A:AnswerYes you need The Ring App in order to use and set up Ring. You need the Alexa app to use Echo show and to link your Ring to Echo. If you already have an Amazon account it's not difficult at all.
A:AnswerNo, you subscribe to their cloud recording for $3 a month per device or $100 for unlimited devices. You can then download the videos or share the videos to other social media sites if needed. There is also a neighborhood group all Ring users are part of to help share info in their community. My community uses it all the time to report crime around our area.

You do not need Alexa for it to work. Alexa is just another option to command Alexa to work your doorbell. The doorbell itself can be operated through your Ring App on your phone.
