Our Ring floodlight has a red tint when we view it. It started 3 days ago. We have tried to reset it twice and it has not helped at all. Started as a smallsquarevin center of screen and now covers the whole screen.

    Having the same issue with red tint on only one of my security cameras. What’s the best way to actually get Help from Ring?

      Hi, not sure if you figured it out but its a simple fix. Get a rubber hammer or something similar and tap the side of the camera. Let me emphasize tap! It may take a few hits but it works! I pulled up the camera feed on my phone so i could see when it went away. Dont know why it works but it does! Good as new!

        Yes, tapping it lightly, while watching Live View, worked for me.

        The tapping on the right side with a rubber mallet worked for me too! Thank you!!!

        I thought “there’s no way this works”. However, I used three fingertips while looking at my camera in live mode. Nothing on the right side worked so I tried the left side and VIOLA!!! The color changed back immediately! Crazy!!

      Tapping lightly only partially worked for me. Tapping on the right looking into the lens recovered some 50%. Tapping on the left resulting in it going back. Constantly tapping again on the right got it as far as 70% back but no further. :unamused:

        I can't believe it, but the tap on the side fixed mine as well. It took a few taps, and at one point, only part of the image was correct, but I kept tapping, and finally it cleared up!
