You can zoom in live and video feeds but can not control motion but it detects up to 30 feet lile mine goes from my front door past my yard and fence to the street to across the street to my neighbors side walk if I want it that far and detects lile 180 degrees motion I feel. If you set it at an angle with the optional attachments provided by ring 2 it gave me plenty of room and I bought extra spot light 2 pack instead if 1 for 100 bucks more that cover the res of the yard and inside the home lol (Although not intended for inside use).
