Amazon’s Ring smart home subsidiary will start charging for additional capabilities that were previously free of charge. Ring’s Home and Away Modes for its cameras and video doorbells will require a subscription to the company’s Protect service beginning March 29.
Using the Ring app, customers may toggle Live View and record on and off, regardless of whether at home. Anyone purchasing a Ring Alarm system on or after March 29 will be subject to a new set of paywall restrictions. A paid membership is required to use the Ring app or an Alexa-enabled device to lock and unlock the door remotely.
If you don’t have a Ring Keypad, you must use that instead. Security Cameras with Push Notifications are among the services shifting behind the subscription. Individuals who don’t pay for Protect can only view the past 24 hours of Alert events instead of 60 days.
Existing Ring Alarm owners are not affected by these changes. On its support page, Ring says that customers who purchase a Ring Alarm before March 29 but don’t activate it until after that date would have access to these services “for the expected life of the device” without paying for a subscription.
