Ring Video Doorbell
Video Doorbell Recording 120-Seconds Now!
**Heard that Battery-Powered Video devices now have a Recording-Length up to 120-seconds!** Ring Doorbells are Battery-Powered (When Hard-wired, the battery still really powers the unit while getting a 'trickle-charge' from the Hard-wire). The Ring Doorbell Pro is the only exception because it truly is powered by the Hard-wire. About 5 days ago (Aug 21), a new firmware got automatically downloaded into my Plug-in Stick-Up cameras. Since these are outlet powered (no battery) the default recording-time maximum was 60-seconds. But with this new firmware, I now have multiple-interval-options for my recording time (15-seconds up to 120-seconds)! Now all my Plug-in Stick-Up cameras are set for a the new maximum of 120-seconds recording length! When I checked my other video devices, this new Video recording option was not available . . . . UNTIL today (Aug 25)! Now my **Video Doorbell** 2 is also set for 120-seconds! So I'm guessing when a device receives the 'roll-out' for feature, it can vary between device models and your location (I'm located on the east coast of USA). When this new option appeared, I found it in the "Video Settings" part of my App, and you have to tap on the '30-seconds', not on the words "Max Recording Length." And in every case (for 4 cams), I had to re-attempt multiple times before it finally 'took' the new selected time (it kept displaying 'Failed'). Stubborn cameras I guess . . . or my cameras were in as much shock as I was. LOL, Cameras were 'stubborn' only on the initial set-up with this new feature. After the new time-length finally 'Saved' successfully, I can now change/adjust/save these time-setting with ease. **THANK YOU RING!! Yes Yes! We are very excited! :) :) :)** Now, I'm eagerly awaiting for this video option to show up for my Ring Indoor Cameras (which are still at the default max of 60-second length) and these are true non-battery devices . :) :) :)

LNote that I could only do this from my cell phone, not the app on my computer. Also, the instructions in the article left steps out for what I had to do. I had to do the following: - Open the main menu in the top left hand corner of your Ring mobile app - Select Devices and then the device you would like to update its recording length - Select Device Settings at the bottom - Select Video Settings at the top - Scroll down and select Video Recording Length - Tap on Max Recording Length and then tap on the record time to choose your preferred maximum record time. - Tap Save in the upper right corner

If you prefer the full-length durations that your selected for your video length, you might want to disable these. For Motion Verification Setting: [https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001858043-My-Video-Recording-Stops-After-20-Seconds](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001858043-My-Video-Recording-Stops-After-20-Seconds) For Advanced Motion Detection Setting: [https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005914666-About-the-Advanced-Motion-Detection-System-Used-in-Ring-Devices](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005914666-About-the-Advanced-Motion-Detection-System-Used-in-Ring-Devices) So your video length may be 'trimmed' shorter in these cases. I hope you find this information useful. :)

Confirmed, working on my Doorbell 3 since today and on my Stick-up cam battery for a few weeks.
