I actually like the light. I see people look at my camera when they walk pass my drive way. It helps become more of a deterrent for me anyway but I can see it be annoying in doors
Good information- I see your infrared lights are beside (on either side) of your main lens so do you know what pinhole lights above & below the main lens are about? Thanks for your input!
It is best to put the cams under cover. They will last way longer when you keep if from the elements of the weather and sun. Most ring cameras are water resistant put not waterproof.
Question… can you still see the room just as well when viewing it from your phone with the light covered? I thought the blue light’s job was to illuminate the subject moving, so if I don’t have it will the image just show up black/dark?
Don't worry. This LED doesn't illuminate the room. (It is just bright, as in, hurts your eyes to look at it.) You can test it - turn off the lights - you'll see a bright dot of blue in a dark room. Blue LED's are the "cheapest." That's why companies keep making products with blue lights. (Even though they are bad for our circadian rhythms.) In some areas, cameras are required to have a light on them - for legal reasons. (IE alert people a camera is in their vicinity for privacy.) I surmise that's what the blue light is about. Legal CYA. They could make a "safe" color, like red, or amber. But - they'd rather save literally 1 penny or less on blue. Blue lights prevent blinking - and dry out our eyes. Pilots don't have blue lights in the cockpit for this reason. It causes eye strain, irritability, and fatigue without sleepiness.
I wouldn’t recommend Ring outdoor cams because your neighbors may start behaving strangely, become suspicious of you, and may even attack you. Best that no one outside your home knows when your cams are recording. Seems these security companies aren’t very good at security. What is secure about that blue light? That blue light is gonna compromise your security! The blue light even enables a crook to time his movements avoiding detection. It’s a huge security risk, and it’s ridiculous.
why is it so hard to find information about the ring camera from the company? How are people supposed to buy something without knowing much? If the battery is not completely dead and still has some life in it, is it okay to charge it? How long should I leave it in to be recharged? There are two lights on the battery. One orange and one green. Do they both need to be green to be fully charged or only one needs to be green to be charged.
Um -okay guys, I got this one -- Grandpa, did you read the card insert and little booklet that was in the box with the cams? Pretty helpful that little bit, explains most things pretty well. There was also a website address --not a physical address, so dont try driving there, you have poke the letters on the keyboard hooked up to the picture box to bring up the company's channel-- its printed on the included materials for any questions or issues. #1 Now, the batteries can be charged even if there is power left inside them. Its perfectly okay, wont hurt a thing... just try to let it get to about 1/4 power to get the longest cycles(charge/discharge) out of them. #2 Leave the battery on the charger until the battery light (single green one) is solid green -with no other color lights on- you can assume it is totally charged. You can also verify this within the Ring app by looking at the specific camera and going to the "Device health" section for individual camera/device. (I've lightly engraved little Roman numerals into the back of each camera and device and include that in the name of location so I dont get them mixed up when charging and making this a little more convenient.) If you have anymore difficulty I'm sure you probably have a grandkid or two wrast'ln around the back 40 you can get to show you how it works. You could always do the google too. Just ask it any questions you may have and it'll probably find the answers. Just right click the mouse (again, not a real rodent) and speak clearly into the red light on the bottom. If it doesn't work then first time try it again but speak alot louder making sure everyone in the room is quiet. It didnt work to well for my parents, but they did say the mouse was kinda old and probably didnt have any good hearing left. 😂😂Sorry for all that, in all seriousness the numbered answers I gave are accurate and reliable. All the other smartas$ery you can disregard. I'm honestly just some bored wanker who has stayed up far past my bedtime. If you have anymore questions about anything feel free to ask, next time I wont be such a turd. 😁Lol, hopefully no hard feelings bro, cheers.
So my camera must be newer. It has a circle light. Ima need a bigger sticker? It's interfering with the glass. I have it as a back up facing outside due to my paranoid schizophrenic neighbor trying to break in .
Debating whether to get this or another stick up outdoor/indoor. Stick up is on sale $25 more. Both fairly same.. except no cord on it so I can hide it better and still runs if power goes out (with UPS on router). The indoor from another review has color night vision feature though.
The red lights can be covered as well I cover it up with up electric tape and the blue light just cut a square that's big enough to cover it as long as it not on the white part you won't have any problems the sensor is at the very bottom of the cameras and the auto night fluid right above the lens that dot sorry for typing let me know if it works ok for you
EDIT: Still need help!! But, I did notice that I must have a new camera since my blue light is below the camera lens and the night vision detector is above. I just noticed that on your camera the two are next to each other. Maybe the design of my camera does not allow modifications like this. When I tell you I have a piece of tape just barely big enough. I mean, I'm talking small. And, it still prevents motion detection. I'm stumped at the moment. HELP! For some reason my camera stops detecting motion no matter how small the piece of tape is. I modified my piece of electrical tape to make it even smaller (to the point it just barely covers the light) and it still doesn't work. I don't understand, because the piece of tape you used was much larger than the one I used, and I am still having trouble. When I take the tape off and it detects perfectly. I have fooled around with it for several days now. Cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!
FACTS. They just got sued for it. Low level employees had access to everything. They were watching in woman's bedrooms and all sorts of stuff. I read an article about the lawsuit the other day and one of the employees was handing out free cameras just so he could log in and watch. I mean........ You have to consider this for sure.
it is stupid you can't just disable the light in the app. I know most crimianls don't care these days but for the ones that do care, nothing like having a bozi on the camera

