Floodlight Cam Lights coming on constantly

Plus one all the way…so annoying

Did this ever get resolved. I had zero problems and at some point in last 6 months or so it started going off constantly. It literally goes on and off for hours with only a few seconds in between it turning on and off. There is no motion, and I have done all the typical troubleshooting (angle change, reducing range, turning off zones) and nothing works… I finally resorted to covering up the sensor on the light… still is going off at night…

I am convinced this is a firmware issue. That is the only thing that can explain why this didnt happen for over a year and a half and then all of a sudden started happening sround the same time so many of us have started having the issue.

Our floodlight is doing the exact same. Worked fine for months than seemingly overnight the light started coming on every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.

Followed the troubleshooting, adjusted floodlight angle, changed the light zone to minimum - still nothing is working. I agree with you on it being a firmware issue and hope that Ring fixes this ASAP.

Just installed one on my front drive. Having same problem. I adjusted the light zones to nearly minimum and that seemed to bring the constant on and off to a minimum
. I then went outside to see how close i had to get to have the lights turn on and i had to get to within 7 ft. Completely useless as a floodlight. I will be doing more adjustments over this weekend to see if i can find a useable solution.

I had two flood cam lights installed last fall. I am having the exact same issue described here in one of the two lights. The other one works fine. Began seeing this a few weeks ago. I have been playing with the settings with no luck. It makes the product kinda useless.

Why can’t they trigger the lights on motion instead which aligns it with the notification until they make the real fix! Clearly a lot of customers have this problem. This is not the amazon way I am familiar with!

My wife and i were going to go full Ring security system 2 more floodlight cams 3 stick up cams even if we decide to stick with Ring the floodlights are out until they address this obvious problem not only have they not addressed or taken ownership of this ongoing problem they also have the problem of when you exit the live view on the floodlight cams the floodlights come on and you have to manually turn them off my neighbors are not real happy with Ring either my lights face their property
This is the only way we are going to get this fixed im highly disappointed that a company as big as Ring isnt taking more responsibility for bugs and fixes
I dont want to jump ship i have had no problems with my doorbell cam but im not sticking with a company that has a known issue and puts profit above customer service my humble opinion good luck Ring family keep us updated stay safe and healthy

Same. Installed yesterday and the light does not turn off Overnight despite all settings adjustments. Wish I saw the forum before I bought. Will be returning.

I’m having the same issue. The first month I had it, all was well. Now, the lights keep coming on even throughout the day. I’ve tried everything, all the suggestions here and still coming on. Can I return it for a new one? I’ve had to turn it off because it’s irritating the neighbors…and me! The one in the backyard, purchased at the same time, is working perfectly.

Seem many are having issues with the lights. Mine keep turning on and off even on a bright sunny day. They tell me to reset everything and smaller zones. Still having the same problem. I just hope ring in working on this problem. Especially since once the lights burn out your done.

I am having the same issue. The light goes off for 30 seconds then turns itself back on. This annoys the heck out of neighbors and I. Only solution so far is to turn the unit off completely and loose all security functionality.

Same issue, worked fine, now lights seem to be on all the time.

Come on Ring, fix the firmware!

So does anyone know if there is a fix for this. Because now I have to turn my security camera off every night before the bloke behind me beats my head in because this stupid lights is constantly shines in his liverroom window. What a waste of £250. New I should of stuck to swann cctv

Same here. Just started happening a few weeks ago. I updated the firmware still the same problem. Sucks

Just bought two today. Lights just keep going on right after they shut off. I had to adjust to minimum, but now I have to be nearly under the unit to get the light to turn on

I’m also experiencing the same issue. Noticed it a while ago but as the floodlight is on the side of the house with only bathroom windows I don’t see it often.

Sometimes the light goes back on every 3 or 4 seconds after it’s just timed out. Luckily only my neighbours gardens are affected but this is pretty poor!

I’ve reduced the distance to minimum and like everyone else I have no motion detected, nothing visible on camera but it still goes off! Terrible!!

Same here. Just purchased direct from Ring a few days ago. Lights going on and no events or indication as to why. Turned the light zones to minimum. Any updates on this?

Same problem where randomly lights turn on. Installed last summer have had continious problem with lights randomly turning on. Lately (after firmware update?) random turn on seems to be better as the lights turn on maybe three or four times per night compared to before lights would turn on 10-15-20 times per night. There now apprears to be a delay of 1-2 seconds after motion is detected before lights turn on. Still not right but at least tolerable.

Has anyone found a fix to this? My cam has started doing the same thing after I installed it 3 months ago, just noticed this evening that it is constantly coming on for no reason. I’ve troubleshooted and amended the sensor area but I’m puzzled that it’s become an issue all of a sudden when it’s been fine for 3 months in all weather conditions. I really don’t think it’s a firmware issue, something ring really needs to sort out.
