Frequently asked questions.
Am I eligible for a Ring Protect Plan?
After you set up your Ring device (camera or doorbell) then you are eligible to purchase a Ring Protect Plan. Before you set up a device, you can review what plan would work best for you. A trial of Ring Protect starts immediately when your device is set up unless you have an existing Ring Protect subscription at your location. This way you can use the benefits while you decide what plan is best for you. For Ring Protect Plus, all home doorbells and cameras at one location for one user account are covered.
I am having trouble subscribing? What do I do?
We are here to help! First, make sure you have set up a device at your location. If you were not the person that set up the device, and you are a shared user on the account, please ask the device owner to login to their account on Ring.com to subscribe.

Is a Ring Protect Plan required to use my Ring products?
No. Your Ring products provide certain features (such as Live View and Two-Way Talk) without any subscription. Ring Protect Plans simply offer additional features for those who want them.
Can I try Ring Protect before I subscribe?
Yes. A 30-day trial of Ring Protect begins when you first set up your Ring doorbell or camera. Some retailers may offer special promotions with different trial periods. If you’re a current Ring Protect subscriber activating a device at an existing subscribed location, you are not eligible for a Ring Protect Trial. Your purchased plan (if any) starts once your free trial ends.
What happens when I add a new Ring device?
With Ring Protect Plus, all Ring home cameras and doorbells at one address are covered automatically. If you're currently using Ring Protect Basic and want to add more home devices at the same address, you can upgrade to Ring Protect Plus to cover unlimited Ring home cameras and doorbells, or sign up for a second Basic plan to cover one additional Ring home camera or doorbell.
I have a Ring Alarm system. Which Ring Protect Plan is best for me?
We recommend subscribing to Ring Protect Plus Pro, as it provides professional monitoring for your Ring Alarm. Click here to learn more about our subscription plans.
The Ring Alarm product is not currently available in Quebec. Quebec neighbors can, however, purchase a Ring Protect plan for other Ring products in Quebec to receive the benefits other than those that require a Ring Alarm. At this time Ring is unable to offer Alarm Professional Monitoring in Quebec.
I have a Ring Doorbell or Camera. Which Ring Protect Plan is best for me?
To get our premium features and to cover all your Ring Doorbells and Cameras we recommend signing up for Protect Plus. To get started with essential features to cover just one Doorbell or Camera you can sign up for Protect Basic.
I have Ring products at more than one address. Does one Ring Protect subscription cover them all?
No. You’ll need to subscribe to a separate Ring Protect plan for each address you want to cover.
Can I use multiple phones or tablets with my Ring products without Ring Protect?
Yes. Every Ring product can be monitored and managed by an unlimited number of mobile phones, tablets, and PCs.
Which forms of payment are accepted for Ring Protect Subscriptions?
Ring only accepts digital credit or debit card payments and any other payment methods offered through our website Ring.com. We do not accept any payments in the form of cash, check, or money order. Any such payments sent to our address will be returned to you, and you will be instructed to subscribe and pay for Ring Protect online. Payments that are mailed to Ring may cause a lapse in your Protect Plan coverage. If you do not subscribe and pay for a Protect Plan online within your trial period, or prior to the expiration of your existing subscription plan, you will lose your stored video recordings, and they will not be retrievable.
I am a Protect Basic or Plus subscriber, how do I redeem my discount?
Simply log in to your Ring account and add eligible Ring products to your cart. The discount will automatically be applied to your order total. If you are a new subscriber, the discount can be redeemed 24 hours after purchase of the plan. Terms and conditions apply.

Video History, Saving, and Sharing
Your Ring videos in the cloud are stored temporarily, up to 180 days. Changing your video storage time will only affect videos that are recorded after you adjust your storage time setting.
Snapshot Capture
Ring takes recurring photo snapshots throughout the day, so you can see what is happening between events (videos) in your Event History Timeline. These photos in the cloud can be stored up to 14 days. Storage options vary based on your Ring Protect Subscription Plan. To keep important photos beyond 14 days, download them to your PC or mobile device.
24/7 Professional Monitoring
Professional monitoring service is available only within the U.S. (all 50 states, but not U.S. territories) and in Canada (excluding Quebec). Ring does not own its own professional monitoring center. Smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring is not available for a business or commercially zoned address. See Ring alarm licenses at: ring.com/licenses. Additional permit or false alarm fees may apply depending on your local jurisdiction. Additional charges may apply in areas that require permits or guard response service for alarm verification.
Person and Package Alerts
Package Alerts work best with medium-to-large shipping boxes. Envelopes, tubes, small boxes, and food deliveries may not be detected. Make sure you have Motion Detection enabled in the Ring App.

3For extended warranty coverage, "Eligible Ring Devices" are Ring devices covered by an active Protect Plus Plan, if the Ring device was under the 1-year manufacturer’s warranty period at the time you added the device to your Protect Plus Plan. Non-Ring and other third-party devices are not eligible for the extended warranty. In the U.S., in lieu of the Ring extended warranty, Eligible Ring Devices are covered via a service contract administered by SquareTrade, an Allstate company; SquareTrade/Allstateterms are available here. The cost for the Allstate Protection Plan is included in the cost of the Ring Protect Plan. You may purchase a standalone Allstate Plan by going to www.amazon.com and searching for an Allstate Plan.
