An easy way to surveil your home and property without complicated installation

When you don’t want to record anything, you can slide a manual privacy cover over the camera and mic. This also prevents anyone from viewing or hearing you remotely. Most other devices let you disable recording via software; however, a plastic cover over the lens provides a physical barrier that proves whether someone else can access your video feed.

Unlike most competitors, which provide only black-and-white video at night, this product continues to provide full-color video. When reviewing security footage to determine which suspect committed an offense, or what caused a strange noise, seeing the colors of a person’s clothing and the objects involved can be invaluable in figuring out what happened. Even when there’s no unusual activity, reviewing these records may still be worthwhile.

The Ring Indoor Cam has a built-in microphone and speakers that let you have a real-time conversation via two-way talk. Whether you’re asking your dog to get off the couch while you work at the office, directing visitors to leave their package by the front door, or checking on a family member, you can do it all from your phone using the Ring app.

When motion occurs in front of the camera, you receive a notification on your phone. With customizable motion zones, you can specify what should trigger an alert, such as ignoring movement from a ceiling fan or sun tracking across the floor each afternoon. Cutting out the unnecessary pings is what keeps the alerts worth paying attention to in the first place.

Setting up the Ring Indoor Cam takes about 10 minutes in the Ring app. Because it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, you can get a live view on an Echo Show or Fire TV with a single voice command. You can also get a Ring Home membership, which lets you store video clips and share them with others, not just view your camera live.
