Any cameras that detect motion past 30 feet?

Question

Are there any Ring cams that will consistently detect motion at distances of more than 30 feet? I'd like to monitor my back gate entrance, however, it's approximately 40 feet away from the desired location of the camera. Unfortunately I can't install the camera any closer as I will lose wifi signal. TIA

Hi @jrlndy. Our Cameras are optimized to pick up a human sized object at 30 ft. Any distance beyond that, you might have inconsistent motion detection. To better help you decide how to place your camera, check out this [Help Center Article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041664712-The-Security-Camera-Placement-Guide). If you need to move your camera closer but your wifi signal is a concern, you can look at a [Chime Pro](https://ring.com/products/chime-pro-gen2?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=1739003666&utm_term=chime%20pro&utm_content=68785986715&gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WR1F1y-sf4ySLDv2E3QO658w3yKp_TeMDZcZNirLyOWCXqxWplfYikaAoMEEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WR1F1y-sf4ySLDv2E3QO658w3yKp_TeMDZcZNirLyOWCXqxWplfYikaAoMEEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WR1F1y-sf4ySLDv2E3QO658w3yKp_TeMDZcZNirLyOWCXqxWplfYikaAoMEEALw_wcB) to extend your signal. I hope this information helps!
