1
Check Ring's official status page
Visit status.ring.com to see if Ring is reporting an active incident for the specific features you're having trouble with.

Use local chime for in-home alerts

Your Ring doorbell's physical chime still works locally even when the cloud is down — you'll still hear the doorbell ring at home.

Check Ring history when service returns

Ring devices continue recording motion events locally in some configurations. Check your timeline when cloud service is restored.

Use Alexa for local announcements

If connected to Alexa devices, some Ring alerts can still trigger local Alexa announcements during cloud service disruptions.

Frequently asked questions about Ring status

Is Ring down right now?

Check status.ring.com for official status. If Ring is reporting an active incident, cloud-dependent features like Live View and notifications will be affected.

Why is Ring Live View not working?

Live View failures can be caused by Ring server outages, weak Wi-Fi signal on your doorbell, or router firewall settings. Check status.ring.com and your device's signal strength.

Why am I not getting Ring motion alerts?

Motion notification failures during outages are usually server-side. If your internet is working but alerts aren't coming through, check Ring's status page for notification service issues.

Why does my Ring camera show as offline?

Ring cameras show as offline when they lose internet connectivity or when Ring servers are unavailable. Check your Wi-Fi signal, router, and Ring's status page to diagnose the cause.

Does Ring work without internet?

Ring devices require internet to connect to Ring's cloud for Live View, recordings, and notifications. Without internet, only the local chime doorbell function works.
