Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ring Protect?
Ring Protect is a comprehensive subscription service that unlocks photo capture, video recording, saving, sharing and more for Video Doorbells and Security Cameras. For Alarm owners a Protect Plus subscription activates Assisted Monitoring and Cellular Back Up, plus a few extra perks. A Ring Protect subscription allows you to link all of your Ring devices and set them to all start recording the moment one of your devices detects motion. There are two tiers of Ring Protect: Basic and Plus.
Do I need a Ring Protect subscription to use Ring Devices and their features?
No. You can use features including HD Live View, Two-Way Talk and Motion Alerts without a Ring Protect subscription.
Which features are included with a Ring Protect subscription?
A Ring Protect subscription unlocks Video Recording, Saving and Sharing for Video Doorbells and Security Cameras, plus features like Person Alerts and Package Alerts. If you have multiple Ring devices, a Protect Plus subscription allows you to link all your Ring devices together and unlocks Assisted Monitoring and Cellular Backup for your Ring Alarm. HD Live View, Two-Way Talk and Motion Alerts are all available out-of-the-box, without a Ring Protect subscription.

Ring Protect Plus covers all Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras at a single location for only £8/month or £80/year. It records all the videos captured by your Ring Video Doorbell and/or Security Camera and saves them to your account.

You’ll also get extended warranties for every eligible device for as long as your Protect Plus plan is in place.
What are the new features available in Ring Protect Plus?
Live View Picture-in-Picture: allows you to watch a live view from your Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras in a small pop-out window. Once activated, you can leave the Ring app and continue watching Live View in a Picture-in-Picture window, freeing you up to use other apps at the same time.
Snapshot Capture+ : allows you to set more frequent snapshot recordings between events and gives you the ability to opt for a longer snapshot storage time.
Multi-Cam Live View: allows Ring Protect Plus subscribers to simultaneously monitor live video streams from multiple Ring devices, at a single location when logged into account.ring.com. This feature is available for all Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras.
Event Summary: is a section in the History tab in the Ring app that allows you to view all events from your Video Doorbells and Security Cameras from the last 24 hours.
What is the difference between Package Alerts & Persons Alerts?
The Persons Alerts feature only sends an alert when it detects a person, so you won't keep getting notified each time your pet passes by. Available with Ring Video Doorbells, the Package Alerts feature sends you an alert when a package is detected in the designated area on your doorstep.
How do I link my Ring devices?
Your Ring devices can all be linked in the Ring app, where you can customise the settings and set them all to start recording the moment motion is detected. So if your Video Doorbell detects motion at your doorstep or your Alarm senses an open window, your Spotlight Cam, Floodlight Cam or Indoor Cam will automatically start recording too.
