No Geofencing

My Nest has geofencing, my Canary has geofencing, why doesn't my Ring have geofencing?
This is a real shortfall in the software and it wouldn't be hard to add.
It's a pain in the neck to have to repeatedly disable the alarm and there is no chance I'll remember to turn it on whenever I leave the house.
Thinking seriously about returning it.

Hello JohnM,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your feature request. Our top priority at Ring is to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience with our products. We really appreciate your feedback. Our team is always striving to improve our products and their performance.
We are happy to let you know that we now have a geofencing option. A geofence is a virtual perimeter or invisible boundary around a particular geographic location. When you configure a geofence in the Ring app, the Ring app can remind you to set your Mode to “Away” when you exit the geofence. When you come home and re-enter the geofence, your Ring app can automatically snooze alerts from your security cameras and doorbells. For steps on how to set up geofencing in your Ring App, please see our help center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052805372-Geofence-in-the-Ring-App.

Im really disappointed with the night vision part of this unti cause when i put it up against my $99.00 dollar unti its not as good, so i will be returning it to buy the more expensive one cause for $40.00 dollars i dont want to sacrifice picture quality.
Hi Cowboyfan. I understand how important night vision can be. It's important to ensure that there are no other light sources in the area, as this allows the infrared lights to work their best. If you have any further questions or concerns, try browsing the Ring Community at https://community.ring.com/. As our first peer-to-peer forum, the Ring Community allows you to ask questions and interact with other neighbors to discuss your Ring devices. Best wishes, David with Ring.

Can't turn off video or sound feed.

Couldn't turn the camera and mic off. You could "stop it from recording" but the mic and camera were always picking up sound and video. Only way to stop this was to disconnect the setup. I wasn't comfortable with this and I was even less comfortable with ring after I saw the fiasco about "privileged higher ups" being able to watch and listen to your feed at their leisure. I do not recommend this camera if you do not get unlimited data for you internet monthly. I don't know if they fixed the security problem yet. Get a cctv security system that saves a backup to dropbox/cloud or something.

Wifi is glitchy and it only connects to the 2.4gh network
Hi Killluminati. Being able to rely in your Indoor Cam is key in order to have some peace of mind. A 2.4GHz wifi network should provide sufficient speeds, as long as your Indoor Cam is receiving a stable signal. To learn more about wifi and how to improve your signal, check out this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020044511-How-to-Make-Wifi-Work-For-You.

Love Ring (have 7 cameras), but this one has lost connection to my WiFi twice. I was out of town both times and monitoring workmen. Shucks. One more time and it goes back.
Pros-decent resolution; triggers fine when connected
Cons-disconnects from WiFi; audio could be improved

I loved the camera but I kept getting messages about a subscription. I asked before I bought it if you had to have for it to work. I was told no. I found out after 30 days you only get live feed so what good is that if someone breaks in because I wouldn't have video of it. I returned it for a Kasa TP-LINK older model which does not require a subscription and it does give you 2 days of video. I just go in daily and delete them. If there were an incident I could forward the video to myself and give it to the authorities.

Hi Nannychell, I definitely understand the importance of knowing what you're getting from your home security devices. The Ring Protect plan is an optional subscription that offers extra features for your Indoor Cam, including video recording. Without a Ring Protect plan, you can still receive notifications and activate Live View. For more information, check out this article from our Help Center https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001671383-General-Information-on-Ring-Protect-Subscription-Plans. Best wishes, Ashley from Ring.

Returned due to lack of security!?!

I had a Ring doorbell at my last house and was very happy with it, so recently purchased their security system. However given Ring's poor response after the hacking of their cameras, I returned this product, unopened.
Ring is representing themselves as a security option for the DIY homeowner and yet apparently did not provide the homeowner the technical protocol needed to protect themselves when using a Ring device.
And then when problems arose, Ring blamed the homeowner.
I will look to find a better system/company for my security needs, one that provides a safe product and quality customer service.

Hello KcJoe
We understand the importance of having a seamless setup experience and how it can be concerning to see that the Ring Indoor Cam will not set up accordingly. Rest assured, that it is a top priority for us to get this working for you.
The Indoor Cam is designed to work in many environments to provide you with peace of mind and security.
If you're not able to successfully complete a setup, try rebooting your modem and/or router. Since your router and modem are usually the hardest working devices in your house, these devices like to be rebooted about once a month for optimal performance.
To reboot these devices, follow the instructions below:
Unplug your router or model 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.
Confirm that your internet has been restored by connecting another device to your wifi network and trying to access a website, then repeat the setup process.
When you’ve tried everything else, and setting up your Ring device still isn’t succeeding, try performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset on any Ring product, hold down the setup button for just over 15 seconds and then release it.
For any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/. You can also visit our help site, https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us, for tips & tricks, videos and help articles for all our Ring products.
