How to setup motion detection schedule?
battery-video-doorbell

I want to setup a motion detection schedule, not a schedule to mute notifications, to actually enable or disable motion detection. Reason being at the moment for unknown reasons it’s detecting motion outside of my programmed motion zones, I’m taking no where near the motion detection zone. Thanks

    Hi @L1111. The [Motion Schedule](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-ring-app-motion-schedules/756) does not disable motion detection. If you want to disable motion detection, try using [Modes](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes) for your cameras. This will completely disable motion for the selected camera. I hope this information helps!

      Ok thanks @Tom_Ring, I’ll have to do this. But is it correct that it still records motion even though it’s not in the programmed advanced zone? I get a notification “someone at door” only if someone comes in my programmed zone, but get lots of recordings without notifications anywhere else - is thi

      Hi @L1111. You should only be getting notifications from recordings that are started by someone entering your Motion Zones. If you notice that you are getting recordings from events outside of your Motion Zones, it may be best to adjust them. For instance, instead of having one large zone, try creat

      Hi thanks for reply. As long as I understand this is what is supposed to happen that’s fine ie I only get notifications if in my programmed motion zone. But is all other motion recorded regardless? Is there no option to not record this, as at the moment I’m getting nearly 100 events of motion (n

      Hi @L1111. The only motion that is recorded will be motion that is detected in your Motion Zones If you're getting that many notifications, they may need to be adjusted.

      Ok so I’ve programmed more “advanced motion zones” but I’m still getting numerous motion recordings (but not notifications) when people are walking past, that are not in the programmed zone. Is this correct? Again this battery has only lasted 28 days as it picks up and record people walking past (

    if I modify and/or create a motion schedule, does this apply to all shared users and other devices I have the ring app installed on? Trying to understand and verify that if I set up a motion schedule to not notify me of motion events during the day at certain hours, then will that schedule also be the same for all my other shared users like my spouse and kids or will they still get the motion alerts? I just don't want to get alerts during my working hours while my spouse and kids still want to receive alerts since they are around and available. Just want to make sure by putting together a motion schedule for myself through the ring app, even though I am the admin and master account holder, it would set up the same motion schedule for my other shared users. Thanks.

      If I have motion schedules set to stop notifications, but then pop outland want to set the away mode, will this override the motion schedule or do I have to turn off the motion schedule and then set the away mode?

        Hi @MrsBaker. The [Motion Schedule](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/218380863-Scheduling-Times-When-You-Don-t-Want-to-Receive-Motion-Alerts-) prevents you from receiving motion notifications during the selected schedule and swapping the [Mode](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/36
