Hi there, @MarianneAcker! Often times when there is a network outage or a lapse in wifi due to a major issue or maintenance, degraded network performance beforehand can happen. This will depend on your internet service provider and other details that you would want to confirm during the next outage. It is common for network related concerns to come prior to an outage, and is likely the case here. Check your [RSSI in the Ring app](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) is a great way to ensure for optimal signal when there is a network available. Wifi connection, network dependability, and fine tuned motion settings will help you on obtain the intended Ring experience. :)

This does not answer my question at all. The outage happened at 2:30, and the cameras stopped recording after that, NOT BEFORE. My question was, and still is, SHOULD THE CAMERAS CONTINUE TO CAPTURE/RECORD EVEN THOUGH THE WIFI IS OUT? (One did, two of them did for a while and then stopped at different times) Checking my RSSI during a wifi outage would be kind of dumb, because when the wifi is out there is not connection. I have to wonder if you even bothered to read or comprehend my question….. All 3 came back on as soon as the wifi was restored. I had no problems BEFORE or AFTER the outage, only DURING, and that is the time that my question addresses. Now, can I get an answer for my question?

Thanks for clarifying further, @MarianneAcker. All of our Camera and Video Doorbell devices require wifi connection to operate, and will not function without it. When your internet service or network is down, these devices will also lose connection. Glad to hear they connected automatically upon the connection returning to normal! :)
