Ring Security Cameras
Mount spotlight has steady green light - won’t connect
Hello, my ring spotlight camera has only a steady green light (not blinking and not multi-color). The camera was mounted in 2 areas and tested in 2 more sockets on different circuits with the same results. Add’l the camera will not reset (hold top button for 20 seconds with no effect) and will not connect to the internet in multiple locations. Internet and FAQs have not shed light on issues.

The same here in Australia, steady green light. holding 20 seconds doesn't work at all. It worked fine until 2 days ago. No internet/router changes. I just realised it tonight when the camera doesn't light on.

CI have the same issue with my Ring Floodlight Camera and have tried to hard reset, but the light stays a steady green. The light worked initially and stopped working after a couple of months. I have moved the camera but nothing has changed. I have three other cameras connected have no problems with them.

Hi neighbors. Here are a few things you can try to get your Spotlight Cam to connect to the internet. * Reset the Camera by pressing and holding the setup button for 20 seconds, then release. * Reset your internet router by unplugging it for 5 minutes, then plugging it back in. It can take up to 10 minutes for your wifi to restore. * Make sure you are using the correct ports and protocols for Ring devices, as described in this Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/205385394-The-Protocols-and-Ports-Used-by-Ring-Devices). * Try switching your wifi password to alphanumeric characters only, with no special characters. * If possible, try bringing your Spotlight Cam in the same room as your internet router and then attempt to connect to wifi. If you've tried all these steps to no avail, you can reach out to our support team for the next best steps.

My ring spotlight camera often experiences the steady green light of doom, the way I found to correct this is, after making sure WiFi is on, turn off the power to security camera (mine is wired to light switch) for 30 minutes then power back on. This usually takes care of the green light issue with mine, I’ve had mine in use for about 5 years now and still love it. Hope this helps anyone who needs it.

I have ring cameras installed and would presume after the update it would have impacted my cameras and yet they are still working. When I initially installed my cameras a couple of years ago I had set up issues and resolved them through a WiFi extender. So it appears the issue is a connectivity issue. That being said, it does not rule out a defective unit. I recommend powering down the camera, wait about 30 minutes and then try the set up as close as you can to your router. If successful then mount it where you want it. If you have further issues, get a WiFi extender or the Ring Chime Pro. This will boost your coverage to the camera when placed halfway between the router and the camera. Tip! If you use a third party extender, do not set up the extender in a wireless mode, connect it via the LAN port. You will halve your signal throughput to the router if you connect it wireless.
