What’s Ring Protect?
Ring Protect is a comprehensive service that activates video recording and photo capture, saving and sharing for your Video Doorbell, plus a few extra perks. There are two tiers of Ring Protect: Basic and Plus.
Ring Protect Basic activates video recording and photo capture and sharing for individual Ring Doorbells and Cameras. It saves all your videos to your Ring account for up to 180 days and photos for up to 7 days, so you can review what you missed and share what’s important. Ring Protect Basic subscriptions start at only $3.99 a month and only covers one device.
Ring Protect Plus adds even more to your home security. It includes video recording, photo capture and sharing for unlimited Ring Doorbells and Cameras at your home.
It also comes with 24/7 Assisted Monitoring, an optional feature of Ring Alarm that notifies your emergency contacts via an automated call when your alarm is activated, and that includes cellular backup.
Ring Protect Plus subscriptions start at only $10 a month per home.

Do I need Ring Protect to use Video Doorbell?
No. You can still use Video Doorbell to watch over your home and answer the door from anywhere, even without a subscription to Ring Protect. Without Ring Protect, you’ll still receive instant notifications when anyone comes to your door, and you can answer the notification to see, hear and speak to visitors in real time right from your mobile device.
However, without a subscription to Ring Protect, you won’t be able to review any videos that you missed in real time, and you won’t be able to save your videos or share them with anyone. Photos will not be captured. Tap here to learn more about Ring Protect and to choose a plan that works for you.
