Ok thanks @Tom_Ring, I’ll have to do this. But is it correct that it still records motion even though it’s not in the programmed advanced zone? I get a notification “someone at door” only if someone comes in my programmed zone, but get lots of recordings without notifications anywhere else - is this correct? Thanks

Hi @L1111. You should only be getting notifications from recordings that are started by someone entering your Motion Zones. If you notice that you are getting recordings from events outside of your Motion Zones, it may be best to adjust them. For instance, instead of having one large zone, try creating 3 smaller zones to cover the same area. This will help your Doorbell to be more accurate. Cheers!

Hi thanks for reply. As long as I understand this is what is supposed to happen that’s fine ie I only get notifications if in my programmed motion zone. But is all other motion recorded regardless? Is there no option to not record this, as at the moment I’m getting nearly 100 events of motion (not notifications as outside my programmed zone) per day and it’s depleting my battery very very quickly. Thanks

Hi @L1111. The only motion that is recorded will be motion that is detected in your Motion Zones If you're getting that many notifications, they may need to be adjusted. The Community post [here](https://community.ring.com/t/feature-update-customizable-motion-zones-for-battery-devices/13965) has some great tips and tricks for doing this!

Ok so I’ve programmed more “advanced motion zones” but I’m still getting numerous motion recordings (but not notifications) when people are walking past, that are not in the programmed zone. Is this correct? Again this battery has only lasted 28 days as it picks up and record people walking past (and sometimes cars/trucks). It shouldn’t record motion event if outside my “advanced motion zones” - correct? If so then my DB3+ is broke... It’s not doing as I thought it was advertised to do, as in only record motion events where I programme it to. I’ve been on to support chat (is there no email?), went through al settings that were as should be, and recommended me to toggle off, then on, people mode, but hasn’t helped. Edit Still getting them, the motion is started way outside the zones from the left or right as people are about to walk past, so the Doorbell must be seeing them and triggering to record, but as said they are no where near the programmed motion zone. Again didn’t get notifications just recordings. Is it not that this is supposed to happen? As in it records in any view of camera but doesn’t notify unless in the programmed zone? If so this isn’t how it’s explained in literature to. If not then there is obviously something inherently wrong with my Doorbell 3+

Hi @MrsBaker. The [Motion Schedule](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/218380863-Scheduling-Times-When-You-Don-t-Want-to-Receive-Motion-Alerts-) prevents you from receiving motion notifications during the selected schedule and swapping the [Mode](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes) that your Camera is in will not change the Motion Schedule. This means that notifications will not be sent unless the Motion Schedule is changed. I hope that helps answer your questions! :)
