In your Ring Motion Settings, you have the ability to refine your Motion Alert Notifications to distinguish between People and Other Motions using Smart Alerts with a Ring Protect subscription plan.
The Smart Alerts option is in your Ring App, here's how to enable the feature:
- Go to the menu and tap Devices
- Tap the device you want to adjust
- Tap Motion Settings
- Tap Smart Alerts
- Tap Enable Feature
- Tap Continue
- On the next screen select the notification options that you want for Person and Other Motion
- You'll see a video camera where you can select or de-select recording and a bell icon to represent alert notifications
- After you've adjusted your settings tap Done.
To access Smart Alerts once you've activated it in the Ring app:
- Go to the menu and tap Devices
- Tap the device you want to adjust
- Tap Motion Settings
- Tap Smart Alerts.
This feature is available for Ring battery-powered and externally powered/hardwired devices.
If it's not clear whether a motion event contains people, due to lighting, weather or other conditions, you may still see a motion alert in your Timeline.
If Person detection is enabled on an externally powered device, you may not be able to adjust the Motion Sensitivity Slider.
