Adjusting the Video Recording Length on Battery Powered Devices

In the Ring app, you can control when your Ring camera or doorbell stops recording after motion is detected.

This feature requires a compatible Ring Protect subscription.

For battery-powered devices, shorter recordings generally mean longer battery life. Wired devices receive a constant supply of power, so you can choose any recording length without impacting battery life.
