You do not have to pay for the Ring Timeline. The Ring Timeline is a feature that is available to all Ring users, regardless of whether they have a Ring Protect subscription or not.
The Ring Timeline is a visual representation of events that have occurred on your Ring devices, such as doorbell rings, motion alerts, and Live View sessions. It allows you to easily scroll through and review past events, making it convenient to see what has happened at your home or property.
With the Ring Timeline, you can quickly jump to specific events and view the associated video recordings. This is particularly useful if you are trying to locate a specific event, such as when a package was delivered or when someone visited your home.
While the Ring Timeline itself is free to use, accessing the video recordings associated with the events may require a Ring Protect subscription. The Ring Protect subscription offers additional benefits, such as the ability to review and save video recordings for up to 60 days, as well as access to advanced features like People Only Mode and Rich Notifications.
Without a Ring Protect subscription, you will still be able to view the camera live, receive motion alerts, and use features like Two-Way Talk. However, you will not have access to recorded videos beyond a certain timeframe.
It’s important to note that the availability of the Ring Timeline and its features may vary depending on your specific Ring device and the firmware version. It’s always recommended to check the Ring website or contact Ring customer support for the most up-to-date information on features and pricing.
The Ring Timeline is a free feature available to all Ring users, regardless of whether they have a Ring Protect subscription. While the Ring Protect subscription offers additional benefits, accessing the Ring Timeline itself does not require any payment.
