If you are experiencing poor audio or video quality during a Live View, but your recordings are fine: 1) This can be caused by either a poor connection between your mobile device and the cloud 2) or a connectivity problem between the Ring doorbell or security camera and your router.
If you are experiencing poor video or audio quality when viewing both the Live View and recorded videos in the Ring App, the problem is usually due to a wifi issue like signal or data loss. In some cases, this can be caused by settings in your router.
If your router is behind a couch or in a closet, move it to get a stronger signal.

Things to try first
- Check for low upload speeds. To determine whether or not the poor video or audio quality is caused by low upload speed, run a speed test from your PC or mobile device while connected to the same wifi access point to determine if your network can support Ring devices.
- Check for poor signal strength. A poor wifi signal can cause connectivity with your Ring device to be unreliable. Check the Device Health section of your Ring application to ensure the device’s RSSI is within an acceptable range.
