Locations are a function in the Ring app that allows you to group your Ring devices by their physical location. If, for example, you had a Ring Alarm and a number of Ring cameras at both your home and your place of business, you could group these devices into "Home" and "Business" locations. That way when you want to check on the status of a business camera or make an adjustment to the Ring Alarm system in your home, you can view devices at that particular Location.
This article will give you instructions on managing your Locations in the Ring app.

Managing Ring Protect Plans at Different Locations
If you login to Ring.com on a desktop computer, (using the same login and password credentials that you use for the Ring app), you'll see Protect Plan at the top of the page. If you select Protect Plans, you'll see your Location(s) and which devices are subscribed or unsubscribed to a Ring Protect plan.
On a mobile browser at Ring.com, (using the same login and password credentials that you use for the Ring app), if you tap on the three lines on the top left, you'll see Protect Plan as an option under Account Settings and can check your Ring Protect plan subscription. If you have more than one Location with Ring devices, you can tap Change Location on the top right to go to the other account.
