I am having the exact same issue. Has been happening for the last 2-3 weeks. Very annoying. My wifi signal is also showing as weak, but my front door bell has had no issues...

Has anyone tried what they suggest? Mine has been doing it for awhile now and I have even added a range extender which is no more than 10 ft from my cameras and maybe 3ft from my doorbell

I had tried the suggestion but it didn't help me. I'm convinced its just because I have a crappy signal back there. I haven't been having issues lately but it still does it now and then.

Ok thank you. We have better internet out our house now than we did at our previous house, but our cameras never went out at the old house.

This problem has persisted for me over the last few months. If I reset the device it works for a few hours or a few days if I'm lucky. Then it goes back to black recordings. Is there anything else I can do? It's honestly quite ridiculous that I am paying to save black recordings. Upload/Download speeds and Device Health have no indications of any issues.

Hello all. I had the same issue and came here looking for a solution. In another thread I read about this topic, someone said they uninstalled and reinstalled the camera and it fixed it so I tried it and it worked. No more black vidoes. It's a simple fix for the problem however Ring apparently doest know what the problem is and suggests its a network issue.
