Hi IrmsC.

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 Spotlight Cam Pro. 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. Spotlight Cam Pro is an outdoor security camera that includes advanced video, audio, connectivity, and motion detection features. The product provides outdoor coverage for common blind spot areas in clear HDR. Usually, devices falling offline repeatedly is related to poor wifi connectivity caused by signal fluctuations, channel congestion, or data loss.

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 edition 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.

If your networking equipment hasn’t been power cycled in a while, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. Wireless networks utilize different channels for communication. In the United States, the 2.4 GHz band uses channels 1-11 and the 5 GHz band uses channels 36-165.

Hi Gleez03.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We understand the importance of your Ring Spotlight Cam Pro working consistently and reliably. Being able to save, download, and review footage captured by your Ring Spotlight Cam Pro is a valuable feature of the Ring Protect Plan. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.

It sounds like there was some confusion regarding the functionality of your device with and without a Ring Protect Plan. The Ring Protect Plan is a subscription that gives you access to paid features for Ring devices. With a Ring Protect Plan, you can save, review, and share video recordings from your Ring devices to your Ring account.

Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events.

Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors.

All the best,
Nicole from Ring.

Hello MarkA

Thank you for sharing your experience. If your Spotlight Cam Pro Plug-In has become unresponsive, try giving it a reboot by pressing and holding the setup button on it for 20–25 seconds. If it is still unresponsive, you will want to verify that the outlet it is connected to is still working and providing power. These steps should help with your concern.

Best wishes
Ivan from Ring
