Here’s how to adjust the number of motion alerts in the Ring app:
- Motion Scheduling:The motion scheduling control allows you to schedule coverage to avoid receiving alerts triggered by a regular occurrence. For example, if you know your garbage always gets picked up between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. on Tuesdays, you can schedule your motion detection to turn off during that time.
- Motion Sensitivity: The Motion Sensitivity slider will help you fine tune the area your device covers to trigger a motion event. If you receive too many motion alerts, it might be a good idea to use this setting to minimize Motion Sensitivity.
To adjust Motion Sensitivity in the Ring app:
- Tap thethree lines (☰)on the top left of your dashboard.
- TapDevices.
- Tap the device you want to view.
- TapMotion Settings.
- UnderMotion Sensitivity, use the slider to adjust motion detection sensitivity.
