      Hello BBaddict,

      Thank you for leaving a review and sharing your feedback. Ring understands the importance of having the motion detection work as intended. It is a valuable feature that is designed to notify you as to who may be near your home. Please know that it is a priority for us to be of assistance and find a resolution to your concern.

      Based on your review, it seems that you are having trouble with your Ring Indoor Camera picking up the correct motion. The Indoor Cam uses infrared motion capturing to detect motion, within its field of view. You can use the Ring app to determine the Indoor Cam’s motion detection range and the specific zones where motion will trigger a smart alert. These settings help ensure that the Indoor Cam will capture the events you want to see and ignore the ones you don’t. Here is a helpful article with more information on how to resolve motion concerns with your device: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021842611-Utilizing-Motion-Zones-With-Your-Powered-Ring-Devices.

      If after trying these steps, you are still experiencing issues, we would love to investigate this further with you. Please feel free to check out our community forum at https://community.ring.com/ for additional tips and support!

      Thank you, Jamila with Ring. Ring

      Hello Jeff,

      We appreciate you bringing your Ring Indoor camera experience to our attention. The Indoor Cam is a smaller next-generation security camera specifically designed to be used indoors to bolster the security around your home. This device also features 1080p full HD resolution, two-way audio, HD video recording, and a wide viewing angle. Please know that it is a priority for us to be of assistance and find a resolution to your concern.

      After reading your review, it seems that your indoor camera is having trouble staying connected to your home wifi. When this occurs, we recommend rebooting your wifi modem and router. For optimal performance, since your router and modem are usually the hardest-working devices in your house, you should reboot them about once a month. To reboot routers or modems, follow the instructions below:

      Unplug your router or modem from its power supply (don’t just turn it off).

      If your router and modem are separate, unplug both of them.

      Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug them back in.

      Wait for your internet to be restored.

      Here is a helpful article that walks you through additional steps to take if the issue still persists for you after your modem/router reboot: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023559372-Fixing-Your-Devices-Falling-Offline-Repeatedly-by-Adjusting-Your-Router.

      Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users, like yourself, have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to issues they have experienced: https://community.ring.com/.

    I bought this to monitor pets when we are away from home. Then shortly after purchase a news article came out about these cams being hacked. I did some research after this and didn't like what I found. The makers of this cam came out with a response which pretty much put the security flaw upon the user. Im not one to share passwords and such. The company's response to negative reports was the icing on the cake so I promptly returned product.

      Hi JMVD. I understand the importance of being able to rely on your Indoor Cam for peace of mind. In the event of a power outage, your Indoor Cam will automatically try to reconnect to the wifi network once power and wifi has been restored. If it is not able to connect, the signal may not be strong enough. To learn more about signal strength and how to improve this, check out this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217271526-Understanding-RSSI-and-Wifi-Signal-Strength. If that doesn't help and you have additional questions, you can search the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/ to find solutions from other neighbors. Best wishes, Ashley from Ring. Ring

      Hi DianaN. It's important to be able to rely on your Indoor Cam to have some peace of mind about your home. The Ring Indoor Cam offers a 1080p resolution and it receives power via the included power cable plugged into a standard wall outlet. If you're noticing video in a lower resolution, it may be due to Adaptive Video Play, which you can read more about here: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032437812-Poor-Quality-Video-Image-and-Adaptive-Video-Play.

      Hello Whitenake12a,

      We can understand the importance of the video displaying correctly. The Indoor Cam is intended to provide you access to the camera for your peace of mind. Here at Ring, we take your security and peace of mind seriously. Please know that we are here to ensure that we can find a resolution together.

      Certain models of Ring devices have a night vision feature that allows you to see through the camera in low light conditions. By using infrared light, the camera can create a black and white image that is then beamed to the Live View in your app. By turning the color night vision feature on, the camera will use whatever ambient light is available to try and create a "false color" image in your Live View. This lets you get a better sense of what's happening in the image by creating a false sense of color depth.

      This article will answer commonly asked questions concerning color night vision and can help resolve this pressing matter: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038559351-Understanding-Color-Night-Vision-and-Troubleshooting-Night-Vision

    What a scam. If you purchase the subscription, it works pretty good. If you are out of subscription, with the motion settings set to minimal, it goes off incessantly. Call them, and they tell you to get on subscription. Find another competitor that works without subscription. I wouldn't wish this on my enemy.

      Hi none. Getting too many motion alerts from your Indoor Cam can distract you during the day, but this can usually be helped by making some changes to your settings. Since everyone's home environment and preferences are different, you may need to play around with the motion settings available to figure out what works best for you. To get started, review the information in this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050360052-Customizing-Motion-Zones-for-Video-Doorbells-and-Security-Cameras.
