For thinking Ring doorbell is rubbish?!

Has anyone else had this, I have a ring doorbell, something happened this morning that I need a record of but it's not on there, it's completely missing. The doorbell doesn't show me leaving only coming back. What's the point of it? I can't get a significant piece of information.

Maybe the WiFi signal dropped so it didn't record?

I don't mind subscriptions just can't understand why it's not picked up this event

My Eufy picks up everything. I even have some rather sweet footage of a deer in the garden and a little Robin perching on the door handle.

I've seen footage of people leaving their homes, perhaps it's an issue with yours?

It's a doorbell not a bloody CCTV system

It's suppose to detect motion that's what I'm paying for

Get a Eufy, much better all round and no subscription required. Also, you retain ownership of your data. Who knows what Amazon is doing with all the data it collects, it gives me Nineteen Eighty-Four vibes.

Ring doorbells are amazing, because they record all local crimes in minute detail so that you can pass footage to the police and have perpetrators arrested immediately. Only on Mumsnet.
