Ring is delivering five new home security subscription features including 24/7 Recording (on select devices only), Doorbell Calls, Video Preview Alerts and Extended and Continuous Live View.
These new features are part of Ring’s refreshed subscription plan tiers, now called Ring Home (formerly Ring Protect), designed to bring more convenience and peace of mind to customers.
One of Ring’s most requested features has been 24/7 Recording, which is now available as part of the Ring Home Premium plan. 24/7 Recording allows eligible wired and plug-in cameras to continuously record and capture activity outside of motion zones.
Eligible wired cameras include Ring Stick Up Cam, Stick Up Cam Pro, Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) and Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera.
Included as part of Ring Home Standard and Premium plans, Doorbell Calls help customers never miss a doorbell ring. When someone rings the doorbell, Doorbell Calls will ring the customers designated phone like they’re receiving a video call, instead of receiving a push notification and needing to open the app. Customers can then answer the doorbell and speak directly to their visitor through Live View via their phone.
With new Video Preview Alerts, included in all Ring Home plans, customers will be delivered a short video clip in their push notification, letting them see a preview of the motion activity without needing to open the Ring app and decide what to do.
In response to customer feedback for more Live View time than the current 10 minutes, Extended Live View (included in Ring Home Standard) lets customers watch their camera feed live for up to 30 minutes. The Ring Home Premium subscription tier, coupled with cameras offering 24/7 Recording, unlocks Continuous Live View for eligible customers.
The Home Basic subscription plan covers one doorbell or camera device for $4.95 per month or $49.95 per year, Home Standard covers all home devices for $14.95 per month or $149.95 per year, and Home Premium also covers all home devices while offering exclusive features for $29.95 per month or $299.95 per year.
