Posted .Hi JoeGlock730.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Ring Car Cam.
Car Cam has a power management system that will turn itself off in advance of ever depleting the vehicle's battery. When a vehicle is parked, Ring Car Cam goes into a low-power monitoring mode.
After a drive, Car Cam may turn off once it detects a certain vehicle battery level in order to ensure you’re able to start your vehicle. The device will turn back on once the vehicle is started. To control how long Car Cam stays active between drives, change its Vehicle Battery Usage setting in the Ring app. This setting allows neighbors to determine how soon Car Cam shuts off based on the neighbor’s driving behavior, battery age, and environment.
Ring does not recommend that neighbors use Car Cam if their vehicle's battery is past its service life. After three years, it is normally time for the battery to be replaced. After four years, most batteries become unreliable.
Things to check:
• Vehicles need to be driven at highway speeds now and then to keep the battery charged.
• If Car Cam turns off too quickly, raise its Vehicle Battery Usage setting.
• If the vehicle won’t be used for a while, unplug accessories like Car Cam to protect its battery.
Ring Car Cam is incompatible with some vehicles for reasons other than the location of the OBD-II port. Some vehicles cut power to the OBD-II port once the vehicle is parked and shut off. To confirm it's not an issue with your battery (rather than the port) that is causing the device to power off, we recommend checking to make sure the battery is still within its service life, followed by driving for 30 minutes to ensure the battery is charged before parking and shutting off the vehicle. If the Car Cam still powers off after following these steps, then it’s likely due to the vehicle cutting power to the OBD-II port.
Visit our support center for a list of vehicles we’ve identified as incompatible so far: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/11964047507732-Car-Cam-Incompatible-Vehicles-and-Accessories.

Poor quality resolution camera...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great design, but poor quality camera, if I need proof of a license plate number I won't be able to provide it in case of an accident... so what's the point of having a poor resolution camera.... I would not recommend it

Died After 4 Months
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Ring Car cam with high hopes. After about 4 months it no longer works. The issue is not with the supplied power cord but with the camera itself. It is completely dead and I have tried everything to get it to work again with no luck. It is a shame because I actually liked the camera.
