Car cam with no external power option?

negative-feedback

car-cam

On the default vehicle usage setting with my car in the garage and no detection events, the car cam turn off after about 12 hours. If there is no other external battery option, this become less of a security device and more of a drive cam. I bought it for security just like all my other Ring cameras, particularly when I need to leave it parked at an airport parking lot for a few days or a week. If I can't plug this into an external battery pack for extended use, it will likely be going back to Ring in the next few weeks.

I’m surprised you got 12 hours mine turns off with default setting in less than 2. New car.

Agree. Mine shuts down every night and I drive my truck a lot during the day...

Ok another issue. Can’t find info anywhere on this. When I watch playback or live feed I hear a constant knocking sound while watching. Is anyone else hear this while watching live or playback on app. I don’t hear this sound at all in car.

They should have never released this product with all the problems that it has. It's criminal... Bordering on felony fraud.
