How to Set Up Motion Schedules to Optimize Motion Alerts
With Motion Schedules, you can schedule periods of time when you don't want to receive Motion Alerts from your Ring device(s).
- When a Motion Schedule is active, motion events will still be recorded, but no notifications will be sent.
- The clock icon will display on the Device dashboard when there is an active schedule.
For example, if you know the trash is picked up every Tuesday between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m., you may want to turn off your Motion Alerts during that time frame.
