Doorbell 3 Plus Video Freezing

Question

I got a Doorbell 3 Plus last week and it was working fine until the last few days. Any video recordings freeze after a second or so (usually just after the pre-roll). The sound seems to keep going after the video freezes. I've tried resetting and updating the firmware but it hasn't fixed the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Was there ever a solution to this issue?  The purpose of the RING video doorbell is to provide additional security for the home.  However that becomes worthless when after the video recording starts, the video actually freezes with only the sound coming through, only for the video to resume after the motion event occurs.  I've tried restarting the device, tried changing wifi networks, tested wifi speed, removed and re-installed the ring app on my phone. None of this make any difference.
