If your Ring Peephole Camera 2K is showing this problem, working through the checks below in order will resolve it in the large majority of cases.
What This Problem Means
When the Ring Peephole Camera 2K goes offline it loses its connection and stops sending alerts or streaming video. This is almost always a power or Wi-Fi issue rather than a hardware fault.
Common Symptoms
- Red or no indicator light on the camera
- No motion alerts being received
- Live View fails to connect in the Ring app
- Device shown as offline in the Ring app
- Last event shown was some time ago
Safe Checks You Can Try
1. Check the battery level
Open the Ring app, tap the camera and check the battery level. If it is low, remove the Quick Release Battery Pack and charge it via USB until the indicator shows full, then reinsert it and wait for the camera to reconnect.
2. Restart the camera and router
Remove the Quick Release Battery Pack from the back of the camera, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert it. The camera will restart automatically. Also restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Many offline issues clear with a clean restart of both.
3. Check Wi-Fi signal strength
In the Ring app go to Device Settings and check the Wi-Fi signal strength. A weak signal is the most common cause of battery cameras going offline. Move the camera closer to your router temporarily to test, or add a Wi-Fi extender.
4. Check for network changes
If you have recently changed your Wi-Fi password, upgraded your router or switched broadband provider, the camera will have lost its saved credentials. In the Ring app go to Device Settings and reconnect to Wi-Fi.
5. Check the minimum upload speed
The Ring Peephole Camera 2K requires a minimum upload speed of 5 Mbps. Test your upload speed at fast.com. If it is below this, the camera may struggle to maintain its connection.
