Stick up cam not recording motion
Hi all, Had my Wired Stick Up Cam for a few months now and never had a problem with it, but it’s recently stopped recording motion and sending me alerts and I can’t seem to fix it. I can still access live view. The WiFi signal is strong and it’s plugged in to a socket, so no issues with battery. The help articles on the ring website are useless so thought I’d come and see if anyone else has had the same issue and how you fixed it. Thanks all, Mike :)

I'm having the same issue with my stick up cam, was working since May when I purchased it and now won't record and I can't access live feed. I've performed the set up on the camera again, restarted router etc. It's a wired stick up cam and I also have a battery for backup. I'd like to return it, I don't have time to diagnose this or wait on a phone line for technical support.

Since it worked before, something probably changed to affect your Wi-Fi (adding more Wi-Fi equipment or new interference issues. It's a wired Stick-up cam, but you have a battery back-up? I don't understand that. I mean if you lose house power, and lose Plug-in power to your cam, then it's likely you also lost your Wi-Fi router too. And if you lose Wi-Fi, it doesn't really matter that your cam has a battery, because your "alive" camera cannot communicate with a "dead" router anyways. If you like to return it, you would still have to contact Ring support by phone (same telephone number to get diagnostic support): [https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036196372-Get-in-Touch](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036196372-Get-in-Touch) [https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041597471-Ring-s-Response-to-COVID-19](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041597471-Ring-s-Response-to-COVID-19) But back to Wi-Fi issues.

I'm having a similar problem. My camera is only working intermittently. It's just a week old. It's a solar powered battery stick up model.

Hi @restets. I'd like to clarify that your Stick Up Camera will only record when motion is detected, it will not record continuously. When you say it is intermittently not working, can you please provide some additional details on which aspect is not working? If you're concerned with the motion detection, have you tested this out by triggering a test event to see if you receive a motion alert? Most motion detection concerns can be resolved by making adjustments to the [motion settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/210243483-Utilizing-Motion-Zones-with-your-Ring-Devices), as it can take some trial and error to find a combination that works best with your home.

An example would be I walk down the driveway (where the camera is aimed). It will record that. I walk out of the detection range for a minute or so and then return. This time no recording.

Hi @MikeyB! Have you checked for any Ring app updates available? Removing and reinstalling the Ring app on your mobile device might also help with this. If wifi signal and other operations are working as intended, but motion/ alerts are being missed, the next best step is to check motion settings. I recommend checking in your Ring app for settings such as [People Only Mode](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032947972-Refining-Your-Alert-Notifications-with-People-Only-Mode), or even motion scheduling, modes, and other motion/ alert settings. Feel free to let us know if this works for you! :)
