Motion sensor can you change distance

Question

Hi I’m new to Ring but I am getting notification every time anyone walks past the end of our front path. Which is a lot of notifications when the local school kicks out! Can I change it to only pick up when someone is close to the door?

Hi @Hufflepuff2222. Yes, you can adjust your Motion Zones and Motion Sensitivity so the Doorbell is more focused on detecting visitors closer to your door rather than things happening farther from the Doorbell. We have more information about Motion Zones and how to edit them [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/210243483-Utilising-Customisable-Motion-Zones-with-your-Ring-devices-). If you have a battery powered Doorbell, you will also have access to the [Motion Frequency](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-optimising-motion-detection-with-the-Motion-Frequency-setting) setting to further refine your motion detection.
