First, open up the “Ring” app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, and select the camera you’d like to customize.
Next, tap the gear icon.
Select the “Motion Settings” option from the camera’s settings menu.
If this is your first time setting up Motion Zones, you’ll be met with a popup explaining them. Tap “Continue.”
In the “Motion Settings” menu, tap “Edit Motion Zones.”
The first motion zone defaults to a generic zone (highlighted blue). To make your own, tap “Add Zone.”
A series of dots will appear around the highlighted area. Drag them to create your first zone. The first zone will be highlighted blue. Once done, you can name the zone and then tap “Save Zone.”
You can now see your first zone (in this case, the one named Side Yard). If you’d like to create another, tap “Add Zone.”
Like the first zone, drag the dots to arrange the highlighted area for your new zone. This second zone will be highlighted red. Name it and then tap “Save Zone.” You can only create three Motion Zones per camera.
You’re done! If you need to, you can come back and adjust the zones as needed, tweak the sensitivity of the motion zones, or even activate “People Only Mode,” which only notifies you if the camera sees a person walk through one of your zones.
