“Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification?”

You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled. Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices. I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door. If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time. What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert. That might get annoying but it is an option.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the sensor will activate the camera, the light (at night), and send a notification to your phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello TimP, No. The lights on the Floodlight Cam will only turn on for motion events when it's dark. If it is dark out and your lights aren't turning on you can adjust your motion sensitivity for triggering the lights by selecting Light Settings in the Ring app. Additionally, the floodlight's motion zones are divided up into three 90 degree zones that can be independently turned on and the distance adjusted to customize the area that will trigger the lights to turn on. The camera too can have its motion-sensing area customized through the Ring App, and can cover up to three different zones. The combination of these different customizable zones gives you complete control over the area you wish to cover with your Floodlight Cam.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Camera is always on, when there is movement at night the lights will come on and you will get notified.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes to all of those. The motion detector sets of the lights There is motion detection that sets off the camera When the camera starts recording there is an alert that's sent to phone I observe the lights being triggered on at times and the camera isn't. I don't know if the 2 triggers are the same. The trigger for the camera is adjustable on the Ring App, but I'm not so certain the LED lights work from the same motion detector. The lights are more easily triggered on. I don't find that to be a nuisance. If something triggers the light, it'll be fully illuminated when the camera is triggered
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From what I see on the App you can set the Linked devices to react when the Motion sensor on the Camera Flood detects movement. I speculate you can have all ring lights in and around your house light up when it detects motion. I have one flood with a camera and another without, on either side of the garage. The one with the camera is near my front door. I have it set if something enters the sensor from the one without the camera it will light up both and start video on the other, and light up the Ring bulb I have next to my door.
