Peephole Cam Not Capturing
So I have a peephole cam that faces the stairs leading up to my porch. I thought it was going to be perfect. It doesn't any of what I want. It has never captured the mail or packages being delivered. but if I leave the door open, it captures all my movements around the living room. Is there a setting I need to change? I was going to switch my security system to Ring as I am having issues with my current one, but this peephole cam is a real issue for me. Right now it's pretty useless for what I wanted it for.

Here's a screenshot of my live view. Motion detection set to most sensitive, slide bar all the way to the right.

C@BmoreSafe Thank you for that screenshot! It seems like you had an ideal setup, especially with how your motion sensitivity is. What is your Motion Frequency set to? If it's on Standard, please switch it to Frequent and monitor this for me to see if this helps for future. You can learn more about Motion Frequency and why I recommend this change in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-Optimizing-Motion-Detection-with-Motion-Frequency).

BMotion frequency is set to frequent. When I go through the motion wizard, when it gets to "adjust motion zones" it always has the motion sensitivity set in the center, no nmatter how many times I change it to the highest sensitivity. But the motion detection setting itself is set to the highest sensitivity like I had it. That's the only disconnect I can really find. I'm considering changing over my security system to Ring for reasons I won't get in to, but this is a definite set back if it can't even detect something right in front of it.

BWhile I have no been able to make contact with a memeber of RIng's supportteam, I do know _what_ the problem is, just not _why_ it's a problem. The problem is the screen door. It will not record/capture through it. Yes, it is set that I have a screen door. When I open the screen door and walk around the porch, I get notifications. Close the screen door, nothing. I'll keep messing with the settings for now. Very frustrating.

Hey @BmoreSafe. What does your Live View look like? What do you have your Motion Settings/Zones set to? I have a Peephole Cam that is upstairs as well, so I'm happy to help here! :)
