How to disable Live View recording
My Video Doorbell 3 drains battery every few days due to the Live View recording. Is there a way to change the settings to record only when someone rings the doorbell or when there is motion? Right now, it is recording every couple hours or so of video with no activity of any kind. Thanks

Same here. I just bought out system on Black Friday. May take it back. When nobody is home and I’m upstairs I like to leave the Camera on so I can watch downstairs. This can sometimes be for 8 hours or more. I just wanna see the camera not record anything.

I have the exact same issue! I do NOT want to record during live view. We have a Stick Up Cam indoors we wanted to use for child monitoring, and I will have to get another camera brand solely due to this lack of feature!

I, too, would like to see this feature implemented. I up-voted the feature request linked above. https://community.ring.com/t/disable-live-view-auto-recording-feature/100055

Same here. I just installed my Ring camera and it's so annoying I can't just watch without recording. It does not make any sense, we need two buttons: live watch and live record, so that we can choose what we want to do in a specific moment in time.

Hello, @Chelsea_Ring this is the actual issue OP was talking about and I'm requesting exactly the same feature: https://community.ring.com/t/disable-live-view-auto-recording-feature/100055. A simple Enable/Disable Live View option in Settings and a Record button on the Live View stream should fix it. Just leave the option of recording the Live View stream to the customer, please. Thank you!
