Ring Outdoor Camera Plus Not Recording
Is your Ring Outdoor Camera Plus failing to save recordings? Here are the checks you can safely carry out before contacting support.
What This Problem Means
To save and review recorded video, the Ring Outdoor Camera Plus needs an active Ring subscription and a stable wifi connection. Missing recordings are usually down to subscription status, motion settings or connectivity.
Common Symptoms
- No recorded clips appear in your Event History
- Live View works but nothing is saved
- Some events record but many are missing
- Recordings stopped after a subscription lapsed
Safe Checks You Can Try
1. Check Your Ring Subscription
Saving recorded video needs an active Ring Home subscription. Open the menu then Ring Home (Subscriptions) and confirm your plan is active and covers this camera. Without a subscription you get live notifications but recordings are not saved.
2. Check the Camera Is Online
Open Device Health and confirm the camera is online with a good signal and adequate battery. A camera that keeps dropping offline cannot upload recordings.
3. Check Motion Settings
Recordings are triggered by motion. Confirm motion detection and recording are enabled and your Motion Zones cover the right area.
4. Check Modes and Schedules
Check your Modes settings (Disarmed, Home, Away) and any recording schedule, as these can stop recording at certain times.
5. Restart the Camera
Remove the battery for 30 seconds and reinsert it, then trigger a test event once it is back online to confirm recording has resumed.
