The battery-powered Motion Sensor extends the range of your Ring of Security. It connects to your Ring lights, doorbells and cameras via the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to activate connected devices whenever motion is detected. The Ring Bridge also unlocks smart controls in the Ring App and lets you receive motion-activated notifications and adjust settings right from your phone or tablet. To set up your Motion Sensors, simply place them outside near entryways and connect them to your Ring devices and the Ring App via the Ring Bridge. When your Motion Sensors detect motion, it can activate connected lights, doorbells, cameras and more.

Q: Will it be set off by trees, birds, cats or dogs?
A: Big dogs cars or people mostly
Q: How far can the sensor be from the bridge or WiFi. My driveway is long.
A: Hello Dressymess, Great question! The useful range between your Bridge and other Ring Smart Lighting products depends on the number of obstructions between them, and the materials they’re made of. The RF signal has a greater range than wifi, but you may have to experiment with your devices to find an optimal position. Here is a helpful article for your review before purchasing and installing: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025181851-Ring-Smart-Lighting-Bridge-Information#How_far_away_can_a_Smart_Lights_product_be_before_it_is_too_far_away_to_work_with_the_Bridge.

A: I know its been a month but I would still like to add my two cents.. personally with something like that i would get https://www.amazon.com/Driveway-Operating-Melodies-Security-Weatherproof/dp/B07YFT27K9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2H7Q5GOUPA8RN&dchild=1&keywords=driveway+alarm&qid=1612117697&sprefix=driveway+%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-3 It's a drive way motion sensor that doesn't need a bridge or the ring network. unless of course you already have ring.. then its perfect
Q: Can this be mounted onto a house made of brick? If not, what can I mount it to outside?
A: Hello Shopper777543, Great question! Yes, the Ring Motion Sensor can be placed on a brick surface. Here are step-by-step instructions for doing so: Slide the base down to remove it from your Motion Sensor. If installing on a masonry surface, use the mounting plate as a template to mark pilot holes. Then drill the holes and insert the anchors. Hold the base firmly against the surface and drive in the two mounting screws. Slide the motion sensor back onto its base until it clicks into place.

Q: Does the app alert you that the batteries need to be changed?
A: It hasn’t yet so I can’t really answer your question. I installed it about two months ago and it has not needed any batteries yet. Still reads full charge.
Q: Is there a monthly charge for this camera
A: This is not a camera. No monthly charge.
Q: do i have to have a hub for this to work
A: Hi whyme. Good question. Yes, the Ring Motion Sensor requires a Ring Alarm Base Station in order to work. The Ring Alarm Base Station is the center of your entire Ring Alarm security system. The Ring Alarm Motion Detector has multiple motion detection sensitivity settings that can help protect your home or business while avoiding false alarms. These settings are also useful for avoiding false alarms, especially if you have pets. Visit our support center for more information.

A: Hello Victoria, Great question! We recommend using the Ring Motion Sensor near the Ring Bridge so that it can work as intended. While you may be able to use it on your vehicle, we do not recommend it. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us directly at 18006561918. We look forward to hearing from you. -Jamila at Ring.
