Linked Devices: Set Cameras or Doorbells to record when Contact Sensor is triggered
It would be nice if you could create rules for linked devices. For instance, if you could tell a camera to record when a door sensor changes. This feature would be nice when the alarm is disarmed but even better when armed. That way, if you have a camera pointed at a door which has a door sensor, the camera would record upon the door opening keeping a record of everyone entering your home or business.

I agree with that. It would be nice to be able to monitor who is coming and going through the door.

+1, Also generalize this. We can link devices, like different cameras can be linked with each other. But the sensors can not get linked to cameras. It would be great if each sensor would be treated like a device and we could link them with cameras. so if Sensor X got triggered, then camera Y starts recording. Thanks,

It's great that I can set the cameras to record when the alarm is sounding, or when on entry delay. However, it would be really useful if I could also set the cameras to record whenever the door contact is activated on just being opened. Is this a feature that you can add please? Thanks.

I received my outdoor contact sensor that I ordered for my gate. I'd like to be able to link that sensor so that when the gate/sensor opens, the doorbell camera begins recording. I'm not seeing any way to do that. I think it would be a great feature to have as an option. Anyone have an idea or can @ring get this feature added.

I would like to see a feature for setting your door sensors to trigger camera recording regardless if the system in disarmed or not. I have a very old Roomate who refuses to use the security system. I have a sensor on my bedroom door and a stick-up camera in my room. I would like for the camera to record every time the bedroom door is opened. I have not seen the ability to do this in the app yet.
