Ring is excited to launch five new home security subscription features.
These include the much-requested 24/7 Recording (select devices only – see below), Doorbell Calls, Video Preview Alerts and Extended and Continuous Live View.
These new features Come as Ring has rebranded Ring Protect as Ring Home.
24/7 Recording
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 giving customers an even better understanding of what is happening at home.
Doorbell Calls
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 connected 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.
Video Preview Alerts
With new Video Preview Alerts, included as part of 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 easily decide what to do, from nothing to using features like Two-Way Talk or Live View.
Extended Live View and Continuous Live View
In listening to customer feedback, Ring has heard that users want even more Live View time than the current 10 minutes, so they can feel like they’re in two places at once. Whether it’s wanting to see their kids playing outside while inside cooking or to see how a pet behaves home alone, 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.
New Features, New Name, Same Price
These new features are available now through Ring Home, which replaces Ring Protect, and offers three plan tiers:
- Home Basic (NZD: $4.95/month, $49.95/year) which covers one doorbell or camera device
- Home Standard (NZD: $14.95/month, $149.95/year) which covers all devices at your home
- Home Premium (NZD: $29.95/month, $299.95/year) which covers all devices at your home
