1 To enable this functionality open the device in the official Ring app on your smartphone and go to Movement settings. Next enable Smart Alerts.
This function requires a subscription at Ring. This has been tested with a Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2. It is not guaranteed to work with all Ring Doorbell and Camera types. Please visit the Ring website to see if your device type supports Smart Alerts.
