    Works nice - we use it to monitor our dogs. It works well with our other Ring devices.

    Use this mostly now for a puppy cam and it’s nice to see what my furry friend is up too while I’m away. Sometimes disconnects from the home unit but will usually reconnect without issue.

    Already had Ring at home I bought this for a second location 200 miles away from my home. Took minuets to set up and now I can easily watch two locations from my iPhone app.

    Cheapest camera in the Ring lineup, small in size but packs a huge amount of features you would expect from a security cam. 1080p, two way talk, siren and can be counted either on a flat top or wall mount. Ring interface is good with new features.

    Record and store is paid subscription only. I use the cam to check in on the dogs and to double check that the house is secure when my security alarm goes off. Sometimes a good bark from my dog will trigger an alarm and this is perfect to double check.

    A bit to sensitive for me. I left it on and it literally picked up the tv screen savers while it's sleep. I kept getting alerts thinking someone was in my room.

      Hi Browngirl.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Indoor Cam (1st Gen.) detect motion and alert you according to your needs. The features and technology provided by the Ring Indoor Cam (1st Gen.) are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely assist you with this today, and we are confident we can find the correct settings for your home’s environment.

      It sounds like you have some concerns with the motion detection of your device. This camera uses adjustable motion detection and runs on passive infrared sensors. The system identifies visitors via a moving heat signature and sends a notification to your smart device when one is detected. You can adjust three preset motion zones and their distances under the "Motion Settings" tab on the device's page in the Ring app. Additionally, you can choose how often the camera checks for movement in those predefined zones via the "Motion Frequency" setting. If you find that your camera is picking up too much motion, we recommend lowering the "Motion Sensitivity" under the "Motion Settings" tab. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This also includes changing the "Motion Frequency" to "Regularly" or "Periodically" in the Ring app.

      Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling the "Smart Alerts" feature for people only in your Ring app. To enable "Smart Alerts", please follow these steps:
      Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
      Tap "Devices."
      Tap the device that you want to adjust.
      Tap "Motion Settings."
      Tap "Smart Alerts."
      Tap "Enable Feature."
      Tap "Continue."
      Select the notification options that you want for "Person" and "Other Motion."
      You'll see a video camera where you can select or de-select recording and a bell icon to represent alert notifications.
      After you've adjusted your settings, tap "Done."

      If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Indoor Cam (1st Gen.), please reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.

      Thank you,
      Miyuki from Ring. Ring

    I purchased this to keep watch over my dog when I was away and had a dog sitter. The motion alerts are a great feature. I ended up screwing it to a window to keep track of my side yard.

    Impressed with ease of setup and configuration and the fact that Ring only needs a WiFi connection. Other systems require a base station, which is limited in coverage areas.
