Re: Choppy video and audio
If it is choppy even next to your router, you may need to reboot your router to refresh the connection. If it works perfectly near the router, you may need to look into getting a Chime Pro or other options to help your overall connectivity!
Secondly, why Does My Ring doorbell keep detecting motion? These motion sensors are triggered by heat detection, and the Ring app allows you to control how large of a heat signature the device picks up. Go to the Motion Settings section of the Ring app, and open up the Zones and Range tab to adjust the sensitivity of these sensors and to select the areas you want to monitor.
