All seems settled down and working

I don’t remember exactly when we started our install. Unfortunately we’ve been subjected to a few break ins and attempts. So far they all were thwarted by our home security systems alarms. But these guys seem to be getting braver and braver. Our sheriff’s dept recommended motion lights and cameras for our particular situation. We finally gave in and did so. Our security company actually recommended Ring for cameras and lighting. They did the first five I believe and I took over the project myself as we decided what else needed coverage. Right now there’s a dozen units. Spotlight cams Floodlight cam Stickup cams and a Doorbell 3. Using two Chime pros. The guys at the security company told us up front that any device such as these could be finicky. And almost every install had its own set of conditions. With a lot of research and help from the folks right in here I’m happy to say it’s been pretty routine and no problems for Quite Awhile Now. I’ll admit it took a lot of tweaking on a few to rid the spiderweb gremlins etc lol. But it’s rare we get anymore of those. Some of our units are actually mounted on trees with solar power. The critters there can wreak havoc on this kinda stuff. I’m pretty happy and least right now that The wife and I are only hearing what we want and for the most part the false alarms are very minimal. I found the People Only setting useful in a couple of these things. Although every once in awhile if like a spider comes down In Front and appears the size of a basketball it might trigger it. But I don’t imagine that can easily be totally eliminated without just shutting it off. We’re using the snapshot notifications. So when something does trigger one 9 times out of 10 I can quickly look and see what it was and no need to go thru the videos. Our unwanted visitors the last two events were blasted with the spotlights etc and so far haven’t been back. Maybe they finally get it. We’ve also seen some pretty neat stuff being out in the country. Just a few nights ago I got a notification and glanced at the snapshot. A little bear cub. Lol. Long story short I let the stuff do it’s thing and we had three videos off of two different cameras of a mama bear and her cub. We knew of course they were here in the mountains. Seen quite a few. But never seen em snooping at the garage door and my truck. Lol. Thanks to all the folks in here. The Ring guys and also the neighbors that have helped me.
