How to set up your customizable Camera Motion Zones
Camera Motion Zones let you focus on specific areas that you want your Ring device to cover, and ignore high traffic areas you don't want to monitor. By customizing these zones, you can reduce the number of false motion alerts, such as cars driving by or trees moving in the distance. Learn how to use Camera Motion Zones.
How to use adjustable motion zones on some battery-powered devices
If you choose not to turn on Advanced Motion Detection for your battery-powered device, you can configure adjustable motion zones in the Ring app. This feature uses passive infrared (PIR) sensors to detect motion, by identifying visitors based on a change in temperature.
With adjustable motion zones, each zone covers about a third of the total field of view.
