Ring Video Doorbell
Fairly major bug/flaw: motion detection almost never catches a 300lb bear!
I think I’ve come across a pretty wild (and potentially urgent) flaw or bug. It seems like anything that’s all black doesn’t trigger the motion alerts on the cameras, nor do they record. There are a few 300-350lb black bears that we have around, and a few times a week they will be walking right outside our house in full view of the cameras, and they aren’t recorded. Just today one walked within 2’ of one of my Ring Doorbells and I only happened to catch it on a snapshot (I have it set to take one every 30 seconds). With this info, someone who doesn’t want to be detected just needs to wear all black and not have any reflective surfaces, and they can do whatever they want undetected in regards to Ring cameras. There has got to be some kind of urgent firmware patch to plug the hole on this security issue.
