What is Ring Motion Warning and How Can You Benefit From It?

The features of Ring security cameras, such as doorbells and cameras, are well-known. One feature of Ring smart home devices that helps add an extra layer of security to your home is the motion alert.

In the rest of this article, you’ll learn what Motion Warning is if you should enable it, which Ring devices support it, and how to turn on or off motion warning on your Ring camera.

So let’s look at the Ring Motion Warning feature in more depth.

What is the Ring motion warning?

On specific Ring devices, the Motion Warning feature, which is only accessible in the US, creates a digital recording that alerts visitors that their movement has triggered motion detection and is being recorded. The message is heard over your Ring device’s speaker. Hello, you are currently being recorded, it says.

Only devices that use an AC adaptor to get power can use it. Sadly, Ring cameras that run on batteries don’t support motion alerts either.

Lastly, you can choose to turn on or off motion alerts on each Ring camera separately. You can even turn it on for as many Ring cameras as you want that can send motion alerts.

So Here Are The Main Points:

• When motion is detected, the motion warning tells the visitor that they are being recorded.
• Motion alerts are only available in the US right now.
• This is something that only some Ring cameras have. (Check out the full list below.)
• Ring cameras that run on batteries don’t have motion alerts. An AC adaptor should be used to connect it to the power source.
• To turn on Motion Warning on your Ring camera, you need to update the Ring app.

What Is The Difference Between Motion Detection And Motion Alerts On Ring?

The motion detector on your device will still remain on, and any movement it detects will be noted in Event History. Motion Warnings (Smart Alerts) employ extra video processing, which may cause alerts to be delayed. You can select to receive notifications for Person, Other Motion, and Package using Smart Alerts.

Which Ring Devices Have The Motion Warning Feature?

Right now, not every Ring camera has a motion alert. Only some Ring cameras let you turn it on.

Here is a full list of all the Ring devices that have the motion alert feature.

• Elite Stick-Up Cam
• Stick Up Cam Plug-In (3rd Gen) – Works with an AC adaptor
• Wired Indoor Cam Light Cam
• Mount for a spotlight cam

Should you set up motion alerts on your Ring cameras?

Now comes an interesting question: should you use a motion warning or turn it off?

I think it’s cool that the motion alert lets people know they are being recorded. It will help keep thieves from breaking into your house.

Look at an example of how a camera’s motion alert was used to stop a stranger from looking at packages.

From the video, you can see that when a person walks in front of the Ring camera, it says their name out loud. Hello, you are being recorded right now.

This feature will be very helpful if you aren’t at home and want to know that everything is okay.

Motion Warning Problems

Even though the motion alert is a great feature, it also has some problems.

For instance, Ring should have made it possible to set up motion alerts. When the camera sees a person in front of it, it says “Hello, you are being recorded.” This can be really annoying during the day, especially if you have a lot of people over often.

If there had been a way to schedule the motion alarm, we could have set it to go off only at night, from 10 PM to 6 AM.

In a future update, we can expect Ring to give us the option to schedule motion alerts.
