In a world filled with smart technology, many of us are familiar with Ring video doorbells. These devices are perfect for keeping an eye on our homes when we’re not there, and they also come in handy for checking who is at the property – even our loved ones. However, sometimes these doorbells show us more than we bargained for.
One woman recently shared her experience of the Ring doorbell mysteriously malfunctioning whenever her husband is at home. The cameras would glitch and appear to be turned off, leaving her puzzled. When she confronted her husband about it, she was met with a defensive attitude. She wondered if she was wrong for asking him what was happening due to his reaction.
To seek advice and opinions, she turned to Reddit and explained her situation. She mentioned that they had recently gotten married and moved in together, and their relationship was great overall. However, she couldn’t help but wonder why the cameras only malfunctioned when her husband was home.
The woman explained that her husband works remotely, so he is frequently at home. Whenever he is there, the cameras would glitch and she wouldn’t be able to view anything on them. She also mentioned that he was the main account holder for the camera system, so she couldn’t delete anything. This raised her suspicions even more.
She decided to keep track of when these “glitches” occurred and noticed that they always happened when her husband was home alone. She asked her kids about his activities during those times, and they mentioned that he was usually playing video games or in work meetings. This made her even more curious about what was going on.
One day, she tried to check the garage camera to see if her husband had left it open again, as they often ended up with high power bills due to this. However, she encountered an error message saying “live view failed.” She sent screenshots to her husband and asked if he knew why the cameras weren’t working.
Unfortunately, when she confronted him about it, he became defensive and accused her of accusing him of hiding things. She clarified that she didn’t think he was cheating, but she couldn’t understand why the cameras only malfunctioned when he was home. Other Reddit users chimed in, expressing their concerns about the husband’s behavior and suggesting setting up secret cameras or nanny cams to get to the bottom of the situation.
It’s a puzzling situation for this newly married couple, and it remains to be seen what the true cause of the camera glitches is. If you have a similar story to share, you can email Niamh.Kirk@reachplc.com.
