Discover reasons why your Ring Peephole Cam isn't detecting knocks and explore solutions to enhance its functionality in this helpful guide.

Why won't Ring Peephole Cam detect knocks

 

Possible Reasons for Non-Detection

 

  • Device Settings: The Ring Peephole Cam may have default settings that don't include knock detection, or its sensitivity to motion might be set too low.
  •  

  • Camera Angle: The angle at which the camera is installed could be insufficient to detect knocks, especially if the door or peephole is designed in a specific way.
  •  

  • Software Limitations: The software might be programmed to not recognize knocks since this camera is primarily designed for motion-based detection.
  •  

  • Physical Obstructions: Obstructions near the peephole could interfere with its ability to detect the vibrations or sound from a knock.
  •  

  • Battery Issues: If the device is running low on battery, it may not function optimally, including failure to detect knocks.

 

Solutions to Enable Knock Detection

 

  • Adjust Camera Settings: Check the Ring app for settings that could enhance sensitivity. Increase the motion and sound detection settings if available.
  •  

  • Reposition the Camera: Ensure that the camera is properly aligned with the peephole and is not obstructed by anything, including thick doors or other materials.
  •  

  • Update Firmware: Make sure that the camera’s software is up to date, as updates may improve functionality and could include enhancements to detection algorithms.
  •  

  • Reset the Device: Perform a quick reset of the device to refresh its system. Often resetting can solve minor glitches that may prevent detection.
  •  

  • Consult Support: If all else fails, reach out to Ring support. There might be a specific issue with your device, or they could guide you with advanced settings to enable knock detection.
