What it really means…
IFTTT
A simple “If This Then That” web-based service that allows the creation of conditional commands as “applets” to expand functions of several web services, i.e. Gmail, Pintrest, Facebook and others. These are typically reactionary to the actions of these primary web services to automatically respond to actions they initiate.
An IFTTT applet may be used to automatically upload a new picture to your cloud storage when you receive notification from Facebook that a new picture in which you are “tagged” has been uploaded.
Hope this helps.
It seems like a bad design to have a flashing blue light during motion sensor, if an intruder sees this they will immediately know where the camera is and destroy it then carry on with their looting
I need a system that I can control, If the cameras and doorbell can have the ability to turn off the light, then I believe I should be able to do so, and Ring should listen to there customers who want this feature.
It is a deal breaker for me…I am currently looking for an alternative that gives me control of my equipment.
I have too agree. I have a neighbor that’s broken in before he purchased ring so he could figure out what the light means. If the light is on they know your watching. In some cases it’s a good thing because it deters criminal activity. On the other hand they know your not watching or they know where the camera is and can destroy it. Either way it should be the owners of the camera choice.
what’s the inappropriate answer ??
everything can and will be hackable at some point for a hopefully limited time window!
this is not an excuse or a valid argument to demand a simple function that (almost) every competitor offers . . .
you are a very clever one, i wanted to say that if ring does not solve the problem it will not sell indoor anymore, if this than that . . . => deal breaking, full stop!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, neighbors! We are always sharing feedback like this with our teams. Feel free to add this to our feature request board, as well as any other requests you would like to share.
This is not true. The blue light comes on before motion on all 7 of mine. It wakes up our child before movement happens. Y’all need to fix this feature with an on off option.
I have a side job dealing in vinyl creations like decals, tumblers, shirts, etc so I took a small piece of black adhesive vinyl and put it over light and it works like a charm!!!
Same… this light needs to be turned off. The position that I require the camera means that there is a lot of blue light glare on a window pane, rendering it useless at night.
