All these months, I have been genuinely impressed with its Video Streaming features, motion detectors and the way you can customise specific motion zones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ring doorbell is an absolute Security gadget which guards your house and protects it against trespassers, home-breakers and suspicious characters loitering in and around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#x2019;s why I chose to install the Ring doorbell over other Smart doorbells and I have been able to monitor my house easily when I&#x2019;m not around. Even if I have to stay late at the office, I am not anxious about my house&#8217;s security as I watch my door live using the Ring app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was until recently I realised that there was something wrong with it. I noticed my <strong>Ring doorbell slow to respond <\/strong>and with this, the notifications, Ring Chime, motion alerts ; all the functions were delayed due to some reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As luck would have it, I was expecting the delivery of an expensive package yesterday and I missed it due to the <strong>Ring doorbell notification delay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delivery boy rang my doorbell four times and even waited at the door, as per the recording on my Ring app but since I didn&#x2019;t receive the notification in time, I missed the package !!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after half an hour, all of sudden, all the notifications and alerts almost broke my Ring app ! How frustrating it was !! and despite having my own Smart Ring Video Doorbell !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was this ? Why did my<strong> Ring doorbell 2 lag<\/strong> ?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after researching a lot about this issue and with Matthew&#x2019;s technical support, I was able to identify the probable reasons for the <strong>Ring doorbell delay<\/strong> and could fix them as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And thereafter, I decided to compile this article for you to share my complete research on why does the <strong>Ring doorbell delay notification <\/strong>and what methods can you adopt to resolve the latency issues on your doorbell, the Chime and the motion sensors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-the-ring-doorbell-slow-to-respond\"><strong>Why Is The Ring Doorbell Slow To Respond ?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to figure out the reason for the delayed response of the Ring doorbell in order to decide upon what methods should be used to fix it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, whenever there is a delay in Ring notifications, it is assumed that it is because of the slow internet connection but this is not always true. There can be other factors like inadequate power supply to the doorbell, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#x2019;ve listed out the possible reasons here,&nbsp; which can cause delay in notifications on your Ring doorbell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

So, you should try it, too !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#x2019;s an explanation to this :&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>When the Ring doorbell is pressed, or senses a motion, it chimes and then, sends that data to the cloud which then, sends the data to your smartphone.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>When the data is sent to the Cloud, it uses the IP address to identify the Ring device and to whom the notification will be sent.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the IP Address is static, the Cloud can send the data more effectively and specifically to the Ring Device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12-1.jpg\" alt=\"Put Ring on a Static IP Address\" class=\"wp-image-7786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Start by logging in to your Router using your router&#x2019;s DHCP Settings.<\/strong><br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-7787\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-1.jpg\" alt=\"Start by logging in to your Router using your router&#x2019;s DHCP Settings.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Save an IP Address for your Ring doorbell specifically.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After I incorporated this step, for the first time ever, my phone began to buzz non-stop with notifications the whole day and I received them faster than before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, by reserving an IP address for your Ring device, you will see, there won&#x2019;t be any<strong> Ring doorbell delay in Chime<\/strong> and you&#x2019;ll receive notifications almost instantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>f)  Clear Cache and data for the Ring app<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Faulty Cache files or accumulation of Cache data can very well affect the notifications for your Ring doorbell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the aforementioned fixes haven&#x2019;t worked for you as yet, clear the Cache and data for your Ring app. This step will remove the damaged\/corrupted files from the app and renew the Ring app for operating seamlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Go to <strong>Settings <\/strong>on your phone, to clear the Cache from the Ring app.<br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-7788\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/14-1.jpg\" alt=\"Settings \" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/14-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/14-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/14-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/14-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li><li>Click on <strong>Apps Menu<\/strong> and select the <strong>Ring app<\/strong>.<br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-7789\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15-1.jpg\" alt=\"Apps Menu \" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li><li>On opening the Ring app, tap on &#x2018;Clear Cache&#x2019;

But if that didn&#x2019;t work out for you, it&#x2019;s better to do a hard reset, as in the factory reset on the doorbell. This also can be done through the Ring app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use these steps to hard reset the doorbell :<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Refer to steps above and <strong>restart <\/strong>the doorbell via Ring app.<\/li><li>After turning the doorbell <strong>&#x2018;on&#x2019;<\/strong>, go to <strong>Settings <\/strong>on the app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Keep scrolling down to find the <strong>Reset <\/strong>menu.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Click on <strong>&#x2018;Reset to Factory settings&#x2019;<\/strong> and click to confirm it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reset the doorbell by pressing the<strong> black button<\/strong> on the Ring doorbell.

Rather, none are !!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the doorbells work when they sense an activity or when a motion is triggered. The moment there is motion, the recording starts automatically on the doorbell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an inescapable delay between detecting motion and start recording.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard truth but Yes ! The Ring doorbell takes some time to start recording after it has sensed a motion and hence, the users have no choice but to put up with <a href=\"https:\/\/community.ring.com\/t\/delay-in-recording-getting-worse\/9637\"><strong>Ring doorbell delayed recording<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, don&#x2019;t lose hope on this !

Why is my Ring doorbell missing some motions ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>The most common reason for your Ring doorbell to miss some video motions is a poor wi-fi connection. Also, please check if your Ring Protect Subscription plan is still active and motion detection settings on your Ring device should also be enabled to prevent such an issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Why is it taking so long for my Ring doorbell to connect ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your Ring doorbell takes a long time to connect, it means that there is a problem with the connection between your doorbell and your phone. Either the Wi-fi signals are weak or the doorbell is not connected properly to the internet. If the speed of the internet is slow, in that case too, the Ring doorbell doesn&#8217;t connect instantly and takes time to connect<strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. What is the difference between motion detection and motion alert on a Ring doorbell ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>When the motion detector is &#x2018;on&#x2019; on the Ring doorbell, it detects every motion and it is even recorded in the Event history which you access on the Ring app. On the other hand, the motion alert or the Smart alert requires additional video processing which can delay the alert notifications. A motion alert is generally used for a person, package notifications or any other specific motion you wish to receive notification about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. Are Ring Cameras always recording ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>The Ring camera automatically starts to record a video when it senses a motion or if you require live streaming from the front door. At present, 24\/7 recording is not supported on the Ring Camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. Why does my Ring Camera not record at night ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If the Ring Camera isn&#x2019;t recording during the night time, check if the motion sensors on the doorbell are active and working. If they&#x2019;re on and it is still not recording, check if anything is obstructing the camera&#x2019;s FOV( Field Of Vision). Also, there should not be any scheduled time settings on the Ring Camera.
