Stick-Up Cam Not Recognizing Wired
trending

Hi, I just noticed earlier today that one of my two stick-up cameras had a symbol signifying that it was not connected to power. It has a battery in it and it is also wired. It's not recognizing that it is wired even though it is at a constant 100%. I tried troubleshooting it by switching it to Battery Mode and then attempting to switch it back to Wired Mode but it won't allow me to do so since it is not recognizing it is plugged it. Other than that so far the camera is working.

      Is there something we need to do to reset it? I still get the message that it's not plugged into power. I don't have time to call right now but was hoping your team had some direction on the process. Thanks.

      So I called support and was escalated to a top tier support level supposedly. They were unable to help and are now sending a Ring adapter to see if that works. I'm currently using 3rd party adapters which worked perfectly find for 3 months. I refuse to buy new adapters since the ones I have should work and also have much longer wires than the official Ring versions. This better not be a ploy by Ring to force people to buy Ring brand accessories.

      @Caitlyn_Ring. Not fixed. No one’s is fixed. Whatever you did didn’t work.

    Hi @SCT. Can you please let me know which model of Stick Up Cam you have? You can locate the model name on the Device Health page in the Ring app. There are several different versions of the Stick Up Cam, so it helps to know which device we're working with. A good troubleshooting step to try is to perform a quick reboot in the Ring app using the reboot option on the Device Health page.

      Stick Up Cam Solar (3rd Gen). I did try rebooting but it did not fix it. Camera is working entirely fine. Just not recognizing it's wired, via RING Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter plug. I think it is recognizing that it is connected to the Solar Panel but I stopped using solar over a year ago as it didn't provide enough power for the current settings I have set.

      I used to use the solar panel as well, but switched to the OEM outdoor wire for power (battery still inside). I even tried doing a reset (big mistake). I ran a non-oem power cable through the wall to take the current outside. In order to set it up again I had to use the OEM power cable otherwise I got the "power not connected, try again?" message. So I set it up using the OEM, and even with that it still gave me the error. So as the previous person has said it works just fine, thinking it's on solar, which isn't a problem, it's more of an annoyance of it showing "power disconnected" message and icon on the camera thumbnail. Not a hug thing, just annoying. But if people try to switch it to battery and then back, without doing a full restore or using the OEM cable to do the switchback (a major hassle depending where you've got it installed), it's a hurdle. Someone at Ring needs to roll back the latest software version they pushed, or correct in a future version, cause it's annoying. Thanks!

    I too am having the identical issue. It's not recognizing 3rd party Charging Accessories (ie. if I have the OEM cable plugged in, it says it's plugged into a solar panel, yet it says it's not detecting being plugged in even tho it's clearly getting the power from the cord). Clearly a bad update is displaying things wonky... Model: Stick Up Cam Solar (3rd Gen) even tho there is NO solar plugged in, it's plugged in directly using the Ring Indoor\Outdoor Cable.

      Had a power cut recently and since then, the app shows my stock up came (3rd Gen) as disconnected from power however, it’s 100% charged continuously - because it is actually charging through power! Any ideas?

          Using Stickup cam 3rd gen. Battery installed, using proper power adapter to working power source. I have tried all the recommended reboots, deleted and readied device as wired, etc. Device still does not recognize as wired. One thine I noticed was that drilling into camera settings device shows power not connected. However if I drill into general settings it shows power mode as wired. See attached screen shots. ![IMG_6432|230x500](upload://dc64T0EkR8dRs1Mri7napDzaJmA.png)

          When are you planning to have this fixed because I'm having the same issue with the power USB cord wall outlet that you sell on Amazon. I see this comment is from April, 2023. Still having the issue.
