Looking to buy Ring?
When someone pushes the button on your Ring doorbell, they’d better smile wide - they’re on camera! Ring LLC is the huge smart security brand owned by Amazon. Ring doorbells are one of the most popular video doorbells on the market today, and they’re often accompanied by a few Ring security cameras too. So what makes Ring so popular? Read on to find out!
A short history of Ring Inc
Before they were owned by the world’s biggest company, Ring had more humble beginnings, but only a little! In 2013, Ring’s founder Jamie Siminoff appeared on reality TV show Shark Tank, hoping to get $700,000 of funding for his company, then called Doorbot. None of the sharks on the show wanted a bite of Doorbot at the time, but it’s surely a meal they wish they’d eaten! Just seven years later, the renamed Ring Inc was the biggest smart security brand on the planet.
What features do Ring products have?
So they have a fun success story, but that doesn’t explain why Ring cameras are visible on city streets and suburban cul-de-sacs around the world. Ring products are popular because of their quality features.
This includes high quality camera lenses that ensure each image they capture is pixel accurate and razor sharp, built-in microphones that let you have a conversation with a stranger while you remain safe behind your door and a loud siren that will warn your neighbours and passers by if someone tries to steal your Ring technology. But physical features are only half the reason why everyone’s clamouring after Ring products. The other half is entirely virtual.
Ring’s big strength is in its online services. First off, the official Ring App (available for Android and iOS devices as well as your PC) connects Ring video doorbells and Ring security cameras together, meaning you can operate all of your security devices from a single gadget. It’s easy to use and simple to access real-time video footage of your home anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
Another reason why Ring is king is the Ring Protect Plans. These subscription services give you even more out of your Ring cameras. With a Ring Protect Plan, every time a Ring camera is activated it starts recording. Saved to a secure cloud server, this footage is yours to review at leisure. That means your Ring cameras could capture vital evidence if you’re burgled. With some Ring Protect Plans your Ring alarms will automatically call up to three emergency contacts automatically as soon as the alarm is triggered. No wonder Ring cameras rule the personal security world - they’re the smarter way to stay safe!
