GeoFencing

Would like to have the ability to only receive doorbell motion alerts (notifications) when I set alarm to away mode

Just another wishing for geofencing. My Arlo cams (software) had this feature and “when it worked”, it was very handy. I eventually moved on from Arlo due to they’re inability to make software that worked correctly. (my biggest “like” about Ring)

Why can’t you add geofencing to the app, most competitors already use it, allowing automatic switch of camera modes home and away or any variation upon you leaving and returning home, tracking the mobile

I was just looking for how to enable this and can’t believe it’s not a part of a smart security system

Totally agree - why do I want notifications when I’m at home? Clearly when my alarm is enabled it suggests I’m not at home, and it would be good to be able to make notification decisions based on these status’ of the alarm (when applicable)

The mode settings is a nice feature, but I would like to be able to just disable the notifications using the mode settings. Right now all it can do is disable motion detection and live view.

Yes! I’d love to be able to change my notification rules using modes, so disarm will have no notifications, home will have notifications during specified hours and away will have notifications all the time, for example

As of now I can disable motion alerts for a specific camera outright, or set up a schedule to not give me alerts during a specified time period. Ideally I would be able to choose if a camera sends me alerts based on the setting of my alarm.

In my specific example, I have a camera in the backyard. I always want it to record, but don’t want to be alerted when I’m home and there is motion. However, if the alarm is armed either “home” or “away” I would like a notification alert to my phone.

Perhaps a new mode - “Night” where other behaviours are wanted. And then be able to schedule which mode should be activated when.

This is precisely what I have come here to suggest! My family has Tado for heating. The Tado app ensures that our heating is only on when we are at home:

  • If a mobile phone belonging to at least one of us is at home then heating is set to on. (This is also thermostatically controlled so heat will be demanded of the boiler only if the temperature is below a preset level.)
  • If no mobile phones belonging to us are at home then heating is set to off.

We have had this system now for about five years and it is excellent. I did look to see whether I could set something similar using IFTTT triggers and actions. Sadly I cannot. Although I can create Triggers which are set by Tado going into Home or into Away mode, it is not possible to create an Action on IFTTT for Ring.

To my mind, smart home integration really does work best if I’m not having to remember to change lots of modes manually!

HI, I noticed some have mentioned this, but I also wanted to add my suggestion in hopes this becomes a priority.

I would love to have an option to add another mode for when we are home awake, vs home and all in bed.

Just the flexibility to add another mode(s) regardless of the specifics as those can be customized once additonal modes are available.

The Alarm Modes, which can be used to modify the behavior of your cameras, does not have any effect on the ‘pushed’ text-type Notifications that you get on your Ring App. Notifications for ‘Motion Alerts’ is currently “always” or “none” regardless of the Alarm Mode.

If you like the idea, besides the current ability to modify the behavior of camera’s “Motion Detection” and “Live View” with the **Alarm Modes, you also want to modify the behavior of “Motion Alerts” (the Notifications) **then you are NOT alone! Here in the Feature Request Board forum is where Ring Team look to see what currently unavailable feature that people might want. And the more “Thumbs Up” Kudo votes the Ring Teams see there will better get their attention, increasing the chances of them providing that request. You should add your Kudo vote, if you like the requesting author’s idea (add your “Thumbs Up” Kudo vote on the left side of the author’s starting post), to help get the attention of the Ring Teams on the links below ( these are similar requests for this feature option, so I’ve probably missed quite a few others):
