I just installed my ring pro and everything went great untill it got dark, now I get almost nothing. I can see car lights when the go by in the street, but cant see my car parked in the driveway 15 feet away, If someone gets within a foot of the doorbell you can see them but that's it. I already tried resetting the doorbell, and switching out of color mode with know luck, I'm very frustrated at this point.

    Hi. I have just installed ours 3nights ago. It did not record any motions at all overnight. We also get milk delivery in the morning but the milk delivery was not even captured but we did get the milk. Did you manage to fix the issue?

      Hey Annalyzer1001!Unfortunately, no I have not been able to fix the problem. I am leaving the porch light on overnight now so it will work. And fortunately, everthing I want to monitor is during the day anyway. Donovan mentioned it could be related to the last app update but since he has his working maybe its not the app update. I'm waiting to see if the next update does anything. I have my motion sensitivity set to 1 click before all the way to the left for "less motion." This setting still captures most everything that moves. I've recorded deer, foxes, and racoons overnight on a regular basis. I had to put a WiFi extender in my house to get my doorbell to function better. However, the device still goes offline more than I would like. Overall, I'd say I'm only about 68% satisfied with this device. Is your device dropping offline?

      Two weeks with my RING Pro and no night vision either. I've tried everything that I read above and it is WORTHLESS. I smell a lawsuit in their future

      All right. So since I last posted a comment not much has changed. Doorbell works fine during the day and at sunrise and sunset. Doorbell only works at night with the porch light turned on. I have only captured Deer one time overnight since my last post. It almost seems like it won't capture anything between midnight and sunrise and I don't have any time parameters set on the device. My satisfaction decreases each day with this device. There was an update Dec 18th and the update did nothing.

      What was the update? My Firmware is on **1.1600272** and will NOT update no matter what I've tried. Supposed to say UP TO DATE

      Hey Pepi,I'm not sure how to check what Firmware the doorbell is running. What I can tell you is the update was on Dec 18th and its version 5.21.0 248.9MB. The app says the update includes bug fixes, enhancements, and has the following new features.....

    So the latest for my video doorbell pro. I've been e-mailing with ring support. They are telling me the brick next to my doorbell is absorbing the infrared beams. They are sending me a "corner kit" free of charge. We will see!

      Mine doesn't work at night either despite the fact we have a searchlight that comes on when someone approaches. I see the light come on but the video doesn't come on. As we bought this to catch the person who is vandalising our property at night this is very frustrating.

    I had the same problem I found out that the light across the street was causing the infrared not turn on, watch the video all you have to do is buy is little piece of window film and seems to work like charm [https://youtu.be/u\_UR8it5rQo](https://youtu.be/u_UR8it5rQo)

      Still no update?? This is very frustrating. I had been very satisfied with my cameras up until now, and I have had them for years. But to have half of my cameras suddenly stop working at night is unacceptable. Please fix this Ring before I have to find another solution for my home security.

    Hi, this is a recent problem for us as well. Everything has worked fine since day 1 but today I realized that there hadn't been any notifications or recordings between around 9pm and 6am for at least a week or so. It seems many others have this issue but no fix? Obviously if someone comes to your door in the middle of the night we want to make sure it's being recorded.

      Very frustrating that this is still an issue. Also the ring app will not let me fast forward recorded video. It just stops playing. Ring is really not doing well here!

      Same here. Since a few months, the ring doorbell stopped recording motions from 9pm to 8am. Helllllooooooo RiNG, is anybody listening to this thread?
