What's a Ring security system and how does it work?

The smartphone application from Ring is the base for your own Ring ecosystem. You can connect different security products to the app, in which you can decide all settings. You need a Ring account for the connection. You can set this when you start the application. Via the app, you'll receive notifications from the motion sensor and view camera footage of events. So you can watch all footage from connected devices in your ecosystem with 1 app.

You can decide which Ring products you add to your ecosystem. You can choose from different devices. Besides the well-known doorbells, Ring also makes different kinds of security cameras and an alarm system. This alarm system is expandable and consists of motion sensors and window or door sensors. You can increase the safety of the alarm by adding a doorbell or camera to the system.

In the Ring ecosystem, you can decide the cooperation between the different security products. Connect the devices with each other, so they respond to each others notifications. Does a sensor from your Ring Alarm at the front door give a notification? Your Ring doorbell or outdoor camera starts recording right away. This way, the cooperation between the devices ensures extra security.

To use all possibilities of your Ring system, sign up for a Ring Protect subscription. With a Protect Plan, you can store the camera footage of your doorbell or security camera in the cloud. This way, you can watch all footage of the past 30 days. If you have multiple Ring products, choose a Protect Plus subscription. This costs € 10 per month or € 100 per year.
