Video very fuzzy for first 5 seconds,

I have spent 3 hours between yesterday and today speaking to Agents in Egypt !! the one today said she had spoken to Technical who said this is normal. Why can that be when it only started to be like this for the past few days, was perfectly clear for the whole run of the video. Can someone please help, I cannot go back on the telephone with them. I am 78 years old, this is very annoying.

Hi @user4701. What is the RSSI for your Doorbell? The RSSI can be found in the Ring app under the Device Health menu. If the video is fuzzy, it could be due to a poor RSSI. You can try rebooting your internet router to see if that will help clear up the image.

Hi is there anymore about the fuzzy video for the first 5 seconds just the same thing is happening to mine

Hi @Kenmalcolmson2000. Can you please clarify which model of Ring Doorbell you have? The model name is listed on the original packaging, and on the Device Health page in the Ring app. Please also share an example of this fuzzy video you’re experiencing.

I have the same problem with the beginning of EVERY video. For the first few seconds the video is not in high resolution and looks like it is showing a frame at a time. My RSSI is consistently in the -40’s. I have a Doorbell Pro and Doorbell Gen 2, both doing the same thing.
