I agree 100%. Having a motion sensor go ‘dead’ after detecting motion is just plain dumb. The only thing I can think of is they do this to preserve battery life. I also agree that this should be an option that can be changed by the user.
Can anyone at Ring give us a clear explanation of the logic behind making motion sensors go dead for 3-4 minutes after detecting motion? And why can’t you just update the software/firmware to make it a user setting?
Example setting I’d love to see:
After inital motion detection, pause addtional motion detection for:
a) 0 seconds
b) 30 seconds
c) 1 minute
d) 2 minutes
e) 3 minutes
Note: Setting a lower pause time may impact battery life.
