![]() The Ring Cam won’t turn on until the voltage is above the 12.80V threshold (like starting the vehicle). So it doesn’t matter what the capacity of the battery is, but rather the voltage the Ring sees. ![]() If you keep the voltage above that point, it won’t shut off. And if you tie Push Alerts to the data when it decides to shut down, that voltage is ~12.20 volts +/-0.05 Vdc. Basically, if you monitor the battery voltage (directly), the OBD-II voltage, the Ring Voltage (and current draw), you’ll end up with a nice chart of exactly what voltage the Car Cam sees. I also did some data logging… it seems the trigger point on the OBD-II port voltage is ~12.20 Vdc. Totally agree this should be OUR decision (like any other dash cam or accessory)! Ring is too wound around liability! They won’t let you use it if your OBD-II port is right of the steering column! That should be OUR decision as well. So make the software change so we have a car camera that’s actually worth having. If I have accessories plugged into my vehicle that drain the battery to the point it doesn’t start it, that’s on me, but at least give me the option to do that.īesides I have a rechargeable battery pack to jump start it if it gets that bad (which it won’t). So it matters to me that the camera works while my vehicle is parked in the garage, 12v battery level be damned. We had people get their garages broken into recently and stuff stolen out of both their garage and their vehicle. There should be a 4th option to let the user decide to keep running the car cam until the power gives out. With that said the camera should be able to live stream everything it sees for the entire time it’s plugged in. My 12v battery is charged by a 17kwh battery pack, which when parked in my garage is charge that battery pack is being charged by a wall outlet. I’m willing to bet the the “High Usage” setting lasts 6hrs regardless of your battery level. The problem here is it doesn’t even look at the battery level. If you are outside of the US, please visit here to see how to contact support. ![]() If this concern persists after adjusting the Vehicle Battery Usage setting and ensuring your battery is sufficiently charged, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available here. If the vehicle won’t be used for a while, unplug accessories like the Car Cam to protect its battery.If the Car Cam turns off too quickly, raise its Vehicle Battery Usage setting.Vehicles need to be driven at highway speeds now and then to keep the battery charged.It’s not recommend you use Car Cam if your vehicle’s battery is past its service life. This setting allows you to determine how soon Car Cam shuts off based on your driving behavior, battery age, and the environment. To control how long the Car Cam stays active between drives, you can change the Vehicle Battery Usage setting in the Ring app. The device will turn back on once the vehicle is started. ![]() After a drive, the Car Cam may turn off once it detects a certain vehicle battery level in order to ensure you’re able to start your vehicle. When your vehicle is parked, the Car Cam goes into a low-power monitoring mode. Hi The Ring Car Cam has a power management system which will turn itself off in advance of ever depleting the vehicle’s battery. ![]()
