Hi WillieB.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to read that you are enjoying your new Ring Battery Doorbell! We believe in keeping people close to what’s important. That is why we are driven to create products that help you protect what matters most at home and empower you to connect with your visitors from wherever you are. Together, we’ll make neighborhoods safer!

It sounds like you are concerned with the need for the Ring Home Plan subscription. The Ring Home Plan provides valuable capabilities, such as accessing paid features and the ability to save, download, and review footage captured by your Ring device. Without a Ring Home Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events.

Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips and Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors. We invite you to visit our Ring Community today.

Thank you,
Miyuki from Ring.

Hi Austen.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Battery Doorbell to function consistently and reliably, so you can effectively monitor your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Battery Doorbell are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We want to ensure your device is working as intended by providing you with solutions to resolve the concern you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected with motion detection. We would be happy to share some tips to help optimize your motion settings for your environment. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place. This includes increasing the Motion Sensitivity and setting Motion Frequency to Frequently in the Ring app. To optimize your motion zones and ensure that the device will detect accurately, please follow these steps: Open the Ring app to the main dashboard. Tap more on the camera you want to access. Tap your device's Settings. Tap Motion Settings. Tap Camera Motion Zones. Tap Add Zone. Drag the points to set your boundary and tap Save. Note: If you are using a battery-powered device, you may need to toggle on Advanced Motion Detection under Advanced Settings before you can add customizable Motion Zones. To adjust an existing Motion Zone, tap the Zone you want to adjust, then drag the points of the Zone to do so, and tap Save. Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling Smart Alerts for people only in your Ring app. To enable Smart Alerts: Open the Ring app to the main dashboard. Tap more on the camera you want to access. Tap your device's Settings. Tap Motion Settings. Tap Smart Alerts. Choose your preferred alerts for Person, Vehicle and Other Motion.

Regarding the video quality concern, poor wifi can often cause Ring device issues, including reduced video clarity. We recommend checking your signal strength by following these steps in the Ring app: Tap the menu (☰), then tap the device you want to adjust. Tap Device Settings. Tap the Device Health tile. Under the Network section, you will see your device's Signal Strength. If your Signal Strength (RSSI) is amber or red, your Ring device likely has a poor connection to your location's wifi. If your phone or tablet has poor service or internet, it could also be affecting Live View or your video downloads. Try turning Bluetooth off, then open Live View or view a recorded Ring video. If issues persist, rebooting your Ring doorbell may help: Open the Ring app. Tap the top menu, then Devices. Choose your device. Tap the Device Settings tile. Tap Device Health. Scroll down and tap Reboot This Device. Wait a few minutes for your device to reboot.
