Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Jennifer256.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Outdoor Cam (Formerly known as the Ring Stick Up Cam) record clear and concise videos so that you can effectively monitor your home. The Night Vision feature is an invaluable feature of the Ring Outdoor Cam that allows you to clearly view what’s happening on your property after dark. We can definitely assist you with this today, and we are confident we can find the correct settings for your home’s environment.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected in regards to "Night Vision." To ensure that the "Night Vision" feature works as intended, make sure your Cam’s infrared light is toggled on in the Ring app. The infrared light control is in your Ring app under Video Settings. Enable "Color Night Vision" in the Ring app to help improve clarity at night.

To turn the "Color Night Vision" on or off, follow these instructions:
Open the Ring app.
Tap the "Menu" (☰).
Tap "Devices."
Select the device you want to adjust.
Tap "Device Settings."
Tap "Video Settings."
Toggle "Color Night Vision" on or off.

Although rare, there have been instances where a Ring device can experience black, pink, and other distorted video quality, like night vision video captured during daytime hours. Here are a few things to try.

Check your Ring device's signal strength.
If your Ring device is far from your wifi router, it may be experiencing connection or video issues.
Open the Ring app.
Tap the "Menu" (☰).
Tap "Devices."
Select the Ring device you would like to test.
Tap on the "Device Health" tile.
Scroll to "Signal Strength" under the "Network" section.
The green, amber, and red colors are indicators of your device connection. Green is good; red is poor.

Reboot your Ring device in the Ring app.

Open the Ring app.
Tap the "Menu" (☰).
Tap "Devices."
Select the device that you wish to reboot.
Tap on the "Device Health" tile.
Scroll down to "Reboot This Device."
Give your device a few moments to start back up.

Regarding your concern about theft protection, we want to provide some clarity on the current policy. Ring's theft replacement program applies to devices purchased directly from ring.com. Devices purchased from other retailers or third-party sellers are not eligible for theft replacement under this policy. We understand this can be disappointing, and we appreciate your feedback on this matter.

We invite you to reach out to our community if any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Outdoor Cam. The Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another by sharing their feedback and experiences with each other.

Thank you,
