Resetting a Ring camera is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. Whether you are dealing with a technical problem or want to start afresh, resetting your Ring camera is an effective solution. Here’s how to reset your Ring camera:
1. Press and hold the reset button: The reset button is typically located on the back of the camera. Use a paperclip or a pointed object to press and hold the button for at least 15 seconds. Release the button once the LED light on the front of the camera starts flashing.
2. Wait for the camera to reset: Once you release the reset button, the camera will begin the reset process. Wait for the LED light to stop flashing and turn solid blue. This may take a few minutes.
3. Reconnect the camera to your network: After the camera has reset, you will need to reconnect it to your Wi-Fi network. Follow the on-screen prompts in the Ring app to complete the setup process.
4. Test the camera: Once the camera is reconnected to your network, test it to ensure it is working properly. Open the Ring app and check for live video feed from the camera.
It is important to note that resetting your Ring camera will erase all settings and configurations, including any scheduled recordings and motion detection zones. Additionally, it is recommended to first try troubleshooting any issues with your camera before resetting it. If you are still experiencing problems, a reset may be necessary to resolve the issue.
