A note for Ring Protect Pro subscribers with Virtual Security Guard¹

If you were subscribed to Ring Protect Pro with Virtual Security Guard at the time of November 5, 2024, your subscription changed to Ring Home Premium. There’s no price increase and no action required on your part.

Your separate monthly bill and price for Virtual Security Guard will not change, and on November 5, will include Alarm Professional Monitoring at no additional cost.

You also have the option of downgrading your Ring Home Premium plan to Ring Home Standard for $10 less a month, or $100 less a year. Ring Home Standard does not include Premium camera features such as 24/7 Recording, or Premium features for Ring Alarm Pro like 24/7 Backup Internet, eero Secure, and Ring Edge (Local Video Storage)².

If you prefer to downgrade, please contact our Customer Support Team.
