Does the ring doorbell still charge a fee to access your videos? null

Question

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 does not have a memory card slot for you to manage your own video logs and data management. You would be required to maintain a subscription to “Ring Protect Basic” which comes out to $3 per month, or $30 per year. This covers only one Ring device. If all you have is the doorbell, then this would be the plan I would recommend. 

If you have multiple Ring devices on your property, then you would be looking for “Ring Protect Plus”. For this service, you’re looking at $10 per month, or $100 per year, depending on the payment plan you decide. There is no limit to the number of Ring devices you can have on this plan.

You can still use it with out a subscription but with the subscription they retain a video history for 60 days just in case anything happens this way you can always go back and search. It’s $3 a month or $30 annually for 1 device basic plan or The plus plan is $10 a month or $100 for all devices. I have 3 spotlights the doorbell and 3 interior cameras so of course I have the plus plan. Happy with it. Works great.

As of last year (2024) the basic yearly subscrition is now $49.99. I was ok at $30 a year, but I bailed at $50. Bought a cheaper Eufy. I admit it’s not as quite as good as RING, but it’s definitely worth the 50 bucks saving and you can access your videos on a SD card.

Hello ScarTizzu,

Our Ring Protect Plans start at $3/month or $30/year per Ring device for the Basic Plan, and $10/month or $100/year for the Plus Plan. Each live view, ding and motion event are stored in the cloud for up to 60 days (in the USA). The Plus Plan provides even more perks by adding an exclusive discount at Ring.com, extended warranties on all devices within warranty at one location, professional monitoring for the Ring Alarm, and more! If you would like to know more about what each of these plans have to offer, you can view this information on our website here: https://shop.ring.com/pages/protect-plans.
