Flying insects setting off motion at night
We have a Ring Video Doorbell Pro, and also a Ring Floodlight Cam, and are having the same problem with each unit. At night we have large moths that are attracted to the motion light, which is the circle that lights up. That obviously only lights up when there is motion, but none the less it is a problem. I have motion sensitivity set to the lowest setting but it is still setting off. I set preferences on my phone under Motion Preferences for People Only Mode and that eliminates the false motions detections caused by flying moths, but if a vehicle pulls up it does not detect it.Is there any way to turn off the circular lights on the front of the unit that come one when there is motion, as in disable them? Not the floodlight on the Floodlight Cam, but the light that comes on to indicate there is motion.

With or without the light, this is an issue with periodic cicadas. There are so many cicadas, all the time, and they are constantly setting off the motion sensor on the door that all we can do is disable it. I'm used to the occassional squirrel or deer that sets it off, but the cicadas are constant and for those that don't live with periodic cicadas, the number of them is massive. Why isn't this addressed?

I’m having the same problem with my Ring video doorbell camera and spotlight cameras. All night long. They are wired, so no battery, but is it possible to turn the night vision off? Why isn’t Ring addressing this problem?

They will never fix it and here is why...they don't care. 16 people have voiced there concerns, not enough to care. I would be surprised if they even looked at this forum. The only way they will do something is when they have to, when it becomes a liability on them. We have had robberies in our area. My dogs lose their minds everytime the ring doorbell sound goes off. Because of this I have to turn it off at night when I go to bed; it is annoying enough when I'm awake. If someone came into my house, I would not know it. Maybe my dogs would do something? I don't know, they are dumb as hell. Someone is going to have to get hurt before ring will do anything. Just my opinion. Overpriced junk.
