Motion Warning Information

The Motion Warning feature is a digital recording that notifies visitors that they have triggered motion detection and are being recorded.

The recording plays through the speaker on your Ring device. It says: Hi, you are currently being recorded. You cannot adjust the volume of this recording.

Motion Warning is available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Isle of Man, Jersey, Ireland, Malta and Gibraltar with the following devices:

• Stick Up Cam Elite
• Stick Up Cam Plug-In (3rd Gen)*
• Indoor Cam (1st and 2nd Gen)

• Spotlight Cam Mount

You can find out which Ring device you have in the Ring app.

The Motion Warning feature is not available on battery-powered Video Doorbells, like Video Doorbell 4 and Battery Doorbell Plus, even if the devices are connected to external power. If you have an eligible device but don't see the feature, make sure you have the most current version of the Ring app.
