Option to disable blue light

Agreed, this is an easy option and should be the owner’s choice in terms of whether or not the blue light is on during recording.

Agreed, we bought these for baby cams, I don’t need that bright blue light distracting my 3 y/o when I check to see if he’s asleep.

The LED is there for privacy reasons, allowing it to be disabled would defeat its purpose. If they’ve designed the cameras properly with security in mind, the LED would be driven from the camera sensor’s power input, such that the LED cannot be turned off without disabling the camera.

Same boat - using as a baby camera. The goal is to NOT wake the baby.

How about using a little sticker to cover up the LED?

I ended up using a sharpie to colour some paper black then sellotaped this over the blue light and both red lights that come on when sensing motion as they also disturb my kids when we check in on them during settling for bed.

Or at least the option of muting, or reducing the glare?

This is a must have feature.

My Samsung camera allows me to turn off the light on the front of the camera.

I run 3 Airbnb’s. The blue light can make people uncomfortable and disrupt their train of thought. It interupts mine when I see the blue light activated. Which them leads me to question why I came into the room in the first place. Lol. I was going to put tape over them. But seeing this suggestion in the works, I will wait and see.

Please create an option to turn off the LED lights on the Indoor Cam

We also use it for a baby monitor. We used the motion alert once in the night and the light woke her everytime she turned over.

There should be a function to turn it off. If people are alerted with the stickers included in the pack then anyone creeping around your house deserve to not know.

A simple small piece of electrical tape does the trick. Did to all cameras.

Pls. Add a option that the status light can turned off, if for instance the cam is offline.

I’ve used these light dims in the past which work well (including with my Skybox)

Bought an indoor cam hoping to use it as a baby cam where I can check up on my toddler every so often, impossible with the blue light! Wasted purchase!

Please fix the extra room chime plug in blue light on the word ring to have a dimming option. I like having the night light but it’s just too bright most nights.

We need to have the option to turn off and on. I don’t need an intruder to know they are being recorded and go straight to the camera to destroy it. The point of the camera is to catch up and see what they are stealing. This won’t help me with an insurance claim.

I don’t agree and for all those complaining about ‘baby cams’ - this product is advertised as Indoor Security Camera, it’s not a baby cam and if it’s the wasted purchase, it’s not Ring responsibility but yours, read the description carefully next time, ask questions or buy the £1/$1 black insulation tape and use 1cm of it to cover the light. And by the way - since when little blue light is a problem for a baby? My two sons were sleeping happily and soundly in a room with at least 4 (maybe more?) red and blue LED’s, not mentioning street lighting. Take it easy.

It is ESSENTIAL to have a permanent, clear sign or indication of recording and/or monitoring inside the property where other people live. I can’t even imagine the device without such an option. Even your laptops have a small light indicating that camera operation is in progress.

Yes, the blue light scares my child. It’s ridiculous that you cannot turn it off.
