Ring is an Amazon-owned smart home security company founded in 2013 by Jamie Siminoff, best known for its video doorbells that allow homeowners to see, hear, and speak to visitors from anywhere via a smartphone app. The product line has expanded to include indoor and outdoor security cameras, floodlight cameras, alarm systems, smart lighting, and the Ring Car Cam. Ring's ecosystem integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa and other smart home devices, making it one of the most popular and accessible home security platforms available.
Ring offers both DIY self-monitored security and professional monitoring through its Ring Protect subscription plans, which also enable cloud video recording and storage. The company's Neighbors app creates a community-based safety network where users can share and view local crime and safety alerts. Ring products are designed for easy installation without professional help, appealing to renters and homeowners alike.
