Geofence available for indoor cameras?
Is there a geofence setting so that indoor cameras stop recording when residents come home, for privacy reasons? Other vendors have this, and I don't see it anywhere on the site, but seems like a basic functionality that is necessary.

    I also wish ring cameras would have geofencing for indoor. I haven’t purchased any for exactly that reason. Shame since I love my outside cams.

      If the indoor cameras supported Geofencing I would have bought two immediately. Ring has really missed the boat on this as it wouldn't have been difficult to incorporate this. I have Cammy cameras that have had this feature for years and Cammy is a much smaller company than Ring. I pay a subscription to Cammy and also to Ring for my doorbell and outdoor camera and I would have replaced the Cammy cameras with Ring indoor cameras if they supported geofencing but, as of now, the Cammy cameras are superior because of this. I think ring is missing a large customer base for this silly oversight

        I just bought 2 indoor cameras on the assumption that Ring, the most recognized name of all home camera manufacturers, would have this now standard feature and many more I never thought of. I’m returning them tomorrow.

I’m returning them tomorrow. This is where research on a product is very important. There are 3rd party apps that can add this if needed.

        What are the 3rd party apps? One could spend a lifetime researching every purchase for every feature but some are ubiquitous and therefore just assumed, especially from the biggest name in home security cameras.

        Nowhere, probably in someone's imagination... I've just checked the IFTT and there's no option for this either... My first camera is coming tomorrow and it will be also my first smart home element without the geofencing. Come on, guys.

      I just bought the ring alarm to test. When is geofencing coming? My arlo basically detects when I am home and turns off cameras. Then I enable it from 11pm to 6 am to override the off state. My garage door opener auto opens / closes with geo fencing . I know this is 10 bucks a month but these features can’t be that difficult. My nest SmartThings all know when I am gone. My current company may negotiate thanks to your cheaper pricing. I feel like geofencing will be the tie breaker or not having it may be a deal breaker :(

        It is ridiculous that it does not have geo fencing--I am sending it back. Almost useless without it because you constantly get notices if it is in away mode.. OR .. you constantly forget to change the mode to away when you leave the house. What good is a security camera if you have a 10-40% chance of it not being armed because the user forgets to put it in the right setting each and everytime they leave the house.

          As I mentioned before, I have cheap cameras at home that support GeoFencing so for a company as big as Ring to miss it out is inexcusable. I would happily buy a couple of cameras if it was supported but until then they are not getting my business

        Still no response from Ring. Clearly you don't listen to your paying customers
