If I already have basic for the year and get plus do I just pay the difference? Or do I have to pay the whole $100?

In my opinion, ring protect is a rip-off and i dont think it should exist. It makes the camera useless. Thanks for the video!

I have the basic protect plan. It takes up to a minute to show live view and I miss who is at my door. I was wondering if I upgrade- Will it work faster so I can actually see who is at the door?

I have 4 cameras outside I pay 100 a year thinking 🤔 about getting the alarm system for my home do I pay more for the home alarm system?

The bad thing about having a local storage to where the cctv videos are saved....when the burglar knows where the base station is...they will rip it apart and get it. That's what happened in my friends house. They have a CCTV setup and a base station to where all of the videos are saved. That is why now....they have a new CCTV system with cloud storage and not local storage.

My girlfriends brother had to move back in with us. I know he’s been unplugging the WiFi router to disarm my camera in my room so he can go in and snoop around. I just bought the protect pro plan. When I’m gone he is the only one in the house smh. If he unplugs the router will the cellular backup run off his phone to continue to record or how does that work? He keeps stealing from me I’m about to resort to violence but please someone answer this comment.

I think, dat yah need an update video on Ring Security Program. I ain't got dis issue wit my Ring Security system....
I download the 2 min video clip, dat it records, in me phone. (without yearly subscription)
I go live, anytime, (without a subscription)....and I get an alert and it records while it happens, as long as I go live option, on the phone...
I haven't figured out, how to see my camera's on the laptop, yet....still working on dat. But no probs, with my phone
2:06..I didn't know about guess that's how RING makes up, for the cheap costs??
