Ring Doorbell Not Recording Videos or Snapshots. Black videos

Ring Doorbell recording black video Asif something covering lens. I've done all the steps mentioned, including checking internet speed and reinstalling the app, plus contacted customer support. The only support I got was $10 off my next subscription, which is current. I can get a live feed, however, my Ring doorbell suddenly stopped recording motion videos or taking snapshots. All videos are black, As if something is covering the lens. The only thing I get is an alert that someone's at my door. Extremely frustrating and Ring support is horrible. Had the doorbell less than 2 year's.

Technical support is a joke. They recommend to upgrade to a new Ring Doorbell. Warranty only covered a year on the phone.

Yes.. tech support definitely is a joke. My ring 2 worked perfectly for one year. Then I got black video. Now I am getting only logged warnings and absolutely no video. Not Ben black anymore. I have upgraded my internet to super fast with pods. My doorbell is in super health according to the ring health screen. I don’t know if the site that records video has cut me off. I renewed once. Ring has no solution. Don’t know if they are researching the problem. So far bad product.

Same here with high speed internet. I stream in tv. To store videos to cloud, you need a current subscription, otherwise you should at least view videos on your phone/computer. My Arlo camera in the back yard works great. May have to purchase one of their doorbells. This is my 4th and last call to Ring tech support to resolve the problem.

Hi,
I've got a Video Doorbell 3Plus and a Stick up cam also. A few days ago I noticed that my VD 3P didn't capture snapshots and wery often missing the video recoring. What is the troubleshooting method in this issue? Or will it may solved if Ring team find solution the current difficulties? If yes, when can we expect for solution?
Thank you in advance!
