How can UPS deliver a box to my door and my Ring video/motion-sensing doorbell not see it?

So mine is also hardwired and I had problems with the power output of my original doorbell amp that caused some weird issues that were rough to troubleshoot for a while until I replaced it. I dont have a battery option on mine, and not sure if still showing a battery level when it’s hardwired is normal.

if sensitivity doesn’t get it fixed, suspect the doorbell amp / transformer

That really did hurt my feelings. I make up for slowness in IDPA by missing a lot of targets.

If you steal someone’s ammo in the current climate you will be lucky if all they hurt is your feelings!

And what happened to the emojis icon?? is gone

I don’t have an alarm panel. Which system are you talking about?

I have vivint, but it seems like all the smart systems run on basically an android tablet hanging on the wall. CPI, ADT, Vivint... you can see the camera clearly on white panels, but mine is a black faced panel, and tlack black trim behind the glass disguises the little black hole for the camera.

That explains it. We were enjoying the home movies till you stuck that tape over it.
It’s all over Youtube.
 
The Ring has a setting for UPS and FedEx. It recognizes the trucks and won’t alarm you. They where so many complaints about how many times they are picked up on the “Ring” they built in a false alarm mode. Look in settings under parameters.

That doesn’t explain that spry, short little fella who races up to my door with wonderful packages.

Hmm. I checked and don't see this feature. Ring Pro.

Seems like a gap to turn it off. Truck is here and gone in a minute. Porch pirate following the truck can surely get in there before it reactivates.

Well, Ring is a Bezos product. Maybe I should dump it and buy from someone else, in keeping with my recent Amazon boycott.
I’m going on 48 hours now.

^^ That's a 30 day scale, it wasn't today (only know because I looked at the same thing a bit earlier - mine shows that hiccup was Jan 6)

I admittedly didn’t read all the replies this time, so if I’m rehashing a point forgive me. Some systems have a time delay feature that won’t send a new “event@ notification if it’s within a certain amount of time from then”first” notified event. Those time delays are user selectable so if kids are playing in the yard or your mowing grass you’re not getting blown up with notifications.

If I walk out my door, which lights up my Ring, walk to the truck, and walk right back in, it won’t light up again due to what I expect is this delay. I live on a quiet street and there was no history of activity from 12:30 PM till the delivery around 4-4:15 PM, that it totally ignored.

And I’m not challenging your reply. Just ruling things out so I can see if this thing can be dialed in.
 
The wife bought one of those Ring things. I installed it. Then found out quickly how to avoid entering our home with a new gun, or more than my allowable amount of alcoholic beverages without being detected. I installed a hook above the unit. Now I get out of my truck and hang my jacket on the hook. Don't know what I'm gonna do come summer.

Oh, it probably caught a thing or two in the day or so before i noticed
i may or may not have been flopping fresh out of the shower and chasing the mrs around the kitchen island when i spotted it.

1) check to see if you can disable the camera/recording, AND make sure it doesn't leave a log of being deactivated.
2) start carrying a backpack. you can smuggle a lot in when you carry ~2.5 cubic feet of storage space in and out every day
3) put your new toys under a window that is NOT on camera, walk into the house like you own the place, sneak over to the window and pull the toys in when the mrs isn't looking.
4) schedule a trip to the range, spend a while carrying cases in and out. she'll lose count and have no way of knowing if any were empty going out but full coming back in.

I'm not afraid to let my wife know when I buy stuff... but sometimes life is just easier if she doesn't know everything... like those days where i totally forget to make the stop at the grocery store to pick up what she asked for, but remembered to hit 2 gun shops and a surplus store...

Air dropped from a drone.

Mine will do that too. It’ll somehow miss the delivery guy every now and then but notify me the trash truck is stopped in front of the house 60’ from the camera.

I have the same thing happen with mine. One day it will record every car that comes down the street. The next day it won't pick up the Post Office lady til she's half way to the door. I've even had it pick up the trash truck when it is 2 houses down and the next week it won't pick up the same truck until it is right in front of the house Everyone I've talked to says the sensitivity on theirs changes like the wind. I've never had it not show someone on the porch though. You could possibly walk to the edge and slide it on, but that would require walking through the hedges.
 
Our Ring does similar-In the morning when the sun causes glare ours is hit and miss. I have a half-baked theory that the actual motion detection ( if it's like some other IP cams I have) is triggered based on the contrast and number of image pixels that change. It's probably not an I/R motion sensor. They also seem to be far more sensitive to sudden movement across the image from side to side as opposed to something that gradually grows larger in the center of the image.

I always bring my packages in through the garage so I'm not Rung up.
