Ring Security Cameras
Live View timeout
I bought the Ring Stick Up Camera Elite in order to monitor my dog in the backyard, while I work in my home office. Live View appears to timeout after 10 minutes, which defeats my primary purpose for having this camera. I'm going to reach out to Ring support by phone to see if they can turn this limitation off on my account and report back. This is stated nowhere in any of the product literature and is a terrible design flaw, which will result in my negative review.

Ya...they tell you go to to the right message board, link you and there is no organization to it. Sure, scroll down forever and not find this topic. And search takes you to publications, not message board topics. They just don't want their servers running hot. That's what it is.

UI use Wyze cameras for the front and back yards. They don't always notify you and often pick up tree movement lol. But they mainly stay on/engaged unless there's a lull in internet. But they have recently made the recorded events are just pictures now. No videos. So the ring will just be a non glorified doorbell with intercom. :/

They will never fix this this because they don't want to store the feeds of those that just leave the cameras running. I too am annoyed by this 10 minute timeout which led me here but then I got to thinking that is probably the reason. This is my assumption of just putting the pieces together so while I'm not positive, that is why they do not I'm guessing.

Ring now times out under 1 minute on live view. It happened to me a few weeks ago as well. I do know they set the time out normally for 10 minutes, it's not a glitch. But this under a minute timeout is a glitch and I can't watch for packages. 30 seconds to be exact

Hi neighbors! Your Ring Cameras and Doorbells do not record continuously or 24/7. When you activate the Live View, it will timeout and need to be reconnected after 10 minutes. We appreciate your continued feedback on this, and you can vote on the feature request for an extended Live View time frame below. https://community.ring.com/t/extend-the-length-of-live-view-24-7-recording/4507 If you're having any concerns with your Live View not working or disconnecting before 10 minutes, please try the troubleshooting steps in our Community post on Live View [here](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-live-view-not-working-or-connecting-ring-troubleshooting-tips/249).

3Look, obviously this is not a design flaw, nor is it broken. I can understand when RING wasnt owned by Amazon this 10 minute timeout being implemented because the inventor of RING didnt have the resources that Amazon has. I am sure it is to avoid using loads of storage and resources, however, Amazon can afford to do this. I mean, you are probalby already using AWS to store all this data, just allow it. OR, offer a different membership where you charge more for this option. Or offer an option where you dont store the data nor process it. Stream it locally on customers network to their other Amazon devices, web browser etc, on their local LAN.

RWe have been voting for this feature for over 3 years and the issue has existed for over 5 years. Caitlyn, when can you provide information to us about what the developers are saying about this requested feature and specifically what the ETA is? We have waited 5 years for this feature and many people are returning their Ring cameras very often because this 10 minute time out is pathetic. Can you get us some sort of response from the developers? thanks
