We recently bought a ring doorbell because we’ve had some issues with our neighbours and other people harassing us, so we wanted to get these incidents on camera when they occur. The police recommended Ring doorbell, so we bought one. And so far, its been useful.
The only problem is, it missed several events when set to “Regularly” check for motion with 60 second recordings, it was only capturing events roughly every 10 to 15 minutes. And since we need it to capture events to get proof of the harassment, we changed it to “Frequently” but this seems to use up a whole lot of battery, we’re needing to charge it every couple of days?
We live in a terraced property that is facing a busy road, so its always capturing movement. But even when I change the smart capture zone to just capture the pavement, which is what we need, its power is still draining very very fast. We’ve got a 2nd Generation Ring Doorbell and have it connected to a Solar Charger that gets the recommended amount of sun daily, but its doing nothing to slow the battery drain.
I really could do with some advice here, Google has been useless. What are we supposed to do to make sure it does what we need? From what I’ve seen, even hardwiring it won’t stop our problems. I’m absolutely stumped. Please help.
Thank you.
