Ring recordings are typically stored for a period of 60 days. During this time, all the videos recorded by your Ring device, such as doorbell or security camera footage, will be saved in your Ring account. However, after the 60-day mark, these recordings will be automatically deleted to make room for new recordings.
It is important to note that this 60-day storage period is a default setting and cannot be changed. Therefore, if you want to keep any videos beyond this time frame, it is advisable to download and save them to your personal devices before they get deleted from your Ring account.
Having the ability to access and review your recordings for a period of 60 days can be quite useful. It allows you to go back and review any footage that you may have missed or need for reference during that time. For example, if you were away on vacation and something happened at your home, you would still have access to the video footage when you return.
However, it’s worth mentioning that if you have a Ring Protect subscription, which is a paid subscription service offered by Ring, you can extend the storage period beyond the default 60 days. With a Ring Protect subscription, you can store your videos for up to 30 days and also have the option to download and save them for future reference.
In my personal experience, having the ability to review and access video recordings for a period of 60 days has been quite beneficial. It provides peace of mind knowing that I can always go back and check the footage if anything happens or if I need to refer to a specific event.
To summarize, Ring recordings are saved for a default period of 60 days. If you want to keep any videos beyond this time frame, it is recommended to download and save them before they are automatically deleted. However, with a Ring Protect subscription, you can extend the storage period up to 30 days and also have the option to download and save videos for future reference.
