Is your security camera not working as well as it did when you got it? If your camera isn't playing audio, looks blurry, or doesn't seem to stay connected to your Wi-Fi network, you'll most likely need to reset it to its factory settings. Unfortunately, to do this, you will need to be near your camera since you can't do this remotely with the app or website. This How.com.vn article teaches you how to reboot your Ring camera using the physical buttons on it. Find the correct model of your camera in the Ring app by going to The Ring App > Devices > Your Camera > Device Health > Device Details > Product Name.
Steps
Locate the orange button. It's the button that you used to set it up. You'll need to lift the cover on the back of the camera to find it.[1]- This works for every Ring camera, including the Spotlight Cam.
- You'll need to take off the battery cover to find this setup button for Stick Up Cam Battery, 2nd and 3rd gen as well as the Stick Up Cam Plug-in.
Press and hold the button for 10-20 seconds. A light should start flashing on the front of your camera.[2]Advertisement
Wait for it to reset then set it up again. Once you press the button and the light begins to flash, it will flash for a few minutes while the camera resets to factory settings. When the reset process is complete, the light will turn off and you'll be able to set it up again.[3]
Open the Ring app. This app features the word "ring" in white while the dot on the "i" is orange.[4]- You'll need to do this before you sell or give away your camera. If you don't remove the camera from your account, the other person will not be able to add the camera to their account.
Tap the camera you intend to remove from your account. More details will open about that camera.
Tap Device Settings. It's next to a gear icon.
Tap General Settings. You'll see this near the bottom of the menu.
