Uhm and how this actually works is if you look your event history for a particular device… no sorry not my event history… if I look at my timeline, I’ve got all my motion events but then between – so that’s an actual motion… then I think that’s actually me isn’t it! Anyway, whatever, in between a motion event you’ve got all these still images. But if you do find things get slower, then just do every one minute instead or even every three minutes. I think for me personally, especially since you know I’m doing this video on the – sort of – security camera dashboard, it makes sense to do every 30 seconds because it’ll fill in my timeline a lot better. Uhm, your mileage may vary but just try it out. Uhm to be honest, my timeline is fine even with this 30 seconds on. Uhm, you do get a warning with 30 seconds just saying it can slow down your timeline. You can do every three minutes, I tend to do every 30 seconds. So to turn it on, obviously just click the toggle and then you can choose how frequent you actually want this snapshot – Uhm, this still image – to be taken. So in between your motion events and your full recordings you’ve actually got… get this… slightly lower res snapshot capture that’s taken. So in other words, it fills in your timeline um, which is quite a handy feature. Uhm and basically what this does is it captures images regularly to show what happens between detected events. It was rolled out I think end of 2019 I believe, or start of 2020, so all your devices should have it now. Okay so for snapshot capture, um it’s not activated by default, um at least it wasn’t to my Ring Doorbell Pro or my Ring Indoor Cam, so what you need to do is go into each device, go to the settings up there, just go down to device settings, and then you’ve got this snapshot capture feature. Whilst it’s not quite as good obviously as viewing all the live feeds, snapshot capture images get refreshed every 30 seconds, so at least you can get a decent enough snapshot of what’s happening in all parts of your property without having to go out and spend a small fortune on professional quality security cameras. What you can actually do is use the snapshot capture feature and then you can log into your Ring dashboard and you can actually view all the feeds there on a single place, and I wanted to film this video and talk through how you can do this. Wait you… you can’t?! What do you mean?! Well I gotta film a YouTube video, I gotta give them something! Okay well as it turns out from my much more intelligent assistant over there, it’s not actually possible to – on a particular monitor – look at all the live feeds of all your different Ring devices, but worry not. Interesting question… no, no you can’t, no, not possible. You know in the movies where you’ve got security guards sitting in a security box somewhere, and they’re looking at a screen full of CCTV images – live feeds – of their CCTV cameras? And then Ethan Hunt or James Bond comes in and knocks them out, and disables the CCTV cameras? well I’m not going to show you how to knock people out, but I wanted to do this video and show you whether or not with your Ring cameras you’re able to actually get a TV screen or PC monitor and look at the actual individual camera feeds that are available?
