Turn off Status Light on new Indoor Cam
I bought 4 of these new Indoor cameras. I want that annoying blue light off. If a Bad Person/Crook/Clown is in my house, they have no right to:1. Know where my camera is due to a blue light shining and notifying them2. Any expectation of privacy and knowing they are being recorded or live viewedI have the latest version of the software and I cannot find a setting to turn it off. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you.

If there’s any hacker ... I bet he‘ll be able to turn off the light and won’t indicate that he/she is recording ;-) Don’t think if there’s no light there’s no recording. That’s security from 90th. The light is just for people who might worry less if there’s no light. If you don’t want to e

BI also agree we should have the right to choose if the light is on or off. I think situational adaptation is an advantage in marketing a product. For those who want a bright blue light, by default its on. For those using it as a baby monitor, turn the light off, then it won't wake the baby every

JIFTTT means - IF ring ignores all customer requests and - THIS stupid blue LED is not able to be turned off - THAT stays that way and it doesn't overwhelm me to decide either the stupid blue LED is on or off - THEN I will return all brand new Indoor Cam back to amazon and wait Looking forward

EWhat it really means... IFTTT A simple "If This Then That" web-based service that allows the creation of conditional commands as "applets" to expand functions of several web services, i.e. Gmail, Pintrest, Facebook and others. These are typically reactionary to the actions of these primary web s

I really don’t get the point of not being able to turn off the blue light. I’m assuming it’s for privacy reasons but anyone trying to “spy” on someone else can just put a piece of black tape over the light and done. So it’s a pointless “security” feature that just makes the user find some jerryrigged workaround. Plus there’s a valid reason to want to turn the light off other than not alerting people that they’re being recorded. If you place the camera looking out a window, like I have, then the blue light reflects off the glass creating an annoying blue glare. I solved the problem by placing the aforementioned piece of black electric tape over the light but there’s really no valid reason for me to have to do that. Give us the option to turn the light off!

BYou aren't alone! Although there are several _regular_ forum posts already (like here in the Security Cams forum) about this additional option you want, the **Feature Request Board** forum is where Ring Team look to see what improvements people might want. And the more "Thumbs Up" Kudo votes the

Agreed. Black tape is such a poor solution. The option to disable the blue light is simple to provide and then upto the user to choose. Who is it for otherwise - it’s not the intruder!

Agreed. Changed indoor systems for my nursery so it was the same as outside and the blue light shines down on baby every time they move which obviously doesn’t have a positive effect in a blacked out room!! Back to competitor until you resolve this. Very disappointing purchase.

While I agree that the light can be annoying, would you say that you have the right to know via that blue light if a hacker has activated the camera to watch you in your home?There are pros and cons to having a visual indicator.
