Use Bird's Eye Zones for More Relevant Motion Alerts

On select Ring devices, you can set up Bird's Eye Zones for more precise motion detection and more relevant Motion Alerts up to 30 feet from your Video Doorbell or Security Camera – so you can get notified about activity in your front yard, not the sidewalk.

Bird's Eye Zones are available with:

• Battery Doorbell Pro
• Wired Doorbell Pro (formerly Video Doorbell Pro 2)
• Floodlight Cam Wired Pro
• Spotlight Cam Pro
• Stick Up Cam Pro

To use Bird’s Eye Zones most effectively:

• Define your own custom Bird's Eye Zones (see steps below).
• Set

  Privacy Zones

  to block out areas in your camera's field of view.
• For cameras only: Tilt the back of your camera at a 45 to 60° angle. When viewed through the camera, the horizon should be level.
• Create

  Camera Motion Zones

  for ground view, making sure they cover the same area as your Bird’s Eye Zones, as motion outside a Camera Motion Zone will always be ignored.
