A:AnswerHello Smrd,
If your power goes out or your home wifi network goes down, depending on how long your Ring Video Doorbell Wired has been disconnected from the network, your doorbell should reconnect on its own without you having to manually reset it each time.
In certain cases, if the power goes out and is restored immediately, this can cause a reset, making the doorbell to enter setup mode.

A:AnswerHello Al,
Yes, the motion sensors in the Ring Video Doorbell are designed to detect motion up to 155 degrees horizontally and from five to 25 feet outward from the fixture.
Customizable motion zones are featured in all of Ring's AC-powered products, 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 greatly increase the effectiveness of your Ring device.
