Motion Recording vs Motion Alerts

motion-settings

Just installed a new Pro 2, all went well and working my way through settings. I keep going in circles with one setting though, and I wonder if there is a solution. I live in a townhome, with my front door fairly near to the public sidewalk. I don't want a motion notification every time someone walks by, only when they come to my door. However, for security reasons I would like to save video when there is motion on the public sidewalk. I do have the Protect Plan with video storage. I am able to customize my zone and totally ignore the public sidewalk, however I don't want to do that if I don't have to.

Hi @DBS606. Depending on the distance from your Ring Pro 2 to the sidewalk, you may be able to configure your[ Motion Zones](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021842611-Utilizing-Motion-Zones-With-Your-Powered-Ring-Devices). However, if they are very close, you may not be able to accomplish this. If there are steps leading up to your door, a [Wedge Kit](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-pro-2-wedge-kit) might help.
