  I'm with you. I get frustrated over the lack of automation available. I often Disarm my outdoor camera when I get home from work because I don't want alerts while I let the dog out. I also don't want to simply snooze to then need to go through and delete a dozen videos. So I disarm it. But then I go to bed and forget to arm my camera. Thankfully nothing has happened, but I would love to be able to set an automation that it arms the camera if disarmed at say, 9PM. Maybe I need to get into a habit of it, but I was really hoping for something that could work with IFTTT and arm my camera when it detects I left the area. I understand the security reasons why it shouldn't disarm the camera when I return to the area, but there should be no security reasons why the camera can't automatically arm itself on some schedule.

  Hey neighbors! At this time, there is not a way to adjust notifications based on the Mode that you put your Cameras in. You would need to utilize a [Motion Schedule](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/218380863-Scheduling-Times-When-You-Don-t-Want-to-Receive-Motion-Alerts-) or use the [Motion Snooze](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000047206-How-to-Use-Motion-Snooze-and-Global-Snooze) feature to control the alerts separately from the Modes settings. As we value our neighbors' feedback, we've created a [Feature Request](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/idb-p/Feature_Request_Board) board. Feel free to add this suggestion and any future feature requests there. This will help us to organize and share your requests with our teams here, as well as allow other neighbors to comment and add interest, all in one place. Feel free to link that post you make in the Feature Request board here so other neighbors that come to this thread can easily find your feature! :)

  Caitlyn: The fact that you can't record motion without getting notified unless you are on snooze is TERRIBLE. Before Ring develops other products maybe they should improve the ones they currently sale? This is a basic function of every other camera system that I'm aware of. Jason

  Hi @jasrot. You can manually disable motion alerts on your Doorbell or Camera and it will still record motion without sending you a notification. However, you would need to manually toggle the alerts back on in order to start receiving notifications of motion again. To do so, open the Ring App \> Main Menu \> Devices \> your Camera \> toggle Motion Alerts off. This will disable all motion alerts from your device until you manually toggle it back on.

  Caitlyn: While not ideal its slightly better than my current situation. To be clear can you provide the exact path to turn off alerts, but record all motion? Thanks, Jason

  @jasrot As long as you do not have motion recording toggled off via the [Modes](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes) feature, your Cameras will record as normal even if motion alerts are toggled off. You may also find our Help Center Article on [Motion Frequency](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-Optimizing-Motion-Detection-with-Motion-Frequency) to be useful.
