Setting up Motion Schedules

With Motion Schedules, you can schedule periods of time when you do not 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 can use Motion Schedules to turn off your Motion Alerts during that time frame.

Note: When Motion Alerts are disabled due to Motion Scheduling, you cannot turn on Motion Alerts manually without cancelling the Motion Schedule. However, your cameras will still record during that time. Learn more about Motion Alerts.
