Vehicle Battery Usage for Car Cam

Ring Car Cam is designed to shut off automatically when a vehicle’s battery goes below a certain voltage. This happens to prevent excessive battery drain.

Several factors can impact battery life such as:

  1. The battery’s age.
  2. How often the vehicle is driven.
  3. Other electrical devices active in the vehicle. 

You can change the battery setting before Car Cam goes into power saving mode.

  • Low
    (Default): Shortest active time.
  • Medium
    : Best for vehicles that are not driven frequently.
  • High
    : Longest active time.

To Change Battery Settings in the Ring app:

  1. Tap the menu on the top left.
  2. Tap 
    Devices
    • Select Car Cam
