Turn off camera when home?
motion-settings

Hi! I wonder if there is any way to turn-off a Spotlight camera (running on battery and outdoors)? I'm not talking about temporarilly turning off motion-notifications but rather to save battery by setting a Spotlight camera into a "suspended" mode. This would be great for some of the cameras that are getting a lot of motion when I'm at home. Many thanks!

    Hey @PaddySE. The feature that you're interested in is something that we are slowly rolling out to all our neighbors. You can learn more about this feature, Modes, in our Ring Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes). If you do not have this feature yet, rest assured you will have it soon enough, just make sure to keep your app updated!

      Thanks, I had a look and this sound good. I will try it soon. So the "Disarmed" mode will then not start any recordings or anything else draining the batteries (and not merely stop sending notifications but still record etc) correct? Many thanks!

      @PaddySE Exactly right! It will completely disable your cameras, inside and out if you choose to have all off. The options will let you customize this per camera. I can't wait to have the feature myself, excited to get it in the near future!

      @Chelsea\_Ring so would I be able to customize an indoor camera to always record motion, even when alarm set to home/disarmed, but NOT signal the alarm when it detects motion with the alarm set to away/armed?

The cameras do not alert the alarm in any way. They only record and tell you about motion. Or record when an alarm is triggered.

      Thanks for clarification on that. But can the camera still record motion when the security system is in home mode?
