People only mode for wired stick up cam
It seems like the only thing people only mode does on the wired stick up cams is set the motion sensitivity setting to a reduced level that can't be changed. On my battery powered stick up cam, I get a notification that says “person detected” when a person walks by in people only mode. However, on my wired stick up cam in people only mode, I just seem to get the usual “motion detected” notifications, whether or not there is a person. It seems like people only mode should actually look for people on the wired stick up cam, but all it seems to do is fix the motion sensitivity to a lower setting. Does anyone else have the same experience?

Hi @Caitlyn_Ring . Thanks for the reply. I understand from the help center article that this is how People Only Mode is *supposed* to work for hardwired cameras, but I don't think that is how it is *actually* working. For my hardwired stick up camera, when in People Only Mode, I've *never* gotten

TThis feature is still not working properly on plugged-in stick up cams. When will Ring fix it? It's been months.

Hi @mconomos. The People Only Mode feature will behave a little differently depending on how your device is powered. If you toggle the People Only Mode on with a hardwired device, your device will only record and alert you to human being related events. For battery powered devices, your device will record all events, but usually only send you a notification when a human-being is detected. You can read more in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032947972-Refining-Your-Alert-Notifications-with-People-Only-Mode). I hope that helps! :)
