Hi LouiseC.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Indoor Cam to function consistently and reliably, so you can effectively monitor your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Indoor Cam are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We want to ensure your device is working as intended by providing you with solutions to resolve the concern you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. If your Indoor Cam is showing a "Privacy Shutter Closed" message even when the cover is open, try these steps to resolve the issue. First, completely remove the privacy cover from the device and then re-attach it. You should hear an audible click when the cover is properly attached, and also when you open or close it. After re-attaching, close the privacy cover completely and then open it again. Next, reboot the device by unplugging the power cable and reconnecting it, then try to open Live View again. If the message persists, the privacy cover may not be installed correctly. Make sure the privacy cover is flush against the camera on both the top and bottom, and confirm that the peg on the bottom of the privacy cover is fully inserted into the hole in the bottom of the camera until it clicks into place.

Hi AnthonyO.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are always looking for ways to improve our neighbor's experience, and your feedback is an invaluable part of this process. That is why we are dedicated to offering devices that help you safeguard what is most important at home, while also allowing you to connect with your neighbors from anywhere. We’re glad to read that you are finding the provided features useful.

I would be happy to address your concern regarding the issue that you are experiencing with the delay in motion detection of your Ring device. It is important to ensure that you have the proper motion settings in place for your environment. This includes increasing the "Motion Sensitivity" and setting "Motion Frequency" to "Frequently" in the Ring app. To optimize your motion zones and ensure that the device will detect accurately, please follow these steps:
Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (≡) on the top left.
Tap Devices.
Tap the relevant device.
Tap Motion Settings.
At the top, tap Edit Zones or scroll down to tap Camera Motion Zones.
Note: If you are using a battery-powered device, you may need to toggle on Advanced Motion Detection under Advanced Settings before you can add customizable Motion Zones.
To adjust an existing Motion Zone: tap the Zone you want to adjust, then drag the points of the Zone to do so. Tap Save.
To add a new Motion Zone: tap Add Zone and drag the points of the Zone. Tap Save.

Accuracy in motion detection can also be improved by enabling Smart Alerts for people only in your Ring app.

To enable Smart Alerts:

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.
