They tend to activate on a 180 degree in front of the camera (more than the camera image can see). In terms of distance away I would say it depends on how angeled up or down the camera is but several (10 or 15 feet) away. Be sure to consider the flood cam also for over a garage. It has much brighter light.

Customizable Motion Zones are featured in all of Ring’s AC-powered products, such as the Spotlight Camera Wired, which allow for a fuller feature set and greater degree of customization. This system’s customization options let you draw up to three areas in the camera’s view to detect motion in. These motion zones allow you to define a specific area that you want your Ring to cover, while ignoring everything outside that area. By drawing your motion zones to exclude high-frequency areas such as public paths and roads, you can reduce the number of false positive motion notifications, such as cars driving by, and increase the effectiveness of your Ring device. Here is a helpful article that explains the Spotlight Camera Wired’s motion detection software: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042728431-Advanced-Motion-Detection-in-Ring-Devices. Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users, like yourself, have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to issues experienced: https://community.ring.com/. Thank you, Jamila with Ring.
