A:AnswerHi Bub,
Good question! Yes, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 has motion detection. The Ring Video Doorbell 3 has a field of view of 160 degrees horizontal. Within the app, you can control where motion is detected through Motion Zones. They allow you to define a specific area that you want your Ring device to cover while ignoring everything outside that area. By selecting Motion Zones to cover only the areas you want the Ring device to monitor, you can effectively monitor the area you want as well as reduce the number of "false positive" motion alerts (such as cars driving by).

A:AnswerHello bestone4u,
Great question! Yes, even if it is hardwired, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 needs the included battery to function. Unlike a purely hardwired Ring doorbell such as the Ring Doorbell Pro, a battery-operated doorbell does not use the electricity generated by the hardwire to power its regular operations. Instead, it uses the provided rechargeable battery to do all of its regular operations like ringing, detecting motion, and generating a Live View. The charge from the hardwiring supplies a trickle charge to the battery.

A:AnswerHello,
Great question! No, the Ring Video Doorbell 3 does not come with a Wedge Kit included. The packaging includes the following:
the Ring Video Doorbell 3,
a rechargeable quick-release battery pack,
a satin nickel faceplate,
installation hardware and tools,
a USB charging cable,
a mounting bracket,
a user manual and quick-start guide,
and a Ring security sticker.
If you're installing a Ring Video Doorbell 3 on a house with aluminum siding or in a house where the door is atop a set of stairs, you can use a wedge piece to properly position a Ring Video Doorbell 3 to catch visitor motion but minimize "false positive" motion alerts, such as cars in the street.

A:AnswerHi Jamaica.
Good question! Yes, you can use the Ring Video Doorbell 3 without a monthly payment. A Ring Protect Plan is an optional subscription that gives you access to paid features for Ring devices such as doorbells, cameras, and alarms. With a Ring Protect plan, you can save, review, and share video recordings from your Ring devices to your Ring account. Without a Ring Protect Plan, you can still view real-time video for Ring doorbells and cameras and answer doorbell notifications when they happen, but you don’t get video recordings of those events. Visit our support center for more information: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001671383-General-Information-on-Ring-Protect-Subscription-Plans.
