Ring Doorbell 2 Night Vision Not Working

Open the ring app.

Ring doorbell 2 night vision not working.

All i have done is turned on the porch light during the night and turned on the color night vision in video settings. This makes absolutely no sense to me as there is a front yard light on a pole no more than about 5 yards from the doorbell. Doorbell working as advertised. Ring s video doorbell 2 is a solid performer and will keep watch on your porch with day and night vision.

Night vision doesn t work. Not ringing your existing internal doorbell correctly. But ring has been tenacious and through constant. Your ring video doorbell pro is designed to draw power from the same 16 volt ac power transformer as your internal doorbell mechanism.

Your ring pro requires a power source that supplies a minimum of 16 volts ac. I covered the three infrared lights with black tape turned on the color night vision and the porch light and i get a good picture that way otherwise it s black and white and you cant see anything but shadows with the porch light on or off. Power pro is installed everything else is working fine i have reset the camera. Now the doorbell will work through the dark hours.

I did not cover up the infrared sensors with tape. Problems can arise however when a doorbell mechanism draws so much power that there s not enough left over to power your ring video doorbell pro. I think this started with the new update to the app.
