Motion Capture Cutoff

If after a motion triggered video is complete there is still motion all Ring cams will start a new motion triggered recording… BUT there is a “cool-down” or time interval before the new recording starts. This time interval is dependant on the actual Ring model (Battery/Wired) and its settings.

For Wired models the recording length is 60sec and the delay before a new recording starts is a few seconds.

For Battery models the max recording length is 30sec and there will always be a longer delay to help extend battery life. The delay can be reduced to a minimum by changing…

Settings > Motion Settings > Motion Frequency setting > Frequent

but this can shorten the battery life deoending on how many additional recordings are triggered. It’s a balancing act and the 30sec max record length is independent of how the camera is actually powered i.e. Battery model wired to transformer or solar is still max 30sec.
