Yes REMOVE limit. I have plug in power and would like to watch live UNTIL I turn off.
I’d like to be able to live view one or multiple cameras without having to refresh or sign back in every 12 minutes
Requesting 24/7 Live view. I bought 8 Ring cameras for my shop. Two are hard wired so that I can use them 24/7. Only to find out they time out every 10 minutes. Further more you have to sign back in. Not liking this settings.
I’m getting frustrated this requested feature isn’t available. Even live view within the mobile app is sketchy when the doorbell rings. I moved away from my homebrew Amcrest/Blue Iris system for something “simplified”. I’m beginning to regret that decision.
its 2022 and we need continuos live view !!! this has been a common complaint and request feature since 2019 …unbelievable
Hi,
It’s great to see alarm pro supporting adding ONFIV cameras. However, it’ll be even better to support adding RTSP cameras. Thanks!
I migrated to Ring over others and now regret so doing without 24/7 live view. I am using a video doorbell wired so power not an issue. Please add this feature as a matter of urgency.
Mine is plugged in so…
Definitely looking for the ability to have live view for a customized or unlimited duration, such as 8 hours, no need to record unless there is detected motion matching recording criteria. Such an annoying “feature” to make me reconnect every 10 minutes and and even re-login hourly~ when I have live view pulled up on my Apple TV screen to view whatever events going on around my home, albeit the pool, driveway, kids coming and going, etc.
Sigh…wished I read this thread before buying these falsely advertised security cameras…have had to repack them up and swap with google nest…that 10 mins is just BS and lodged a complain to the accc in Australia that they should not be marketed as so. If there is ever a product owner within ring, they have obviously been turning a deaf ear to the must haves for a security camera.
Just swapped for google nest and it’s working beautifully after 3 hours and counting with no fall out in the continuous stream…no thanks to Amazon’s misleading security camera.
In short peeps…go buy a nest and return this hot garbage
Hi Chelsea, I think the use model is not to record 24/7, but unlimited streaming to a device w/o recording the live view event. Most folks want to use these cameras as real-time monitors (i.e. baby/pet monitor)
Please turn off the 10 minute timeout for live view. Live view should be able to be kept on continuously.
Totally agree. So many threads about this. Why limit the live view? It doesn’t make any sense. Almost every other surveillance camera in the market allows continuous live view.
Step up, Ring!
You can vote on this item. It has been a missing item for 4 years however. Your best course of action is to return your ring cameras and purchase a different camera. Ring will never fix this item.
I have waited for Ring to add (remove) the 10 minute time-out feature. My wife and I discussed this today, and we have decided to move to Google Nest cameras. I can live with timing out every 4 hours, but not every 10 minutes. I do software development at my home office, and I like being able to keep an eye on everything around the house. I would even be willing to pay an extra monthly fee for the continuous surveillance. Starting next week, I’m removing my Ring cameras and replacing them. By switching to Nest, I can handle both security and surveillance needs. I won’t wait any longer for Ring to change this timeout feature.
As many of us would like to use the ring as a baby cam (so that it could be in the same ecosystem as our other cameras), it would be great to add an option for endless live-viewing on amazon echo products. I assume the 10-minute limit is imposed because of the simultaneous recording so the recording could be dropped for any views > 10 minutes if this option is enabled.
Another feature that Ring lacks that Nest had day one. I would pay for 24x7 continuous recording. Without it, this is not a security camera. Its a toy. It should not be marketed as a security camera as that is misleading, in my opinion. Further, Ring said they are working on this feature but where is it? Very disappointed.
I’m very keen to see this feature added. As an interim workaround you could try using an auto clicking third party app. There are a few available for free. I use it to click on the reconnect button every 605 seconds (just over 10 minutes). The picture drops out for a few seconds each time it refreshes but it saves you having to manually press it every 10 mins. Hope this helps.
I purchased a ring doorbell 3 and an Amazon echo show 8 2nd generation this week primarily to use as a live front door security feed as we have had a few problems which need permanent view £300 approximately and I can’t get it to stay on for more than 60 seconds. After reading this is an ongoing issue I will be sending them both back to Amazon. Has there been a way to keep live view on permanently before I do
