Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Presently on combustion engines they're having serious problems with their software power management system in that it inadvertently shuts the unit down thinking that it has depleted your car battery. Sometimes it stays on for a few minutes sometimes it stays on for a few hours. There doesn't seem to be a fix in the near future.

Check the location of your OBD-II port before installing the device to ensure it can be installed safely. The Ring Car Cam is designed to always be powered on. It doesn't have a built-in battery but safely draws power from the car’s battery through the OBD-II port. Car Cam has a power management system that will turn itself off in advance of ever depleting the vehicle's battery. This happens after a drive, and if Car Cam detects a certain battery level. In the event that happens, you will receive a notification in the Ring App. Click the notification for guidance on steps to take if this happens. Car Cam will power back up once your car turns on again and its battery recharges. We invite you to reach out to our Community if any additional information is needed regarding your question.
