Car Cam Event EVERY time I enter the locked vehicle
Every time I unlock my 2020 Explorer ST and get in, it triggers a motion event causing me to dig for my phone and cancel the alert. If I'm fast enough to the cancel, it alerts a second time! It doesn't seem to be sensitivity - but rather the communication from the vehicle to the Ring Car Cam. It might even be set off by the door unlock when the handle is touched because all doors are opened just as you put your hand around the door handle. Adjusting the sensitivity dramatically lower seemed to help (some). But IMO that's defeating its own purpose. I've tried waiting ~ 15 seconds to enter the vehicle, but it still goes off! My settings are default except for Motion Frequency = Frequently, and the Explorer has all options - including the tech package - except rear seat DVD. Does anyone else experience this issue?I'm sure since this Car Cam connects to the vehicle's CAN-BUS, it's watching for some specific data event to change it from parking-mode to drive-mode. Maybe this communication event is delayed because of all the things the car does at door unlock? Or does it just take the same 2+ seconds to wake-up and act on this event - as it does to start recording after an event? Is it detecting the shock of me opening the door during its wake-up? Or is it the slight rocking of the car as I get in? I know it's NOT video motion detection - because it doesn't have it.I think Ring needs to come clean and TELL US exactly how this thing works... from A to Z... AND release an update to fix many of the complaints to date. I still have about 21 days to return both cams I bought. I'm giving them that amount of time to ACT. But I'm not holding my breath... I think they're going to have a LOT of 'renewed' product to move through.
