When the camera first comes on (after putting the battery in), I am able to connect to it and Go Live. It will even detect motion. After sitting idle for about 10 minutes it will not respond. Sometimes, the first thinkg the next morning it will come on - briefly - when it detects motion. It will not respond to the app unless I pull the battery and put it back in.
This is a new camera and battery. The battery is fully charged. WiFi signal is good (I have a Peephole Cam in the same hallway). I have two other Ring products that have no problems.

No, it is not reporting a problem with the battery. I also swapped the batty with another Ring device and the problem persists.
As mentioned, the device will work immediately after being connected. 30 minutes later it will not work. It will also occasionally work first thing in the morning.
There are serveral people reporting this over the last week.
I’m not sure if Ring Community support link issues together but I think it would be best to call Ring support as they can escalate to advanced technical team / engineering team.
I have the same issue and they’ve ordered a replacement. Not sure if this will help as it’s a brand new device and numerous people are reporting the issue.
Just to update everyone, my camera is now working properly. Maybe there was a firmware update that was pushed out because I did not do anything to fix the problem.
