Stick Up Cam is updating

The initial update after your camera installs will take longer than subsequent updates. Your camera will tell you when the update is complete.

  • Ensure your camera’s battery is 100% charged prior to installing it. 
  • Charge the battery for five to 10 minutes, then reinsert it. 
    • You may need to try a different power outlet or micro-USB charging cable if there are no charging lights lighting up on the battery.

Stick up Cam is offline or not connecting to wifi

  • Check that all of your wires are properly plugged in and that the lights on the front of the router are on. You can also unplug your router for 30 seconds and see if your Stick Up Cam automatically reconnects when it is plugged back in.
  • Check to see whether another wifi device is having a problem connecting to the network.
  • Restart your router and run through the setup process again. Make sure you're close to your router and have your wifi password handy. 
  • Check the last reported signal strength for your Stick Up Cam in the Ring app. If it is poor, you may need to move the camera closer to your router or consider using a Chime Pro wifi extender.
