Turn off light when recording
I saw discussion about this, but was wondering if Ring has updated the option yet? I’m Blink, Nest, and other home security networks, you can turn off the recording light so people aren’t aware it’s recording. It defeats the purpose when installing for home care protection.
is there a way to turn it off as there is for other companies?

I use electrical tape over the blue light. Not over the red light or night vision will be disabled.

I too am waiting for this feature to be available on ring devices..
I use a tiny blob of liquid paper over the blue light and then colour it with a sharpie so it blends in. It’s easy to flick off when you no longer need it and doesn’t damage the device at all..
I had tried using a small piece of electrical tape but the extreme temperatures cause the tape to peel and fall off..

Hi @user_c85671. There has been no change. You are still not able to disable the blue light on a Stick Up Cam or Indoor Cam when it is recording.
