Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ring for Business?
Ring for Business is a new way to get security, connectivity and access control where you work. Combining the simplicity and convenience of do-it-yourself smart products from trusted brands and Ring’s dedicated customer support team, Ring for Business empowers business owners to better monitor and secure their business.
Is Ring the right choice to protect my business?
Ring is an ideal solution for business owners who want the flexibility and peace of mind that comes with smart, customizable security. With Ring, you can monitor your business from anywhere on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
While Ring will support most businesses with Wifi service, we don’t recommend using Ring in the following scenarios:
- Where your Ring Alarm devices will be frequently exposed to extreme environments (for example, temperatures below freezing or above 120º F).
- There are corrosive chemicals or gases at your workplace which could damage your Ring devices.
- You need professional smoke or carbon monoxide monitoring included in your security solution (we do not currently offer these services).
- Your business requires a particular alarm system to comply with applicable laws, industry standards or your insurance company, like a bank or firearm store.
- Additional Alarm Base Stations are needed to monitor multiple buildings at the same address.
Which compatible products are available through Ring for Business? How do they work with Ring?
The eero Pro and eero Beacon, Key by Amazon11 & the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt12 offerings complement Ring’s security solutions, assisting business owners to better secure, monitor and manage their business. Businesses can improve their wifi experience with eero’s wireless mesh technology13 and the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt.

We recognize that every business is different, so we’ve designed our Ring for Business kits to be easily customized to meet your unique needs. As your business grows, you can simply add, move, or remove Ring devices around your property.

Use motion detectors to alert you to motion on your property. Place cameras to get visibility to what’s happening during and after business hours. Use a combination of our Ring Alarm Contact Sensors, Motion Detectors and Cameras to keep tabs on all areas of your business through the Ring App.Please note: Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories requires a subscription for in-app features and digital notifications, including digital arming/disarming.

How does 24/7 professional monitoring2 work?
When you subscribe to Ring Protect Pro and enroll in professional monitoring, our team will be alerted when your Ring Alarm detects a security issue. We’ll give you a call from a dedicated support line to see if you need an emergency response requested. If you give the go-ahead or can’t answer, the team will request for dispatch emergency responders like the police department or emergency medical services*. With professional monitoring, you can also immediately request these emergency services from your Ring Alarm Keypad or Panic Button. 24/7 professional monitoring is only available for Ring Alarm and select third party “Works with Ring”-certified devices; other Ring devices, such as Video Doorbells and Security Cameras, are not professionally monitored unless also enrolled in Virtual Security Guard.
*In jurisdictions requiring alarm verification, Guard Response or other verification is required before emergency responders will be dispatched. Learn more about Verified Response here.
How can Virtual Security Guard benefit my business?
You can add Virtual Security Guard9 to your compatible Ring Protect subscription for third-party monitoring of your business' Ring cameras. Be it a warehouse or a storefront, trained agents will monitor your enrolled cameras any time your Ring Alarm is set to Home or Away Mode and camera Motion Alerts are triggered. Rapid Response agents can check Live View, see if people are in the frame, and depending on the situation, can intervene on your behalf.
Your business will need a Ring Alarm, a compatible camera, a compatible Ring Protect subscription and be enrolled in Professional Monitoring to enroll in Virtual Security Guard.
What are the requirements to have Virtual Security Guard to protect my business?
Your business will need a Ring Alarm, a compatible camera, a compatible Ring Protect subscription and be enrolled in Professional Monitoring to enroll in Virtual Security Guard.9 Supported ONVIF-compatible cameras can also be enrolled. Please visit our Help Center for more information.14
What actions can Virtual Security Guard agents take to help protect my business?
When a person is detected, agents can monitor motion events on your cameras, engage through Two-Way Talk and your enrolled camera's siren to help deter unwanted behavior, and request to dispatch emergency services if needed.
Can Virtual Security Guard support all of my business locations?
Yes! As long as all business locations meet the eligibility requirements for Virtual Security Guard8, you can enroll your compatible cameras in the service by purchasing a subscription for each location.
Can Virtual Security Guard monitor my ONVIF-compatible cameras?
Supported ONVIF-compatible cameras can be enrolled into Virtual Security Guard.1 If you have ONVIF-compatible cameras set up in the Ring App, you will also need a Ring Alarm with professional monitoring enabled and a compatible Ring Protect subscription.3
What's the difference between Virtual Security Guard, Ring Protect Pro and Professional Monitoring?
Ring Protect Pro and Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) are subscription services that allow you to review, share, and save videos and photos captured by your Ring device and opt-in to Alarm Professional Monitoring.
Alarm Professional Monitoring is a feature of Ring Protect Pro and Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) that enables you to request dispatch of real-time emergency responders when break-ins or any other security threat is detected by your Ring Alarm.
Virtual Security Guard9 is a subscription service that can be added to your Ring Protect Pro Plan and provides live motion event monitoring by Rapid Response for enrolled cameras at your home or business.
While Alarm Professional Monitoring provides monitoring for your Ring Alarm sensors, Virtual Security Guard allows Rapid Response agents to actually see what's happening on your cameras and take action if needed. When Virtual Security Guard is active and a person is detected, Rapid Response agents will monitor and take action on that event. If a Ring Alarm sensor is triggered while Virtual Security Guard is active, the Alarm monitoring agent will follow the response settings you've customized in your Monitoring Settings.
To enroll in Virtual Security Guard, you need a compatible Ring Protect subscription that allows you to enroll in Alarm Professional Monitoring, which is a requirement for operating the service.
