[Electronics-Talk] Ring doorbell users

[Aaron Spears]

Hi.


No, it may just say there is a person at the door, because you can set 
it to identify people and not alert if the motion is not identified as a 
person.


It also can tell you about packages being left visible in the camera, 
but it doesn't work very well yet.
