Hey @Iseeyou and @Roshan4! I would start with uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves this concern. If it does not, I recommend reaching out to our support team, at 800-656-1918, for more in depth troubleshooting.
I just noticed I have the same issue, there was just a hit and run infront of my house and I thought maybe I got the plates of the guy who drove off, but the video is unavailable for 13 min and the crash happened in that block of missing videoā¦
Same exact thing. I installed a Ring Doorbell 2 yesterday and snapshots were working all day until 6:30 am this morning. Since then I see āthis footage is unavailableā for around 60% of the day. Thereās a few snapshots, but most arenāt there. Live view works great.
I atttached a screenshot of the app. All the black areas are āthis footage is unavailableā areas.
edit: I called support and they donāt seem to understand the issue. They are claiming the Wifi isnāt strong enough to upload snapshots, but I was able to watch live 1080p video for 3 minutes without issue. Still snapshots require a lot less upstream bandwidth than 1080p video, so I doubt itās the Wifi. It could be, but that doesnāt seem correct.
Also my router is reporting that the doorbell goes into low power Wifi mode when not actively transmitting. Support says the doorbell doesnāt support that feature which canāt be correct since if it wasnāt supported my router wouldnāt report it. They are claiming my router is forcing the doorbell into low power which is not possible. The router just reports a Wifi device is doing. For example, if I turn the screen off on my iPhone, my router reports it is in low power mode. My router isnāt putting the phone in low power mode, itās the other way around. Itās the same thing with the doorbell.
edit 2: support is useless. They are telling me I need to assign a static IP address to make the Wifi connection better which makes absolutely no sense. They are also suggesting I get a Wifi extender. I have a lot of devices on my Wifi network and none of them need an extender, which also would only really help if the Wifi signal was low, which it isnāt.
edit 3: I got escalated to second tier support who basically told me everything first tier told me was wrong and that the snapshot feature hasnāt officially rolled out so it may be having āgrowing painsā. That makes more sense than Wifi issues.

My footage unavailable for 20 minutes between the time of 11:40pm to 12:20am every night
(11:40 -12am, 11:45-12:05amā¦etc). I called support and they want me to call them at midnight to troubleshoot. My response was I am an old man, I go to bed at 9pm every night. Ring, please fix the issue. Thank you

Has anyone received a valid response from Ring concerning the deadzone time? Mine is from midnight to 11 am and then again from 2 to 5ā¦ This is with the newly installed ring proā¦ We had the non pro up previously. This seems to be a really important time to be dead airā¦

I reinstalled the app and it seems ok now, hopefully it keeps working and doesnāt slip up when I think it could be useful.
Thank you will try that.
Iām having the problem when viewing snapshots on multiple devices so I donāt think itās related to the device Iām viewing this on.
At this point, snapshots work fine between 5 pm and 7 am. There are no gaps. Between 7 am and 5 pm, Iād say only around 25% or less of the snapshots show up. Thereās gapās all over the place, some over an hour. Basically it doesnāt work during the day.

Same issues here. More often than not āfootage unavailableā throughout the day. Eveningās are ok.
(Iāve reinstalled the app but no change yet)
My Door View cam had the same message for 7 hours today! I donāt see why I paid money for such a buggy product. Any time support are contacted about anything they seem to blame it on WiFi, seems the go to response.

I *believe* this is the first time it happened to me. From 5pm last night to 6am this morning. Over 12 hours of footage unavailable. Never seen this before. Not good.
Sorry to hear about these concerns. If you have not already tried, uninstalling and reinstalling the application is a great first step! Itās important to also check your signal strength via the Device Health in the app, whenever there is a concern related to video or picture quality. Check out our Community post about RSSI and how to optimize your wifi signal strength.
If the above does not resolve your concerns, I recommend reaching out to our support team, at 800-656-1918, for more in-depth troubleshooting. Please feel free to keep us updated on the results as I will be sharing this feedback with the appropriate teams.
