Hey @Seven3twenty2 ! At this time, there is no way to turn off the light indicator. Keep in mind, the blue LED indicator light will only turn on when the Indoor Cam is triggered and begins recording. Privacy is at the forefront of every device decision we make at Ring. We will be sure to share your feedback with the team, as we are always looking to improve our neighbors experience
Nest not having a way doesnāt make it a good thing. I donāt want to announce to someone breaking into my home that they are being recorded. If privacy is at the forefront of Ringās concerns ā there would be a way to deactivate this light. Whose privacy are they protectingā¦ the bad guyās?
Previously had Lorex cameras. They had an LED āturn offā setting. This should be added to the Ring cameras as well. Some visitors are intimidated when they see the flashing blue light & know they are being recorded.
the Nest cam used to have this setting until Google decided to remove it so they could notify burglers they were being recorded since criminal privacy is very important in todayās backwards political climate.
Agreed. That is certainly one reason ā¦ and Iāve experienced it multiple times already. Another reason may that we may not want to alert someone about to do something wrong. It should be optional depending on the situation, with indoor cams in particular.
Iām in the same situationā¦ I have so many Ring products. To have this annoying blue light and no option to turn it offā¦ Iām NOT a fan!! They need to get this resolved. To have to place a piece of tape on it, not an issue but if you need to ensure your cam is working or later want to see the blue light for testing purposes, then?? This is a simple fix for Ring. They need to get on it.
Agreed, I just bought a fire TV strictly for the purpose that it would show me the front door camera on my TV whenever motion is detected. But every time it shows me the front door, the wonderful blue light comes on letting everyone know Iām a creep whoās watching them.
I want to know whatās going on outside my door, but I dont need everyone else to know Iām watching. Very annoying.
Ring, please fix this as this is a very big issue.
I totally agree, this LED is stupid, because itās also on, if you just want to do a live view without recording into the could (live view without recording into clouds is also impossible?!). Itās not the first product with LED (like Wifi Access points etc) which needs an upgrade because customers ask to deactivate the LED because itās another stupid light and quite bright. Please listen to your customer needs, keep innovating your products and stop selling same products without listening to your customer experience/needs.
While I agree that the light can be annoying, would you say that you have the right to know via that blue light if a hacker has activated the camera to watch you in your home?
There are pros and cons to having a visual indicator.
If thereās any hacker ā¦ I bet heāll be able to turn off the light and wonāt indicate that he/she is recording
Donāt think if thereās no light thereās no recording. Thatās security from 90th. The light is just for people who might worry less if thereās no light.
If you donāt want to enable hackers access to your camera ā¦ power off!
I also agree we should have the right to choose if the light is on or off.
I think situational adaptation is an advantage in marketing a product. For those who want a bright blue light, by default its on.
For those using it as a baby monitor, turn the light off, then it wonāt wake the baby everytime they move. The product clearly can be programmed to not turn the light on, as its off until the device decides to turn it on. (not a power indicator light)
I think political sensitivity has forced AMAZON owner of RING, to decide for us that they would rather wake the baby than give us options for the products we own to adapt them to our situational needs.
Thanks AMAZON, ALEXA, and RING for listening to us. (4 months and counting from first post.)
