If your Ring camera making noise, it can be a cause for concern, particularly if it's a clicking, buzzing, or static sound. Basically, however, the noises tend to hint at some sort of a hardware issue, or interference, or it could be a software glitch. Here are some reasons that might be causing the noise:
- Interference: The most common source of noise is interference. Interference from your router, baby monitors, or microwaves operating on the same frequency might disrupt the audio.
- Poor Wi-Fi Connection: The weakest internet signal leads to distorted or choppy audio. Just reposition your router or upgrade to ensure smooth video and sound transmission.
- Old Firmware: Outdated Ring camera firmware update can bring unexpected hassle such as unwanted sounds. Therefore always ensure to upgrade your camera's firmware version via the Ring app.
- Defective Setup or Hardware: Wrong installation might result in vibrations and that low humming. Double-check installation and make sure your Ring camera is firmly secured.
- Environmental: The wind, insects, or debris hitting the camera may generate some noise, more so if the microphone is sensitive.
Restart your device to try and resolve the issue, look for firmware updates, reduce interference, and check the camera positioning. If the noise still persists, visit our website and contact with our technical Support for further diagnosis.
Proper setup and the installation of maintenance procedures lead to a quiet working Ring Camera.
