Which Ring subscription suits you?
With a Ring camera or doorbell, you receive a notification when someone comes into frame and you can watch the footage live. Do you want to store the footage and watch it later? You need a Ring subscription. You can choose from a Basic subscription of € 3.99 per month, a Standard subscription of € 9.99 per month or a Premium subscription of € 19.99 per month. You can connect 1 camera or doorbell to a basic subscription. If you want to connect multiple devices, choose a Plus or Premium subscription.
Replay and share footage
You can store recorded footage in the cloud. You'll find them in the timeline in the app. This way, you can see exactly when and at what time something happened. With a Plus subscription, you receive an overview of all events at the end of the day. This allows you to easily view all recorded footage of that day. You can store the footage for up to 180 days. Want to store them longer? Transfer the footage to your smartphone or computer.
Notifications
When your camera or doorbell detects movement, you'll receive a notification via the app on your smartphone. With a subscription, you'll receive even more precise notifications. You'll receive a photo with a motion notification, so you can see what's happening at a glance. Thanks to person detection, you'll only receive a notification when there's a person on camera. That way, you'll receive less unnecessary notifications. Ring doorbells also recognize packages. The doorbell will send you a notification when there's a package in front of your door.
Photo function
Your Ring doorbell or camera will take photos the entire day with a subscription, even when nothing happens. This way, you can see in the timeline what happens in between recordings. In the app, you can select how often your devices takes photos. The more often your doorbell or camera takes a photo, the faster the battery drains. With a basic subscription, you can store the photos up to 7 days. You store the photos for 14 days with a Pro subscription.
