In fact, everything about this testing was pretty seamless, and roughly identical to testing any other Ring doorbell. Regardless, they're easy to set up and worked well during my testing. I find it a bit odd to be unable to see what was causing the motion - only that there is motion - but Ring says it's a way to be respectful of your neighbors' privacy, such as a neighbor's apartment door.

You can select up to two privacy zones and no video will be recorded in those areas, although you will still receive motion alerts. Unlike motion zones, which are only available with hardwired Ring products, privacy zones are "dead zones" per this Ring support page. Privacy zones are a new feature I tested first with the Peephole Cam. Screenshots by Megan Wollerton/CNET Testing it out

The initial configuration includes questions that help Ring customize settings just for you.
