We have multiple Ring devices at our home, including doorbells and Spotlight Cams. I’ve set up the Spotlight Cams to announce to individuals they’re being recorded, however, as a Home Security Device, I don’t want the announcement to welcome the individual, especially if they’re a criminal (it starts by saying “Hello”).

My suggestion is to change the announcement for motion detection to something like this: “This home is under Ring Video Surveillance and you are currently being recorded”.

It’s matter of fact, lets people know the entire home is covered (whether it is or isn’t, people don’t have to know). Again, for me, a security company should make homeowners feel safe, not thieves are welcomed…
