Too many notifications for a positive detection
security-camera-mount

Wonder if anyone in the community can assist? I have a ring spotlight cam (hard wired) and a ring doorbell 2; both work perfectly and have motion zones configured. They pick up motion correctly and alert me as required. However, I'm constantly getting bombarded with notifications for a single detection. That is, someone walks down in front of the cam or the doorbell and I'll get 6 or 7 notifications pings on the phone. Is there a setting that sends just the one notification for the period that the motion is being recorded? So, person walks into the zone and I'm notified (once) and then I get no more notifications while the cam records that activity (it's about 30 seconds of recording). I really don't need to mass bombardment of notifications when someone is standing at the door, I've already got one and if they ring the doorbell I've got a ring alert too. Seems crazy that I get an alert for each slight motion when the device is already in record mode for the event. If you want to understand how frustrating this is, I washed my car and during that I received nearly 200 notifications over a 10 minute period. I accept I can switch off notifications in this situation which is fine but actually if it had sent just one for each recorded section, I would have received just 20. Anyone got any suggestions?
