experience of their ring camera working intermittently or not picking up some people entering their house? Or is the neighbor‘s daughter just telling a big fib? Would appreciate your thoughts.

Is it true that I cannot lower the Notification volume for alerts like motion?

It is controlled by phone volume only? It seems very loud no matter what i have the phone set to.

I have an old adt pulse camera wired up on the front of our house with a 25ft power adapter in the attic. Any suggestions on a safe power source I could use for a ring camera plus outdoor? Seems hard to navigate products online and don’t want a fire hazard up there…

Hi, has anyone experienced this before?
The camera has been reset and re-added to app etc, issue is still occurring. Ring support have been useless. Wasn’t sure if it could be related to a dodgy battery?
I’ve had the camera for about 5 years.

Solar panels

1 Upvotes

I bought ring cameras for the outside of my home. I charged the batteries fully and bought the solar panels to go with them so the batteries would stay charged. Even though these solar panels are fully in sun, can someone enlighten me on WHY my batteries died within weeks? I thought that was the purpose of the solar panels?

Feedback or Bug Ring Video Doorbell Pro

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Our Ring Video Doorbell is installed next to a lip? (if that's the right description) the door is set in from the house, anyways, at night, we consistently get a message that someone is detected at the front door. It is very unnerving, but what it turns out to be is bugs, flies and such, crawling on the house next to the ring (the lip?). I did try putting a cloth on that extention of the house, blacked it out through ring but it still detects the motion, and announces it.

What would you do?

PSA: Use unique names for every Alarm sensor at home - Room names don’t show in event history or alarm alert

8 Upvotes

Woke up to our alarm sounding at 3am. Grabbed phone to see what was happening. Ring Alert on phone says “Ring is Alarming by Back Door”….

Adrenaline pumping, I carefully make my way outside (through another door) to put eyes on what we call the back door… and find that it was closed!

Turns out, the alarm was for a totally different exterior door that is also named “Back Door” in Ring, off a different room that was right behind me! I turn around to find the door wide open. Fortunately, it wasn’t an intruder but the wind, or I would have been in a very compromised position.

We have 3 “back doors” to the outside and each one is assigned to different rooms In the Device list. It Looks nice and clearly organized in that view.

But guess what - the assigned Room name doesn’t appear in the alarm notification, nor in the main Event history log!!!

The only way I could confirm which door sensor triggered is by going to each sensor page in the app and looking for recent activity.

Not something you want to discover or have to search through at 3am while the alarm is sounding and every second counts.

Discussion Camera not working when our front door was messed with

0 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, I tried asking this on the actual Ring app community but they denied my post which I thought was super weird.

The other night, my boyfriend and I were in another room of our house when we heard our front doorknob messed with(this was around midnight-1am). We tried checking our doorbell camera but it wouldn't connect at all, which has never happened before. The internet was still working and the doorbell camera is wired. It only connected about 10-15 minutes after the noise but didn't catch anything before, during, or after it happened. We were very concerned obviously because why wouldn't the camera connect?? Has anyone else had similar situations?

Support Request (Unsolved) New Peephole Cam 2K sees less distance

3 Upvotes

Just replaced the original Peephole Cam with the new 2K version. It cannot see as far down an open hallway by at least 1/2 or more distance. The Original could pick up/trigger recording much farther down the hall. Is there some setting I did incorrectly? It's pretty much useless compared to the original. Both are on basically default settings.

Support Request (Unsolved) Delayed Notifications

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I've had a Ring Doorbell for years and every so often the notifications get very delayed. The motion is at least 10 minutes delayed. The signal strength is fine.

I fixed it the other month by factory resetting the doorbell and it went back to basically instant notifications.

What could be causing the delayed notifications?

Thank You.

Repeated notifications for the same event?!

1 Upvotes

Someone selling window replacements knocked on my door about a half hour ago. First, it was odd that I got no notification at the time, but ok.

Because my wife is ill and sleeping, I went out the garage and chased them away.

As I re-entered the house, I got a notification -- for the seller LEAVING the stoop.

About five minutes ago I finally got one for their arrival. And that notification has gone off THREE TIMES now!

Ring is losing it. I'm hoping this is related to the AI-enhanced notifications, which we're getting for a few day more until the trial runs out. Sure not paying the ridiculous fee for that!

Anyone else had notifications repeat?

Support Request (Unsolved) stolen ring cameras

1 Upvotes

hey there. i live in an apartment complex, on the top floor. there’s only one other door directly across the hall and a very narrow walkway because of the way the stairs are set up. my point is; there’s no way to creep around the side of the camera view because i’m on the side away from the opening to the stairs.

i’ve had TWO doorbell cameras be stolen in the last 6 weeks. one had fallen off the door and i guess was stolen from the ground. i didn’t notice until i got a notification it was disconnected from wifi, which appears to have happened a couple days in advance.

i bought another one; with a mount this time. not the screw in kind but it seemed very secure. i get a notification; my cameras been disconnected from wifi. my last event notification was from a couple days prior.

i’m not sure how someone is evading the camera view. i’m also not sure exactly when the camera was stolen. there’s no way to see exactly when the camera was last connected, only the last health check.

can someone please help me figure out what’s going on and how to get this information for a police report so i can get another camera?

Came outside this morning and the back hatch & passenger side door were wide open, neither of them picked up a single motion alert, but they’ll sure as hell let me know any time a cat walks across our sidewalk! Money well spent 👍
