Ring Security Cameras
Any Way To Disable Cam When Home And Armed?
I'm new to the Ring System. I have a wired stick up cam in my living room primarily to observe when maintenance workers come in when I'm away. I really don't want it chiming and recording video every time I walk through the room when I'm home for the evening. Is there any way to disable it when I select "Home and Armed" from the keypad?

Please could you update your support teams on this upcoming feature. I called twice this morning and spoke to two people about generic ring and one specialist about security.... To all I asked how I arm / disarm the cameras in one step - they all said no mass option. I asked if they would work with the security keypad / alarm system, to be told no, these are two independent systems that just share the app. Lastly, I asked about modes as I had seem this from some searching and an article on Ring for Business... again no clue. My conclusion was to pack the cameras up and put them in the bin, reverting to my Synology based solution. Good to hear that there is indeed a solution soon to arrive.

C@Marley\_Ring - can you try to get someone to answer the frustrated thread around modes please... Promised in November - now just deathly silence...

JHi, I checked out the settings for all 3 modes. It lists all sensors and motion detectors but does not show the Cams so I cannot customize the behaviour of Cams in each mode. This is very important feature. I am using the latest update as of now.

Is there a way to only have camera recording when in Away or Home armed modes? I don’t want it to record when we’re disarmed and at home. It’s just picking us up wandering about...!

This is crazy ass stuff. I have one camera -- the door bell camera. A mode to turn it off when someone is working in front of the house should be basic. How was something so basic overlooked and so hard to add to existing systems?

Hi neighbors. You can utilize the Modes feature to control all of your Ring devices, including your Ring Cameras. With the Modes feature, you can choose whether or not your Ring Cameras and Doorbells detect motion and record based on which Mode you have set your system in. You cannot have the Cameras and Doorbells in a separate Mode from the Ring Alarm system. For more information on what you can do with the Modes feature, check out [this](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-of-Your-Ring-Devices-with-Modes) Help Center article.

I’d also like to see a feature to disable inside cameras when the conditions: 1) NOT armed and away; or, 2) Home and armed are met. I will be holding off on camera purchases until this feature can be implemented. It could be a simple check box for both conditions. Thanks!
