A:Answer Hi Dvino1957,
Ring devices are a one-time purchase and incur no mandatory ongoing fees or contracts. We do have Ring Protect plans which allow you to access, download, and share videos. You can learn more at ring.com/protect-plans. Without this service, you'll still receive real-time video alerts on your smartphone as well as have access to Live View.
