Home security expert Ring has revealed five new features for its Ring Protect Plus subscription:

Live View
Picture-in-Picture
Multi-Cam Live View
Snapshot Capture Plus
Priority Alerts
Event Summary

The update should help users boost security and get more value out of their doorbell or camera systems, along with extra peace of mind.

The new video tools, such as Live View Picture-in-Picture, Multi-Cam Live View, and Snapshot Capture Plus, offer insights into activating, viewing, deleting, and downloading snapshots and allow adjustments to snapshot frequency.

Meanwhile, the Enhanced Notifications feature allows users to customize notifications and keep up with what’s happening at home. In addition, a Priority Alerts tool enables alerts when a mobile device is in Do Not Disturb mode and can override settings like Alerts Snooze and Motion Schedules. Finally, the Event Summary feature offers a daily digest of all events and recordings.

“We have always focused on home security solutions that are flexible to work in any space,” said Mohammad Meraj Hoda, Ring’s Vice President of Emerging Markets. “We are seeing more households turn to Ring for the peace of mind that comes from knowing their homes are secure. We’re giving our customers tools they need to build a home security system exactly the way they need it”.

The company is currently offering a free 30-day free trial to its Ring Protect service with any Ring Video Doorbell or Security Camera purchase. The Ring Protect Plus subscription can be purchased later for $10/month or $100/year.
