Ring LLC is a manufacturer of home security and smart home devices owned by Amazon. It manufactures a titular line of smart doorbells, home security cameras, and alarm systems.

A Ring home security system is a great value, especially since you can buy as much or as little equipment as you want, as well as add on to your system as you need to. Monitoring is not required, though certainly recommended, making it even cheaper to ease into home security.

Ring Protect Plus is an optional plan that covers Assisted Monitoring and video recording services for Ring devices, and much more. With Ring Protect Plus you can receive 24/7 monitoring for your Ring Alarm system and save up to 180 days of Ring videos.

As mentioned above, you can use your Ring security camera or video doorbell without any subscription. Without Ring Protect, you can still view video footage with Live View, motion-activated notifications, two-way talk, and Theft Protection. However, you won't be able to record videos or access old history.

We recommend subscribing to Ring Protect Pro, as it provides professional monitoring for your Ring Alarm plus 24/7 Backup Internet for Ring Alarm Pro.

We'll cut to the chase - a Ring Protect subscription is not required to use Ring products. That means after installing your video doorbell or camera, you can dive right in and start monitoring your home. However, that's not the end of the story.

At present, Assisted Monitoring is only available to Ring Alarm in: Austria, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland, Andorra, Spain, United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Jersey, Guernsey, and Isle of Man).
