How Do I Turn on Night Vision on My Ring Doorbell
Assuming you would like tips on how to enable night vision for your Ring Doorbell:
If you have a first generation Ring Doorbell, there is no built-in night vision feature and it cannot be added. For all other models of the Ring Doorbell, night vision can be enabled in the device settings within the Ring app.
To do this, open the Ring app and select the doorbell you wish to adjust under the Devices tab. Then, tap Device Settings > General Settings > Night Vision. From here, you can toggle night vision on or off.
It’s important to note that enabling nightvision will use more battery power than if it were disabled. If you’re concerned about battery life, we recommend only enabling night vision when needed.
Why Can’T I See the Image Clearly on My Ring Doorbell at Night
One of the most common complaints about Ring Doorbells is that the image quality at night isn’t very good. There are a few reasons for this. First, doorbell cameras don’t have built-in infrared (IR) illuminators like many other security cameras do.
IR illuminators are used to provide better nighttime visibility by shining invisible near-infrared light on the scene, which is then picked up by the camera’s sensor and converted into an image.
Without an IR illuminator, doorbell cameras have to rely on ambient light sources like streetlights or porch lights to illuminate the scene. But even if there is some ambient light available, it’s often not enough to produce a clear image.
That’s because doorbell cameras typically have a very wide field of view (FOV), which means they’re trying to capture a large area in front of the door in low light conditions. The wider the FOV, the more challenging it is to produce a clear image at night.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to improve the nighttime image quality from your Ring Doorbell.
First, make sure that there is some kind of ambient light source available – even if it’s just a small lamp near the door. The more light that’s available, the better chance you have of getting a clear image.
How Does Ring Doorbell’S Night Vision Work
Ring’s Doorbell cameras use an infrared sensor to detect heat signatures, allowing them to see in the dark. The camera’s lens is coated with a special filter that allows it to absorb light at specific wavelengths, and the sensor is sensitive to these wavelengths. When it’s dark out, the camera will switch to night vision mode and you’ll be able to see a clear image on your screen.
Conclusion
Although the Ring Doorbell comes equipped with a night vision feature, it is not automatically turned on. In order to take advantage of this feature, you will need to manually turn it on through the settings menu. Here’s how:
1. Open the Ring app and tap on the doorbell that you want to enable night vision for.
2. Tap on the “Settings” cog icon in the top-right corner.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Night Vision.”
4. Toggle the switch next to “Enable Night Vision” to the ON position.
5. That’s it! You can now view your footage in low-light conditions or even complete darkness.
