You’ve probably seen those Ring doorbell camera videos online, like someone sharing a wholesome moment with their neighbor or a package pirate around the holiday season. By giving homeowners instant access to what’s happening outside their doors, Ring cameras have earned a reputation for being both useful and surprisingly entertaining.

Pair that with the fact that installation is far easier than a traditional security system, and they’ve become a national sensation that we’ve come to love as well.

Do I need a Ring subscription to use the cameras?

Installing a Ring doorbell is a straightforward DIY project—most people can get it mounted and connected in just a few minutes.

Nope. You can use a Ring doorbell or camera without a subscription and still access essentials like live view, two-way talk, and instant alerts. The Ring subscription cost unlocks more features, including the ability to record, save, and review past events, with the Ring Basic plan starting at just $4.99/month or $49.99/year.

What’s the installation like?

Ring doorbell installation is straightforward if you’re comfortable with basic tech. It’s usually just a matter of mounting, connecting, and following the prompts inside the Ring app.

The same goes for most Ring camera systems, which our reviewer noted had a particularly easy setup. You can also watch this YouTube video we made on one of our favorite Ring doorbells.

Are Ring cameras worth it?

Absolutely. After years of testing and using these devices, we can say their usefulness has only grown. If one of the models sounds like the right fit, there’s no better time to bring a Ring camera home. Use one with or without a subscription for years to come, or consider giving one as a thoughtful, practical gift.
