  I wish the alarm could be set to automatically activate and de activate when I leave or come home. Same for cameras

  Yes this is essential now, companies like Arlo have had this feature for a long time.

  Could you please consider the Auto-Switching of Modes using the phones gps location so you can automatically switch from Home to Away mode once the last person in the household has left the property. It could then switch back to Home mode when the first person returns. This should easily be possible as it's something which exists for other security products from other manufacturers. Thanks.

  Though the new 'Mode' feature is very welcome (if overdue), it would be much better if there was an option to choose whether you want notifications on a camera by camera basis within its individual settings. If I set it to 'Home' mode, the mains powered cameras record (fine) but still send notofications to my phone, which is not necessary if I am in. If I set a Motion Schedule to stop this, they don't sound when I set it to 'Away', which means no notifications. It also means 2 lots of resetting when I go out. If there was a setting to allow 'Home' to record and have no notifications that wouldn't happen. The 'Away' setting could then do likewise and be set to allow notifications. That way there is only a need to set 'Home' or 'Away' and the noticifations behave accordingly with one easy to change setting rather than trawling through the menu to turn the Motion Schedule off each time.

  If I set my camera modes to “disabled” when at home, there is a high probability that I won’t remember to arm them each time I leave the house, therefore my house will likely be unprotected when I’m away. I also use a rival company camera indoors, they are not as good as Ring, but the camera uses the location info on my smartphone to automatically arm the camera whenever I leave the house, which is essential as I have never once thought about it when I go out. Modes are a great progression? But in my humble opinion are fairly useless without an auto-arm feature when the house is vacated.

  I know this has been discussed and requested in great length by many Ring customers, but they need geofencing for all of their products, especially the indoor cameras. It's not feacible to expect users to manually change "modes" every time they leave or enter their homes. Nest and many other products use this feature and I don't understand why it's taken so long for Ring to adapt. We love our indoor cameras for their quality and ease of use, but the constant notifications, even with settings adjusted, are too much. With so many products using behind the scenes features, it is an unreal expectation to have to manually change the mode of our indoor cameras, given how many other devices and products we currently use. Please help Ring!

  Agreed! Geofencing is a must, especially with the new modes feature...

  I completely agree I would like to be able to customize the notifications based on the mode. I want to be able to quickly switch between modes. I never want the recordings to stop but I would like to quickly switch modes to turn off my notifications when I'm in disarmed mode and working around the house.

  Why did Ring make the option of having "modes" without having the option of tailoring the notifications to specific modes? I turned the "modes" on today for the first time, only to find out if offers nothing I need with respect to getting too many notifications on my phone while I'm at home. I want the camera to record, just don't want a notification sent when it senses movement. So I disabled the feature as I want the cameras to record movement all the time, but the alert fatigue is real and I hope Ring adds the ability to control notifications, based on mode, soon.

  Mode options for cameras should have option to keep motion detection ON, but turn motion "alerts" off when in a particular mode, such as Disarmed. Currently, you cannot toggle notifications on or off depending on which security mode you are in.

  The Alarm Modes, which can be used to modify the behavior of your cameras, does not have any effect on the 'pushed' text-type Notifications that you get on your Ring App. Notifications for 'Motion Alerts' is currently "always" or "none" regardless of the Alarm Mode. If you like the idea, besides the current ability to modify the behavior of camera's "Motion Detection" and "Live View" with the **Alarm Modes, you also want to modify the behavior of "Motion Alerts" (the Notifications) **then you are NOT alone! Here in the **Feature Request Board** forum is where Ring Team look to see what currently unavailable feature that people might want. And the more "Thumbs Up" Kudo votes the Ring Teams see there will better get their attention, increasing the chances of them providing that request. You should add your Kudo vote, if you like the requesting author's idea (add your "Thumbs Up" Kudo vote on the left side of the author's starting post), to help get the attention of the Ring Teams on the links below ( **these are similar requests** for this feature option, so I've probably missed quite a few others): Submitted by [LexNesta](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/92871) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/mode-settings/idi-p/59554](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/mode-settings/idi-p/59554) Submitted by [SashaW](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/50592) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Motion-Alert-Toggle-under-Modes/idi-p/31956](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Motion-Alert-Toggle-under-Modes/idi-p/31956) Submitted by [ring\_user\_sc](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/70916) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Phone-Notification-Options-In-Modes/idi-p/43119](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Phone-Notification-Options-In-Modes/idi-p/43119) Submitted by [AGingerScot](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/61411) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-camera-notifications-linked-to-alarm-mode/i...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-camera-notifications-linked-to-alarm-mode/idi-p/36960) Submitted by [JasonKrul](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/83177) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Receive-motion-notifications-only-on-away-mode/i...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Receive-motion-notifications-only-on-away-mode/idi-p/52336) Submitted by [Terrafirma2021](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/59242) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Feature-request-Ability-to-record-but-disable-no...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Feature-request-Ability-to-record-but-disable-notification-in/idi-p/35790) Submitted by [jcappy401](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/93978) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Mode-Settings-should-have-the-option-to-en...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Mode-Settings-should-have-the-option-to-enable-disable/idi-p/60523) Submitted by [Swordfish](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/35309) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Disable-Alerts-Mode/idi-p/42334](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Disable-Alerts-Mode/idi-p/42334) Submitted by [Michael\_Kay](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/39481) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/New-Modes/idi-p/23459](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/New-Modes/idi-p/23459) Unite our efforts and voices.
