Posted .Hi Tshally.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is to have your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus capture motion events as intended. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus was designed to capture motions based on your specifications to help keep your home secure. We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the missed motion issue you mentioned in your review.
It sounds like the device is not performing as expected in regards to motion detection. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This camera uses adjustable motion detection and runs on passive infrared sensors. The system identifies visitors via a moving heat signature and sends a notification to your smart device when one is detected. You can adjust three preset motion zones and their distances under the "Motion Settings" tab on the device's page in the Ring app. If you have already increased the sensitivity, as mentioned in your review, you can choose how often the camera checks for movement in those predefined zones via the "Motion Frequency" setting. If you find that your camera is missing some motions, please set the motion frequency to "Frequently."
Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling the "Smart Alerts" feature for people only in your Ring app. To enable "Smart Alerts," please follow these steps:
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the device that you want to adjust.
Tap "Motion Settings."
Tap "Smart Alerts."
Tap "Enable Feature."
Tap "Continue."
Select the notification options that you want for "Person" and "Other Motion."
You'll see a video camera where you can select or de-select recording and a bell icon to represent alert notifications.
After you've adjusted your settings, tap "Done."

Posted .Hi BrendaW.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home, especially if you are away for long periods of time. We are here to provide you with some education to resolve the battery life issue you mentioned in your review.
There are some troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal performance.
As cold weather sets in, lithium-ion batteries like those used in Ring Doorbells and Security Cameras may experience several issues including trouble holding a charge, running out of power faster than normal, or losing functionality. Knowing at what temperature batteries will start to be impacted can help you take the necessary steps to keep your device working. When the temperature drops to:
36°F (3°C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in having to charge the unit more frequently.
32°F (0°C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery.
-5°F (-20.5°C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up.
When it gets cold and your device's battery runs out, bring your entire device inside and charge the battery with a USB cord. This will allow your device to warm up while the battery charges.
The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using Live View often can also drain your battery faster. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner. To prevent excessive activity, under Motion Settings for your device in the Ring app you can:
Adjust your Motion Sensitivity slider to a lower sensitivity.
Redraw your Customizable Motion Zones.
Change Motion Frequency to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.
You can go to Power Settings in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.
To access Power Settings, open the Ring app:
Tap menu (≡) on the top left of the Dashboard.
Tap Devices.
Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
Tap Power Settings to check your Battery Level percentage and Feature Power Usage .
Tap a feature to adjust Snapshot Capture, Motion Frequency and Video Recording Length.
If any additional information is needed regarding the battery life of your device, please reach out to our Community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.
Thank you for being the best part of Ring! Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Melissa from Ring.

Posted .Hi DennisS.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We understand how important it is to have your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus capture all the correct motion events. Being able to rely on the alerts to know when someone is at your door is an essential feature of the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus. We are here today to provide you with information to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.
It sounds like your device is not detecting the motion as you are wanting it to. For optimal motion detection, you should mount the doorbell about 4 feet (1.20 meters) above the ground. If you want to angle the doorbell down for a better view, wedge kits are available for purchase. When setting up the motion detection settings for your device, we recommend using the motion wizard in the Ring app for optimal settings. Follow these steps to use this helpful feature:
Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
Tap Devices.
Tap the relevant device.
Tap Motion Settings.
Tap the magic wand icon in the top-right corner to launch Motion Wizard.
Here you can get help to reduce, increase, or improve your motion alerts.
Visit our support center for more tips and tricks to optimize the motion detection and battery life of your device.

We are here today to provide you with information to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.
It sounds like your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is not picking up the motion you are wanting it to. The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus offers advanced motion detection and customizable motion zones. For optimal performance of these features, you will want to mount the doorbell about 4 feet (1.20 meters) above the ground. If your device is mounted too high, you may not get the motion detection you are looking for. A wedge kit (sold separately) can be used to angle your device down. This is helpful if your device is mounted higher than 4 feet (1.20 meters) above the ground, if it is installed on angled siding, or if your entryway is atop a set of stairs.
Once you've confirmed your device is mounted at the proper height for optimal performance, if you are still having trouble with motion detection, we invite you to reach out to our support team. We would be happy to assist further in finding the optimal settings for your home's environment.

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." Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is Ring’s upgraded smart doorbell with super clear HD+ video and expanded head-to-toe field of view. From package deliveries and motion detection to visitors, you’ll see it all from wherever you are right in the Ring app. To ensure that the "Night Vision" feature works as intended, make sure your Indoor 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 Battery Doorbell Plus 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.

