Ring Video Doorbell
Flying insects and spiders setting off motion at night
I have a Ring Smart Video Doorbell Pro with Built-in Wi-Fi & Camera . The motion detection works well during the day. However Spiders and flying insect trigger the Motion detection during the night. Is there a setting to avoid it?

My issue is insects are setting of PEOPLE alerts, let alone motion alerts. My Nest cameras NEVER had issues. I am getting PEOPLE alerts every night from every camera. Ring this is very bad!

So here is the deal. Ring should not use the word security with any of their products. They are lackluster, at best. Further, security is decreased with false alerts. This is fact. Any security professional knows this. You want products that are accurate and do not yield false alerts because it impacts human perception and then real alerts are overlooked. Again, Security 101. So Ring is in a sense DECREASING ones safety and security by not resolving this issue.

I have set all my cameras to People detection only aka smart alerts and past three months I have gotten hundreds of false notifications, squirrels and chipmunks seem to set off regularly, and they are nothing like a person. In addition shadows, leaves, spiders, insects, etc, set off PEOPLE alerts. My security has officially decreased and hit an all time low due to all of these false alerts. Pretty scary. Google Nest cameras never had false alerts, I had them in the same spots, for 6+ years.

Hey @Gallina. I've seen some neighbors put bug spray/repellent around the Doorbell it help out with this concern. You can turn down your sensitivity to help see if this will reduce the times the bugs are picked up, but you can give that suggestion a try to see if that helps too! :)
