Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Steveo282. Being able to clearly see visitors at your door is an important concern. If the night vision isn't clear, it may require some troubleshooting or adjustments to the angle of your Doorbell, especially if there is a wall or other object that could be obstructing the infrared lights on your Doorbell. For more information on night vision, check out this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038559351-Understanding-Color-Night-Vision-and-Troubleshooting-Night-Vision.

Hello Brenda,

At Ring, we strive for excellent service and support for every one of our customers. Ring is very proud of our team members and can assure you that your happiness and overall satisfaction with Ring is our top priority. We appreciate your feedback with regard to the experience that you have had with our support team. Rest assured, we are still here to help you resolve your Floodlight Camera’s night vision concerns and ensure you have a security device you can rely on.
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. Here is a helpful article that walks you through how to enable this feature: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038559351-Understanding-Color-Night-Vision-and-Troubleshooting-Night-Vision.

Hi Workoutpartner.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Wired Doorbell Pro record clear and concise videos so that you can effectively monitor your home. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro was designed to provide accurate motion detection, which plays an essential role in providing the peace of mind that Ring strives for. We are here today to provide you with solutions that will assist you in finding the best device settings for your home’s environment.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected in regards to motion detection and video quality. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This camera uses adjustable motion detection and runs on passive infrared sensors. The system identifies visitors via a moving heat signature and sends a notification to your smart device when one is detected. It is designed to detect motion up to 30 feet from where the camera is mounted. We recommend mounting the doorbell no higher than 5 feet from the ground. You can adjust three preset motion zones and their distances under the "Motion Settings" tab on the device's page in the Ring app. Additionally, you can choose how often the camera checks for movement in those predefined zones via the "Motion Frequency" setting.

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. We are happy to share some troubleshooting steps to help you diagnose and fix common video issues that you may experience with Ring doorbells and cameras.

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. Turn off your mobile device's cellular data and connect to the same wifi network as your Ring device. Open the Ring app. Tap the menu (☰). Tap “Devices.” Select your device. Trigger an event on your Ring doorbell. This could mean pressing the button on a doorbell or activating the motion sensors on a camera. Answer the event and examine the resulting video.

We have listed some possible outcomes from this test here:

1. The footage is crisp and clear.

If your video appears good when next to the router, the issue may be caused by a disruption in between your router and your Ring device’s normal location. To fix this, try moving your device closer to the router or extending your wifi signal with a wifi extender like the Ring Chime Pro.

2. The footage is heavily pixelated.

If you’re seeing heavy pixilation, even next to the router, this may be due to slow wifi speeds.

Hello,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your Ring Doorbell Pro 2 wifi connectivity concerns with us directly. Rest assured, we are here to help you resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Having a consistent and reliable wifi source for the device to connect to is important. This ensures that all visitors are captured, and you don't have to walk through multiple setups to reconnect the device.

If you have a continuous problem with your device disconnecting from wifi or a weak signal and your router is behind a couch, or in a closet, or otherwise physically obstructed, try moving your router. In this case, we may suggest purchasing a Ring Chime Pro. The Chime Pro acts as a wifi extender as well as an audible doorbell chime. When you are reconnecting a device that has disconnected from wifi, you can connect to the Chime Pro Network instead of selecting your home wifi network, which can boost performance if there is a significant distance between your router and the Ring device.

Ring Community was launched in March 2019 to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our customers. You can find tips and tricks from other Ring users at https://community.ring.com/. This peer-to-peer forum allows our neighbors to share their feedback and experiences to assist each other in resolving their concerns.

Hi LarryA.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of a seamless setup process so that you can begin using your Ring Wired Doorbell Pro right away. The features and technology provided by the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the connection concern mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. The Ring Wired Doorbell Pro is designed to work with your home's wifi network and is compatible with b/g/n wifi networks operating on 2.4 or 5GHz frequencies. If you're receiving a 'Setup did not complete' message and cannot finish setup, it could be due to one of these common causes of setup failures:

* Your Ring device is too far from your wifi router. Ideally, your router should be within 20 feet of your Ring device.
* There's a possible problem with your internet connection.
* There's a possible issue related to your wifi modem or router.

Make sure your wifi router is off the floor.
Walls, floors, and furniture can interfere or weaken your router’s wireless signal. Choose an elevated, central, open location.
Make sure you're entering the correct password. Passwords are case sensitive and do not include spaces. Your network password can often be found on the bottom or side of your router.

Wifi passwords are case and special character (such as *,@,$, or #) sensitive. Double check letter capitalization and placement.
If you haven't changed your wifi password since your router was installed, it may be on a sticker on the underside of your router.
Connect other devices to your wifi network using your last remembered password to verify it is still correct.

If you have multiple networks or a wifi extender, confirm you are connecting to the correct one.
Make sure to connect to the 2.4 GHz network, not 5 GHz. All Ring devices can connect to 2.4 GHz, while only select Ring devices have Dual-Band Wifi to be able to connect to either.
If you’re still having issues, try holding down the reset button on top of the camera for 20 seconds. Before you reset your device, make sure to download any videos in your account.

If you are attempting to connect to a community wifi network, you may need to reach out to your internet service provider to manually add the MAC ID of the Ring device to allow it to connect to your wifi.
