You can easily customize and adjust the Video Recording Length for your video doorbell or security cameras in the Ring app. For battery-powered devices, shorter recordings generally mean longer battery life. Wired video doorbells and security cameras receive a constant supply of power, so you can choose whichever recording length you prefer without this trade-off.
How to Change Video Recording Length
To change the recording length of your video doorbell or security camera:
- Tap the three lines on the top left of your dashboard in the Ring app.
- Tap on Devices.
- Select the device you want to adjust.
- Tap Device Settings.
- Tap Video Settings.
- Tap Video Recording Length.
- For battery-powered devices, choose the following recording lengths: 15, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90, or 120 seconds.
- For wired devices, choose the following recording lengths: 50, 60, 90, or 120 seconds.
Note: If Advanced Motion Detection is on, recordings may end early if the motion stops.
Advanced Motion Detection
Advanced Motion Detection is a feature in the Ring app that helps you easily customize motion detection for your home. Previously, Motion Verification was a separate feature in the Ring app under Motion Settings. Currently, it’s on by default when Advanced Motion Detection is enabled.
