I installed a hard wire floodlight with Camera for my back deck. For some reason, my light will come on during the knight or even early evening all by itself. I would think if the motion is detecting movement, my chime would activate. The flood comes on null

It is either picking up your chime or the noise. My hummingbird feeder swaying sets mine off sometimes.

Check the device settings …all functions are separate so you can tell it when to turn on/off and manage alerts

Hello DJ,

The floodlights on your Floodlight Cam are operated by passive infrared heat detection and have a radius of 270 degrees. The camera unit on your Floodlight Cam notifies you of movement within the camera’s field of view and has a range of 140 degrees. As a result, there will be times where something outside the range of the camera activates the lights.

Every aspect of your Floodlight Cam’s operation can be controlled through your Ring App. This article will detail your Floodlight Cam’s functions as well as how to find and control it in the Ring App: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001716843-Controlling-Your-Floodlight-Cam-Through-the-Ring-App.
