Hi AngelitaB.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We understand how important it is for your Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) to function consistently and reliably. The features and technology provided by the Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely assist you with this today to ensure your Ring device is performing optimally.

It sounds like your device is having some connectivity issues. You can troubleshoot poor audio or video quality in Live View by making adjustments to your router. Here are the most common reasons you may be experiencing audio or video quality issues:

If Live View audio and video are poor but recordings are okay:

There could be a poor connection between your mobile device and the server.
There could be a connectivity issue between your Ring doorbell or security camera and the router.

If both Live View and recordings have poor audio and video:

There could be an issue with the wifi signal or data loss.
There could be an issue with your router’s settings.

Audio and video issues while in Live View could also be due to the placement of your router in relation to your device. If it’s behind a couch, in a closet, or otherwise obstructed, try moving it to a new location to get a stronger signal.

Hi RWD3.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having a consistent wifi signal on the Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Generation). Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here to provide you with some information to resolve the connection issue you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not operating as intended. Ring devices require high-speed internet to bring you crisp, clear video and audio. Poor network connectivity can affect the performance of your Ring device. Identify and troubleshoot what is causing connectivity issues for Ring devices to give you the best possible video and audio experience.

To determine whether or not the problem is caused by poor upload speed, run a speed test to determine if your network can support Ring devices. Ring devices with 1080p video require at least 1 Mbps upload and download speeds, though 2 Mbps is recommended for optimal performance. In addition to ensuring that you have sufficient wifi speeds, you will also want to check the signal strength of your device. A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range. The recommended range for optimal performance is 0 to -60 for the RSSI.

Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback and experiences with Ring. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of any further assistance!
