Travelling can leave you wondering what is happening at home. Connected cameras offer a way to check in remotely, alongside your usual home-security arrangements.
With compatible Ring cameras, you can open Live View and use Two-Way Talk through the Ring app. Check the features of your exact model on Ring’s South African product pages.
Choose an indoor camera position that gives you a useful view of the room, with a suitable power supply and Wi-Fi connection.
Ring’s Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera lets you adjust its view from the app, with 360° pan and 169° tilt. It also offers Live View, Two-Way Talk and a manual privacy cover.
Check your setup before leaving: test the view, connection and motion settings, and agree on camera use with anyone staying in the home.
Choose outdoor cameras rated for the location where you plan to install them. Features vary by model, so review the specifications before buying.
A camera relies on its power, connection, placement and settings. Test alerts and make practical arrangements for someone to respond if you notice a problem while away.
Live viewing and saved recordings are different services. Review Ring’s current subscription plans for recording, playback and other paid features, and check which are supported by your device and region.