Posted .Hi FlavioC.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here today to provide you with information to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.
It sounds like your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus wifi signal is not very strong. A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Follow these steps to check wifi signal strength—or RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)—in the Ring app:
Open the Ring app.
Tap the Menu (☰).
Tap Devices and select the Ring device you'd like to check.
Tap the Device Health tile.
Under the Network section, look for Signal Strength.
If the RSSI value listed is green, your device has a strong signal. If it is grey, amber, or red, it may have a moderate to weak signal.
The larger the number after "RSSI-" the weaker the signal.
For example, a device displaying "RSSI-36" has a stronger signal than a device showing "RSSI-64."

Posted .Hi JaimePeri.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles. It is critical for a home security device to have enough power to keep your device online and ready to protect you. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the battery life concern that you mentioned in your review.
It sounds like you are using the Ring Solar Panel with your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus to help extend the battery life of your device. We are happy to share some steps that you can take to ensure that you have your device set up for optimal battery-life performance. The more events captured by your Ring devices, the more your battery is used. Using "Live View" can also drain your battery faster. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events each day, you may need to recharge your battery sooner.
To prevent excessive activity, under "Motion Settings" for your device in the Ring app, you can:
Adjust your "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a lower sensitivity.
Redraw your "Customizable Motion Zones."
Change "Motion Frequency" to regularly or periodically.
You could also adjust the direction of your Ring device so it doesn't detect as much motion.
You can go to "Power Settings" in the Ring app to see what features may be draining your battery.
To access "Power Settings," open the Ring app:
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left of the dashboard.
Tap "Devices."
Tap the individual device (video doorbell or security camera) you want to check.
Tap "Power Settings" to check your "Battery Level" percentage and "Feature Power Usage."
Tap a feature to adjust "Snapshot Capture," "Motion Frequency," and "Video Recording Length.".
If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, we invite you to reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.
Thank you for being the best part of Ring! Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Melissa from Ring.

If you are installing your doorbell without connecting to an existing in-home chime, please follow these steps: 1. Optional: Install the corner mount. If installing on a wood surface, screw the bracket directly into the wall. If installing on a masonry surface, mark two screw holes using the bracket as a guide. Drill pilot holes using a 1/4" drill bit. Insert the wall anchors from Bag C, then drive the medium bracket screws through the bracket into the wall anchors. WARNING! Only use the included corner bracket screws when securing the corner bracket. CAUTION! Do not drill or drive screws into your home's electrical wiring. 2. Mount your doorbell to the wall or corner bracket. Remove the short mounting screws from Bag A. If installing on a wood surface, screw the doorbell directly into the wall. If installing on a masonry surface, mark 4 screw holes using the doorbell as a guide. Drill pilot holes using a 1/4" drill bit. Insert the wall anchors, then drive the short mounting screws through the mounting plate into the wall anchors. If using a corner mount, use the short bracket screws from Bag C to secure your doorbell to the bracket. WARNING! Only use the included corner bracket screws when securing the corner bracket. WARNING! Only use the included wall mounting screws when securing the doorbell. CAUTION! Do not drill or drive screws into your home's electrical wiring. 3. Insert the battery and secure the faceplate. CAUTION! If you use the wrong screws to secure the faceplate, you could damage the battery during installation, create a fire hazard, and be seriously injured. DO NOT USE any screw other than the included short security screws when securing the faceplate. Lastly, use the included screwdriver to insert and tighten one of the security screws from Bag B. Your Ring doorbell is now ready to use.

Posted .Hi GailTeicher, I understand the importance of having your Battery Doorbell Plus ring your internal chime kit. While this is a battery powered Ring Doorbell, it can be hardwired to an existing doorbell circuit to ring a compatible chime kit. You can reference the installation instructions here https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/13096312125332. Once the doorbell is properly installed, it should ring your chime kit when someone presses the button. If you still have questions, feel free to ask other neighbors on the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. Best, Ashley from Ring.

Horrible buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The annoying thing is that the battery dies really fast and its not stand alone its connected to the wire. This is the worst and if its connected to the wire the battery should be recharging.

Posted .Hi ChristyP.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We understand how critical it is for your hard wiring to function as intended in order to supply power to your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus. It is critical for a home security device to have enough power to keep your device online and ready to protect you. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.
It sounds like your device is not receiving enough power to stay charged. When connecting to an existing doorbell system, it should be hardwired to a transformer rated between 8 and 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 5VA to 40VA. When your Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is wired to your home's electricity and receiving power, the ring on the front of the device will display a solid white light. Visit our support center for more information.
