Extend the length of Live View (24/7 recording)
There is currently a 10 minute limit on each live view session, so it stops me from using the indoor camera as an effective baby monitor, or using the doorbell cameras to monitor when I'm waiting for some activity to happen in front of the house. Please make this limit configurable, extend it, or eliminate it for local network viewing.

There are handy buttons on live view like "Mic On/Off", "Speaker On/Off", "Lights On/Off" (if applicable), etc. Why not add "Record On/Off"? Record options can timeout after 10 minutes (reducing cloud storage requirements) and only reactivate again if motion is detected or by manually clicking record button again, but critically, leave live view active and continuously broadcasting. For me, the other requested feature for multiple views in a single session is not as critical (at least on a computer with a browser) since I can pull up two or more live views in separate browser instances side by-side and dock them on a screen. Like others here, I do like to monitor outdoor activities in a surveillance type mode. Thanks, Ritchie

Continuous live view existed on my Amazon Cloud Cam that came out almost a decade ago and Amazon (owner of Ring) just bricked those cameras. They offered Blink cameras to replace them but like Ring the Blink’s don’t allow continuous live view either. Crazy and really disappointing that they have taken this major step backward. If it was possible 10 years ago and technology has gotten so much better in that time I can’t imagine why this is so hard now. Get it together Ring/Amazon and listen to your customers!

I got a Ring Floodlight cam for a Christmas present from my family. After finding out that you cannot continuously monitor a live view with the camera (not continuous record, I don't need or expect that) I am returning the Ring and looking for something else.
