Just installed a new Ring System - Doorbell, wired Cams, Sensors, etc. Covers our entire house. Love it so far.
However…
There is a SERIOUS flaw in the system as far as protection that I feel needs to be addressed ASAP.
The Flaw:
It seems that the Ring sensors go into a ‘wait’ mode of about 3 minutes (after sensing motion) before they re-arm. Not sure why.
The Exploit:
Ring gives you a false sense of security when you arm the system (in either ‘Home’ or ‘Away’ mode). It gives you the green checkmark saying all sensors are armed, which would make me confidently leave my house, etc. - thinking I’m protected.
However…
The 3 (or so) minute sensor delay is still in effect - meaning that the motion sensors will NOT pick up anything or ACTIVATE THE ALARM during that time period.
Yikes!!!
That means that it would be possible for someone to break into a motion-sensor protected area, steal a bunch of stuff, kill my pet, a person(!) etc. and make a clean get away.
3 minutes may not seem like a long time - until your life is in danger - then it is an eternity.
I realize this would be an outlier scenario. But it should be an no-brainer one for a device that is supposed to protect you 24/7.
PLEASE address this!
