Ring Security Cameras
Floodlights too sensitive - had to be switched off entirely
After a really stressful period of being harassed and stalked for months, I invested in a Ring Doorbell which works well (albeit it would be helpful to get a notification when it loses internet connection but that's another matter ...). I then saved money to buy two Ring Floodlight wired security cameras which were installed this weekend. I went with Ring as I already had the doorbell and they are considered a trusted brand. I am sooooo disappointed. I have had to switch the floodlights off on both cameras as they are far too sensitive even when set to the lowest sensitivity setting and smallest detection area. The lights on the driveway camera trigger with every car passing (despite the road being outside of my set motion zone) and when flying insects are detected. The garden camera triggers constantly due to flying insects also. This sensitivity has rendered the floodlights useless and I have had to switch them both off. This is totally pointless as the cameras were expensive especially once you consider the cost of fitting also. I live alone and I do not have the peace of mind I was hoping to have from the cameras as I am unable to use the floodlights at all. The camera position can not be changed as they are both already set as far facing downwards as is possible. I'd appreciate any advice please. I really wish I'd done my research as I would have selected a different brand if I knew I could not use one of the main features of the floodlight cameras. What a really costly mistake. I read threads on this forum suggesting that an update in October 2021 totally ruined the floodlight behaviour. Is there an update on this please?
