Understanding and Comparing Ring Home Plans

Supercharge your Ring experience with our most advanced features for your Ring Doorbells, Cameras and Alarm.

From reviewing past motion events¹ to Smart Video Search, Ring Home’s most-popular features help you get more out of all your Ring devices with an eligible subscription.

Without a Ring Home Plan, you can still answer alerts and live video on Ring doorbells and cameras as they happen.

Reviewing previously recorded video on your Ring cameras and doorbells requires a Ring Home subscription. Only events that occur after you have subscribed will be recorded. Past events might appear in your history, but you cannot view or recover them.

  • Standard Plan:

Adding on Professional Protection services

From getting the fire department to your home fast, to having trained security pros monitor your cameras while you're away¹⁵, pick your Professional Protection service and add it to your Ring Home Standard or Premium subscription.

  • Alarm Professional Monitoring:
    The Monitoring Center will request dispatch of real-time emergency responders when break-ins or any other emergency is detected by your Ring Alarm.¹⁴
  • Virtual Security Guard:
    Have security professionals monitor the enrolled cameras on your property and actively deter any unwanted activity they see. They’re available 24/7 and can request dispatch of emergency services when needed.¹⁵
  • Smoke & CO Professional Monitoring
    : Stand-alone plan for round-the-clock monitoring of eligible smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm devices. When smoke or CO is detected, trained agents can request emergency fire services to be dispatched on your behalf.¹⁶
    • Note:
      This is a stand-alone plan. Smoke & CO Professional Monitoring services are included with both Alarm Professional Monitoring and Virtual Security Guard, as well as active legacy plans (including Plus 1st Gen).

Your Ring Home Trial starts automatically when you set up your new Ring device

When you purchase a new Ring Doorbell, Camera, or Alarm, your device comes with a trial to the Ring Home Plan. When you set up your device in the Ring app, your free trial of Ring Home17 will start automatically.

If you are activating a device at a location that is already covered by a Standard or Premium Plan, your new home device is already covered.

Cameras and Doorbells

During the Ring Home trial period, you'll get access to features like saving, sharing and replaying recorded videos on all your Ring doorbells and cameras – plus Premium features like Continuous Live View³, and 24/7 Recording³.

Ring Alarm and Ring Alarm Pro

During the Ring Home trial period, you can access features like arming and disarming your Ring Alarm on your phone from anywhere – plus Cellular Backup¹³ options should your wifi or power go out, and Device Modes⁶.

If you are on a Ring Home Trial, we recommend adding your payment method today, and get automatically charged when your trial ends, so you don't lose any features.

Costco bundles and the Ring Home trial

If you purchased a Ring device through Costco, your trial period may be longer than the trial at Ring.com but you’ll receive the same benefits. To learn more, see Ring Home Plans and Costco Bundles.

Extended Warranties with Ring Home

With a Ring Home Standard or Premium Plan, you have access to an extended warranty from SquareTrade (an Allstate company). Under the extended warranty terms, your Ring device may be eligible for replacement if it experiences electrical or mechanical failure during normal use.

Eligibility requirements:

  • You must have a Ring Home Standard, Ring Home Premium, or Ring Protect Plus (1st Gen) subscription.
  • Your Ring device must be under the 1-year manufacturer’s warranty period at the time you added the device to your subscription.
  • Your Ring Home subscription (or previously Ring Protect subscription) must not have any lapse in coverage.
  • Your Ring device is not currently covered under another warranty, insurance policy, or service contract.
  • Non-Ring and third-party devices are not eligible for the extended warranty.
