Hi @TheWeeman, thank you for joining the Community and sharing your feedback about recording times, it is always appreciated! You may notice I moved this post over to the Video Doorbell board as this would be a better spot to get the best insights regarding Doorbells specifically. As it seems this posts main focus is more about the Doorbell functionality.
I wanted to share this Ring Help article link with you as it helps explain how motion works for the Video Doorbell 2 in more detail. Since the Video Doorbell 2 is a battery operated device versus hardwired like the Floodlight, it will be a bit different as battery life must be taken into account along with functionality.
Also, our support team is available 24/7 and would be happy to help you optimize your motion settings, they can be reached at 1-(800)-656-1918.
