FAQs
Does Ring Video Doorbell 2 require Ring Protect?
Live View works without a plan; video recording, history, and some smart alerts require Ring Protect — check current Ring plans for your region.
Why is my camera/doorbell Offline?
Check Wi-Fi signal at mount, router changes, and power (battery charge or wired transformer).
Can I use this with Ring Alarm?
Cameras/doorbells integrate in the Ring app for linked modes and recordings but are not Z-Wave alarm sensors unless a specific SKU says otherwise.
