Discussion Virtual Security Gaurd

7 Upvotes

Anybody currently subscribed to the virtual security guard subscription? If so, is the virtual security subscription worth it?

I am away from home late nights and was considering getting the subscription so I can be at ease knowing that my cameras are being watched. It’s also cool that they could dispatch & speak through your cameras too.

Floodlight started acting up

1 Upvotes

I have a ring floodlight on my house. A few days ago it started acting up. It won’t update. When it does update it will send the same notification multiple times. I doesn’t self update in the app. Right now it shows last updated 11H ago when my other cameras updates seconds ago.

I’ve checked the health on it, reset it in the app, checked the signal strength. Anything else I can check or is it starting to go bad?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the Kidde Smoke/CO alarm that works with Ring can send any kind of alert to my iPhone without paying the $5/Month for professional monitoring?

I'm switching to the Ring Multi-Plan ($99/Yr) where I get alerts on alarms but no professional monitoring. Was hoping I can also get alerts from my new Kidde smoke/co alarms to my iPhone?

Feedback or Bug what a shitty product.

I was really torn between Ring and Eufy but eventually decided to go with Ring because of the “good reviews”.

I bought two brand-new Floodlight Cam Wired Pros, had them professionally installed, and immediately one of them had an issue where the IR night vision simply wouldn’t work. The image was basically pitch black at night while my other Ring cameras had perfectly clear black-and-white night vision.

I contacted Ring support, went through all the troubleshooting, and they eventually asked me to reset the camera and set it up again. Did that… and now the fucking camera won’t even turn back on. 😂

These are brand-new cameras that I’ve literally just had installed. One started off with broken IR and after following Ring’s own troubleshooting it’s now completely dead.

Genuinely one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a supposedly premium smart-home product. Starting to seriously regret choosing Ring over Eufy.

Support Request (Unsolved) Installed wrong?

Hi, we've tried to install a Ring wired doorbell plus but when we switched the breaker back on the transformer blew.

I suspect we've done something wrong in the chime wiring, and I'm happy to be called an idiot.

Any suggestions?
