    I've had the exact same issue, random little slots in the history that says "this footage is unavailable". RING why is this happening. ?

      I just noticed I have the same issue, there was just a hit and run infront of my house and I thought maybe I got the plates of the guy who drove off, but the video is unavailable for 13 min and the crash happened in that block of missing video...

      Same exact thing. I installed a Ring Doorbell 2 yesterday and snapshots were working all day until 6:30 am this morning. Since then I see "this footage is unavailable" for around 60% of the day. There's a few snapshots, but most aren't there. Live view works great. I atttached a screenshot of

      My Door View cam had the same message for 7 hours today! I don't see why I paid money for such a buggy product. Any time support are contacted about anything they seem to blame it on WiFi, seems the go to response.

      I \*believe\* this is the first time it happened to me. From 5pm last night to 6am this morning. Over 12 hours of footage unavailable. Never seen this before. Not good.

      My footage unavailable for 20 minutes between the time of 11:40pm to 12:20am every night (11:40 -12am, 11:45-12:05am…etc). I called support and they want me to call them at midnight to troubleshoot. My response was I am an old man, I go to bed at 9pm every night. Ring, please fix the issue. Thank y

      I’m having the same problem it’s like an hour though of time maybe longer, I thought maybe somebody was making it happen like with a magnet or something, or am I just watching too much CSI? ![AD7F7424-EB9E-4D7C-B976-20729D52DA96.jpg|2688x1242](upload://2s3xpAzwOOGHsyFFKy3IOsd0VNG.jpeg)

      Has anyone received a valid response from Ring concerning the deadzone time? Mine is from midnight to 11 am and then again from 2 to 5.... This is with the newly installed ring pro... We had the non pro up previously. This seems to be a really important time to be dead air...

    I have the same issue. There are footages missing throughout the day. @Ring: Please fix the issues.![EFEF50A9-BC25-4047-9C83-769F202ED09B.jpg|1242x2208](upload://dPC3G2t6iw0F0py2D5kLgViB07c.jpeg)

      Almost not worth having snapshot turned on... (App data cleared, app reinstalled, no issues with WiFi signal and alternative router tested) ![Screenshot_20191226-120623_Ring.jpg|1080x2280](upload://dYhGPZqDhqyhTPYDvk7NIuSX8hM.jpeg)

      broster19. From your screenshoot, Your Wifi has?, internet icon with exclamation mark and your 4G has only one bar. I would check the network settings again.

      It's not that. Lol. Attached another screenshot anyway. Suspect (based on consistent timings and where I'm located) this may be Ring maintenance window(s) that are being poorly managed. ![Screenshot_20191226-175407_Ring.jpg|1080x2280](upload://3Hte6nTGx3Z3fKu4ESHyNgnCOkI.jpeg)

      I have been looking back at the footage log and notice minutes after activity (like me leaving or coming home -therefore triggering the motion sensor ) the footage becomes unavailable. Most times until there is motion(me coming back home ) The fact that this happens every day and therefore if I am

      I have the same issue, but it’s not at the same time every day. I have no photography or snapshots since noon yesterday. It won’t connect to Live View either.

    Thanks, that would be great!Can you provide the link to that documentation so we can find it for ourselves on the Ring website? ...I am skeptical because of the website material I read (attached) which states they only store events and motion, and I can't see that video on my timeline, and the customer service person told me you couldn't do it....hopefully you're right!![RingPlans.jpg|1242x424](upload://zyxQquy9vb63j6l8hXoGu97uzfL.jpeg)

      Ok I found out how to do this in theory, however it still doesn't work on my app:It is called "Snapshot" and needs to be enabled in your app (follow instructions in link below). However I am not able to get this to work despite it being enabled, ugh![https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034443672](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034443672)

        I have snapshot enabled and early morning/evening all snap shots are captured and saved. In the day, sometime all day, sometimes intermittently, snaps shot aren't saved, just receive the usual error. Note if there's an event, i.e. movement or the bell is rung, events are captured and saved without i

        Would be nice if they were stored for 1 day, or even accessible in the first place (regardless of time of day)...
