If your Ring Battery Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is showing night vision not working, this guide covers the most common causes and the checks you can safely carry out before contacting support.

What This Problem Means

The doorbell is not switching to night vision mode or is producing poor quality footage in low light.

Common Symptoms

• Video is completely black or very dark at night
• Night vision infrared lights do not appear to activate
• Grainy or unclear footage in low-light conditions

Safe Checks You Can Try

Check Night Vision settings

1. Open the Ring app and go to Video Settings.
2. Confirm Night Vision is set to Auto or On.

Check for glare and reflection

1. Pointing the camera at glass or walls causes infrared to reflect back into the lens.
2. Adjust the angle using a Corner Kit or Wedge Kit.

Clean the camera lens

1. Wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth.
2. Dirt or condensation reduces night vision effectiveness.

Restart the doorbell

1. Remove the Quick Release Ultra Battery Pack from the base of the doorbell, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert until it clicks. Also restart your router by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Check ambient light levels

1. If there is a nearby light source the camera may not switch to night vision automatically.
2. In genuine darkness the camera will switch automatically — this is normal.
