How do I turn it on for all of the other family members who aren't the primary account using the ring app? I'm the ony one that can see it in my ring app as I'm the primary
Good question - it looks like right now, this isn't possible. Shared accounts don't have access to the feature (which is disappointing as my wife is setup via shared access). Ring are apparently looking at ways of changing this though. Until then, though, Ring have said that people can login to the same (primary) account on different phones. Shared accounts were originally more designed for sharing access with friends and neighbors, which is apparently why this feature originally wasn't rolled out to them.
The ring sensors sends an email immediately to the user but at this time does not send a text message to the user's phone. The problem with this is the user may have his/her phone 24/7 but not read the email alert until hours later. It would be much better if there were text alerts in addition to the conventional Ring email alert.
The problem with RING's water/freeze sensor is the alert is via email, not a text message to my phone. Frozen pipes are a concern up here in Alaska. So I went with a pp-Code sensor which has 3 distinct advantages: 1) The user can specify the threshold for temperatures, for example, send an alert if the temperature is above 70F or below 50F. 2) Text alerts whenever the threshold is exceeded. 3) The user can remotely look at hourly logs to see the exact temperature and trends for example 65F,62F,59F,55F 50F...etc.
I have 2 ring cameras in the front of the house on each end facing the front both cameras cover the front yard just different side how come I only get one notification on one camera for a motion then there’s time the other camera notifies me and the other doesn’t
I can't follow your tutorial. You're going through it as if everyone understands where everything is in this app. For example, you said, go into your ring dorbell. Then you changed screens several times but didn't tell us what youre doing, then you pointed to a new feature then suddenly your in rich notifications. I couldn't see how you accessed that.
I have new ring camera everything working wifi/full battery echt but not getting any alerts to my phone what am I doing wrong have all set on my phone correctly ithink
Mine is doing the same thing I stopped getting mine a few days ago and don’t have the option to turn them back on. Can you let me know if you resolve issues thanks.
@@ericlong3792 yeah just out of no where it just stopped and the option for it is gone . I read it's only for if you pay the monthly premium and I do so not sure what happened
Hello, you can turn this off for each device under Device Settings -> Notification Settings. However this can't only be disabled for shared users - it's either a case of disabling it for all users, or keeping it enabled for all users (unfortunately).
Just wondering if there is a way to get louder or an alarm type motion notification? I'm worried that when I'm sleeping a standard notification won't wake me up
Some people setup Amazon routines within the Alexa app. They set the trigger as motion or doorbell events, and then their actions increase the volume to 10 (on an Echo device) and also play a song or sound. This can be a good approach, albeit it's a bit of a hack and you will need an Echo for it
@Smart Home Point thanks for the reply. Yes I was thinking of doing this and probably my best option. I just wish Ring on their app would make a setting you could turn on to get alarm type notifications on your phone.
@@bengaligangsta tbh I've seen alot of comments about delays on getting live view up, answering the doorbell..m by the time I've done it.. they have gone etc 🤦
It uses slightly more yes, and so setting its frequency to 1 or 3 minutes is better than ever 30 seconds. But in reality, video recordings drain the battery a lot more than snapshot captures.
It takes a low res picture every 30 seconds or 1 minute, and helps to fill in the timeline. In other words, you can get a quick look at what your camera sees without a full recording being done.
@@rachellsmith9517 in this case, less is best. In other words, every 3 minute would probably be better. 1 minute might also be okay, although I would avoid every 30 seconds. As Ring's help pages says: "Note: Increasing the snapshot frequency on a battery-operated device will reduce battery life."
