We need to push for Loss internet connection alert
app-settings

We need to all push for an app update that lets you know if your Device has lost Internet connection the same way we get an alert that our devices battery is almost dead. If power goes out then the Internet goes out and if the Internet goes out no camera no camera higher risk I have not catching something you need to have on film.A simple update that would send text message email or an app alert to let you know your device has lost its Internet connection it would be extremely helpful update for all of us. Very simple for them to do as well. Think hard about this. 💡🧠

    The reason I created this topic is because a friend of mine who was living in an apartment in a private house. He was unaware that the disconnect for the power only for his apartment was in the backyard of the house. The owner was away on vacation and my friend was at work. Someone walked into the backyard off camera and switched the disconnect off and got in to the side door where he had his ring set up. He lost about $3000 in jewelry and a small safe was taken out of his house. The person actually turned the power back on when he left. Not be be seen on camera at all. After my friend had the cops there and mad a report he called me to tell me about it I got in my car and went right to his house. We sat there trying to figure it out then it just popped in my head…. I asked him where the panel which was inside then we walked out to the meter and sure enough right under the meter for the electrical for only his apartment was a disconnect switch to kill the panel in his apartment. No lock on it. That’s why that update would work wonders. On the bright side they caught the guy because of 3 other neighbors ring devices walking with a safe in his hands.

      Totally agree. It can't possibly be that difficult to push an alert when a device is not responding due to loss of internet.
