Q
Motion detect doesnt work
battery-video-doorbell

For over a week now my Ring 3 battery doorbell is almost never detecting motion. I have the people only mode turned on and still nothing. Doorbell and live view work but no motion sense. Thankfully I have dogs to tell me when packages arrive (and people or dogs dare to use the public road, or that there's a bunny in the yard) otherwise I'd be subject to porch pirates who would go undetected thanks to Rings failure. I've confirmed wifi is connected and all settings are accurate. ![Screenshot_20210519-122535_Ring|243x500](upload://t9rbQY0jndDOeEZhNSLOvionUzW.jpeg)

        Hi @QueSeraSara. Thanks for sharing that picture. It looks like there may be a step or two leading up to your door. With this in mind, I suggest angling the Doorbell down using a Wedge Kit. This will put the prime Motion Detection zone pointing to where it works best. You can find a Wedge Kit for your Doorbell [here](https://ring.com/collections/accessories?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=1739003666&utm_term=ring%20accessories&utm_content=97060150963&gclid=Cj0KCQjwna2FBhDPARIsACAEc_WQv5sZ2keZXPQQk-XJ4uxtmDzgRSRkgKKBU5WGcd3DKXeb8OSM8mgaAsztEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwna2FBhDPARIsACAEc_WQv5sZ2keZXPQQk-XJ4uxtmDzgRSRkgKKBU5WGcd3DKXeb8OSM8mgaAsztEALw_wcB&filters=category:video-doorbell-wired,category:video-doorbell-pro,category:video-doorbell-pro-2,category:video-doorbell-elite,category:video-doorbell,category:video-doorbell-2,category:video-doorbell-3,category:video-doorbell-3-plus,category:video-doorbell-4,category:peephole-cam,type:installation-mounts). I hope this helps.