I did this same trick for the check engine light on my car!
Lol!

Buying an security camera against unwanted people but gives a blue light when you watch the live feed? (Wtf moment)😂
It’s ridiculous for the price that it’s not a built in feature
Totally agreed

The pinholes are the for the speaker.
This was a must. Easy and took 10 seconds.
Is the outdoor's " Ring
Stick Up Cam Battery" waterproof and rainproof, or should it be covered??
It is best to put the cams under cover. They will last way longer when you keep if from the elements of the weather and sun. Most ring cameras are water resistant put not waterproof.
Does it affect the night vision?
No.
I just this to my ring cameras out side and it work just fine trying to trick those creepy people in to thinking the camera doesnt work smart idea
I covered everything
Oh dang how did that work out?

Does covering the blue light affect the motion sensor or the camera in any way ?
It doesn't affect the motion sensor or anything. Just make sure if you cover up the light that the tap is just enough to cover the blue light.
@@VibrantDeals how to disable or cover up actions in the room, please :-)?

brilliant idea, thx for the info
Would it still work if I cover the red lights 🤔
Yes it works correctly I covered up both with electric tape blue light and red lights It work just fine The sensors at the very bottom of the camera
So my camera must be newer. It has a circle light. Ima need a bigger sticker? It's interfering with the glass. I have it as a back up facing outside due to my paranoid schizophrenic neighbor trying to break in .

How did you turn off the chime for the motion when someone walks past it
😆👍Genius

nice porsh
Why can’t you not cover up the infrared lights
Then you won't have night vision.
What does a solid red light mean
Not sure but the flashing red light means incorrect wifi password.
Vibrant Deals ok thank you I just learned it means recording
Usually when it’s dark, it turns on night mode or sum thing. To see better in the dark
@@AkEkooo can the red light be covered as well?
You have to cover red light, it's an infered / night vision mode light, for night time recording. Visible to ppl aswell.
Is there a way to turn off the light entirely?
What is the answer to the question
Do any of the LEDS show or change color if someone is looking at it through the app?
Yes. The blue light comes on any time the Ring is actively recording or being viewed.
it is stupid you can't just disable the light in the app. I know most crimianls don't care these days but for the ones that do care, nothing like having a bozi on the camera
How to hide a a person in a ring camera footage
You Need Buy Echo Dot With Clock 4th Generation!!!!!!
I did the same thing to my Ring camera.
I thought this was chrisfix
What kind of neighborhood you live in with all the cams inside the house or are you ease dropping on everyone AWKWARD!!!🤣
I use mine inside for my teens and pets. I like to check in on them when I’m not home
Great trick but don't forget to cover red night inferred light, that is still visible to ppl..
Dude he just said in the video if you do that you fuck up your motion sensor
All you have to do is go to Device settings and go to video settings and turn off color vision and it’ll remove the blue light no need for black tape
My color vision is off and it still has the blue light
Yeah, this is not true.
Worked for me.
