Why does the cam not integrate with ring alarm system? (Review later updated)
Camera performs as expected and works fine. I took away stars since this camera does not integrate with the ring alarm system. Currently there is NO WAY to get motion alerts or record motion ONLY when no one is home. You can schedule times but schedules change often. I don't need an alert and recording every. single. time. I enter a room...
Idea that tons of people on the web are asking for: Have an option to record motion only if the ring alarm system is set to away mode! If this were available I would easily give 5 stars. If I had known about this issue I would not have bought the ring alarm system or the ring cam. I assumed a top tier company deeply invested in home automation would be on top of this.
Update Jan 2020: The Ring team has updated the Ring app so the camera integrates better with the Ring alarm system. You can now choose when you want the camera to record video. For example, the camera can now be set up to record video and send motion alerts only when the Ring alarm system is set to Away mode which is what I prefer.
