#Ring 2 sleep mode liveview drivers#

I will most likely go to Nest or Arlo who have realized this and able to accomodate customers. It would be unfortunate since it’s a decent product. If not, I’m returning all my Ring products to Amazon and Costco and warning others that they cannot use it this way. Hopefully the Ring Community Mgr will read this and get back to us all as to what Product Management has in the works to address this. Either way it’s a much needed feature and monitoring this way is a real life use case. That is, unless there is some technical limitation on the hardware side. This is not a difficult ask and it seems like a software upgrade. I’m now finding out that I can’t and Ring has no answer as to whether this will be a feature in the product roadmap or not. Unfortuntely I bought almost $2K worth of other cameras and Security System as well thinking I could have Live View on for periods at a time (i.e., to monitor kids playing outside or monitoring a Baby while playing or sleeping…motion alerts don’t help in this situation).

Called Support and they said there’s nothing they can do. However, I ended up with the same surprise - I can’t keep Live View on for more than 10min. This will allow viewing of video within the SmartThings app. Tip: for the best SmartThings integration, change your Device Handler Type to Ring Doorbell Pro.

I figured it was a driver issue, but none of the drivers available for my laptop are for power management. The Ring easily integrated with the SmartThings hub. If you do not have a Live View Bar Tap Device Settings below the image of the Stick Up Cam. I have wired Stick Up cam as well and per advertisement bought it to monitor our Baby. On my Windows 8 CP installation, I have no Sleep option on the Shut Down menu. Go to your Ring app and tap on the three lines on the top left of the Dashboard screen.
