Horizontal white lines in video

My night recordings and live shots show white horizontal lines. Activity can be seen between them, but not discernable. The lines appear to be there during daylight recordings, but don't cause interference. Any ideas?

    Hey @Jbl735. Could you share us a screenshot or video example of this so we can see what you're seeing? In addition, let me know what kind of Doorbell you have!

      @Jbl735 Thank you for those pictures! Could you remove the doorbell from your account, reset it by pressing and holding the setup button for 30 seconds, and then re-set up the device on your account? Once set up and all good, please go to the Live View and let me know if the white lines are still present!

      Hi Chelsea, Well we had improvement, though not perfect for about a week. But it's back. Any other ideas? Thanks, JB

      I'm having this exact same problem along with false motion detection. It only occurs at night. During the day the picture is perfect. I've attached a picture.

      My night video is a complete mess - it has horizontal white lines throughout the recording. People cannot be seen. I have the ring doorbell over 12months and this issue has only manifested in the last 2 months or so. This interferance does not happen during the day - the video recording is perfect in day light Can anyone rectify this? It is not a wifi signal strength

        Hey there, neighbors! White lines or static image should not happen, especially to this extent. Often times, video concerns like this can be related to wifi signal and can be resolved through improving connection. Check out our [Community post about RSSI](http://%20https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Device-Tips-and-How-To-s/How-it-Works-Your-Ring-Device-RSSI-Good-vs-Poor/ba-p/751) for tips on optimizing this signal strength. As most of you have already checked your wifi variables, the next best step here will be to reset your Ring device. Please hold the setup button for 20 seconds to perform a reset on your Video Doorbell. If these concerns persist, despite trying the above steps, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).

        This has also happened to our ring, it’s intermittent but only ever happens in the dark. Only started a view months ago seemingly at the same time it started for everyone else as well

      Happening here as well. Been happening for a while have reset 2 or 3 times and it goes OK for a short while then returns. This time it is making the camera un-usable
