What are your delay settings for entry/exit on alarm sensors in each mode?

Hi All! I tinkered with my alarm entry/exit delays for each mode and now I can’t recall what the default settings were. Either way, wanted to know what delay settings you all choose to set for each mode. I’m not sure what makes sense for entry/exit in home mode as I presume nobody would be entering or exiting during that time??

HI @swagoner94. I use a 30 second Entry Delay. The default 60 seconds is just a bit too long for me. I also have no Exit Delay, because I usually use the Ring app to Arm the Ring Alarm as I'm leaving the driveway and everyone is in the car. You can learn more about these features [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030784072-Setting-Ring-Alarm-Entry-and-Exit-Delays)!

Good question. So, if your entry delay is set to 60 seconds *and you have no motion sensors*, someone can kick open the door, enter and walk around for 60 seconds before an alarm sounds? I can walk in, head upstairs, take the jewelry box and leave before there's an alarm. A delay is nice but shorter is better I would think?
