Motion Detector Question
I'm am really close to purchasing a Ring Alarm system but need some clarification on the motion detector dwell time. My home has a fairly open floor plan and A LOT of windows. It's more effective to cover this open area with a motion detector rather than putting sensors on each and every window. My concern is what I'm reading about a "3 minute" dwell time of no motion in order to arm the system. In the process of exiting the house motion would absolutly be seen. Do you really need to wait 3 minutes before being able to arm the system for away after seeing motion? If so, this is probably a deal breaker. Please tell me this isn't so, I don't want to have to go back to a big box alarm company.

Bumping and following up. Surely someone has the answer. I'm concerned about this review on amazon....._Even if your alarm is not set the motion detector is working tracking motions. It will only track motion once and waits 3 minutes and resets itself to start monitoring again. I have these in my family room and kitchen to protect big open areas. WELL ..... If you walk past a motion sensor within 3 minutes of leaving your house your alarm will not set because of active motion... You have to use the phone app and wait the full 3 minutes after you leave to set it. It's not horrible just cant believe a company like AMAZON wouldnt have this fixed._Can anyone with the system confirm? I just want to be able to arm my system on the way out of the house....
