It&#x2019;s a next-generation Security Camera designed for your indoors, to bolster the security around your house. I can say I am quite impressed with its 1080p full HD resolution, two way audio, HD Video Recording features, and a viewing angle that is wide enough to cover an excellent stretch inside my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just the other day when I hosted a quiet family dinner, I disabled the audio and motion recording on my Ring Camera, so that none of our guests were disturbed. There isn&#x2019;t even a second <a href=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/ring-doorbell-delay\/\">&nbsp;delay in Ring Notifications<\/a> on my Smartphone and it would have kept buzzing all the time, sensing people moving around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also pointed it towards the wall so that there&#x2019;s nothing on the Live-View and we could enjoy our private time but I found it quite odd to notice my <strong>Ring Camera making clicking noise!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That shouldn&#x2019;t have been the case, at all since I had manually disabled Live-View and recordings on it. I convinced my guests that there was nothing at all to worry about but yes, it didn&#x2019;t leave my mind ever since.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after everyone departed, I sat to dig deeper into the matter and to my relief, I found out that there&#x2019;s nothing to be wary of when you hear your <strong>Ring Camera <\/strong>or the <strong>Ring Doorbell making clicking noise.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#x2019;s very normal for a Ring Doorbell or a Ring Camera to make a &#x2018;clicking sound&#x2019; when they switch to ( or from) the Night Vision Mode. In other words, when there&#x2019;s very minimal light around.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could now relate to my <strong>Ring Doorbell clicking noise <\/strong>when sometimes at night,&nbsp; while I would try to fall asleep, the Doorbell would keep making clicking noises and to annoy me, it would sense a dog or a random car crossing the road. All of it made sense now !&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know, it would be tempting to mute this clicking noise on your Ring Device but what I learnt is, it&#x2019;s not possible !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You cannot disable the Night Vision Mode on your Ring Doorbell or a Ring Camera, unless you have the Ring Doorbell Pro 2, which is the only exception here<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The night vision can only be turned off on a Ring Doorbell Pro 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I will discuss every possible detail about how these Ring devices work in the night-vision mode and why is that they make this clicking noise. Additionally, you&#x2019;ll also learn here, what possibly can be done to fix or reduce these clicking noises<strong> <\/strong>on the Ring devices.

But thankfully, this is usually not a matter of concern and here&#x2019;s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The Ring doorbells have been designed to work day and night. When it&#x2019;s dark,&nbsp; the Ring doorbells use their<strong> IR ( Infrared ) Cut Sensor<\/strong> to watch and record any motion.&nbsp;<\/li><li>That&#x2019;s why, the day-time recordings are different from the night-time recordings.<\/li><li><strong>When this IR Cut Filter makes a movement inside your Ring Doorbell, it makes a clicking noise, as this filter physically moves away ( or towards) the Camera, depending on the amount of light around the Ring device, for blocking the infrared lights<\/strong>.<br><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-8246\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28.jpg\" alt=\"infrared lights\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/28-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li><li>If this filter is stuck, you may also view <em>fairly pink\/purple video recordings<\/em>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Possible Reasons Why Your Ring Doorbell Might Be Making A Clicking Noise :&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be a few other reasons too that can make the IR Cut Filter move, resulting in your Ring Camera or a <strong>Ring Doorbell clicking noise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>In the case of a Ring Doorbell, <strong>sometimes it can be the doorbell transformer that might be making a clicking noise<\/strong>, in times of a power fluctuation.<\/li><li>It has also been reported by some users that due to the<strong> doorbell&#x2019;s wiring<\/strong> too, they have noticed clicking noises on their Ring Chime, inside the house.

Why is my Ring Camera making a static noise ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>Mostly, a static noise on the Ring devices is caused due to network interference. In such a case, you must check the signal strength and RSSI on your Ring Camera if they are sufficient for audio and video streaming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Why is my Ring doorbell making a high-pitched noise ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your Ring doorbell exhibits a high-pitched noise, it can be fixed by performing a hard reset on the doorbell. When the Ring doorbell will be set up afresh, such issues get resolved and the doorbell works smoothly. To reset, you&#x2019;ll need to hold the reset button on your Ring doorbell for at least 20 seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Does a Ring Camera trigger with sound ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>No, a Ring Camera can only be triggered by motion. To further sensitize your Ring Camera&#x2019;s triggers, you can increase motion sensitivity and motion frequency on the Ring Camera, along with, broadening the area of motion detection zones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. Why is my Ring doorbell fuzzy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>A Ring doorbell can be fuzzy if you experience poor quality of audios and videos when you watch Live View and Recorded Videos on the Ring App. Most commonly, it is due to a weak Wi-fi connection or a case of data loss. It can also be due to few incompatible settings on your router.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. Why is my Ring Camera making a siren noise?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>There&#x2019;s a siren on the indoor Ring Camera but for it to be active and buzzing, it needs to be enabled. It&#x2019;s not a routine thing for a Ring Camera to be making this siren noise. If this sound you hear on your Ring Camera, is different from the siren sound from the Live View, reset the Ring Camera by holding the reset button for about 20 seconds. Then, this siren sound should go off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The clicking sound on your Ring devices can hardly be heard during the daytime as there&#x2019;s a lot of hustle and bustle around but it can be a little annoying at night since everything else is silent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On some of the Ring devices, as discussed above, on the Ring Doorbell Pro 2 and the Ring Security Cameras, it is possible to stop them from making this clicking noise but if you do so, there&#x2019;s a catch to it !&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the conventional trade off for having a Home Security System is between freedom and Security. To enjoy more of one, you&#x2019;ll have to compromise with the other and sadly, this is the only way out !
