White lines across video at night
troubleshooting

I'm getting white lines across the video at night. The lines are like static on the tv, they stutter and move vertically. WiFi connection is good. During the day the video is clear and looks great. Anyone else have this issue?

    Hey @Nerf. Could you try resetting the Doorbell and reconnecting it to see if this helps?

      Apparently the video cards go bad. They replaced my doorbell with 2 weeks left on the warranty.

      I’ve just tried out the instruction to reset it for 20secs (small button on the front) and then change the network like setting up again and the line have now gone. The picture is clear again....

    I’m having the same exact issue. The camera works fine in the daytime, but as soon as night fall hits the white lines come.

      I have reset, completely deleted the entire app and ring and reinstalled them both, several times. still the same, i was on hold for i believe 45 minutes before i gave up on tech support. if it doesn't solve itself i will not be renewing my ring membership and looking elsewhere for video security.

      Finally got a hold of customer service. They verified that connection is good, wifi and such are fine and that the issue only occurs at night. I am out of warranty so I simply have to buy another. It lasted just over a year. Mind you, it is on our porch which has an overhang so it is well guarded. Crystal clear video during the day, lines at night. I am very disappointing. I will be cancelling my ring basic subscription and tossing this in the trash.

      Hi @Rocco13. This is not the experience we want you to have at Ring. With your device being out of [warranty](https://shop.ring.com/pages/warranty) and not functioning properly, you are able to receive an out of warranty discount code to purchase a new device. Please, let me know if this was the case. Also, if you are subscribed to our [Ring Protect Plus Plan](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030333671-How-to-Subscribe-to-the-Ring-Protect-Plan), you have an extended warranty on all of your Ring devices at your location.

      I appreciate the follow up. I only have the basic coverage as I did not expect to have any issues such as this. I was offered the discounted price but now after only 15 months and such a large flaw, I do not trust the Ring or it's quality.

    Yes, started in September. Spoke to customer service and they looked at my video and said the video card went bad. They are sending me a replacement doorbell under warranty (which one year warranty expires in 2 weeks). If you are within the one year warranty window, I recommend that you call customer service.

      My issues started 2 months after the warranty expired. Very sad.
