description Ring Neighbors Overview
Neighbors by Ring is a community app for sharing local safety information, including posts containing security-camera footage. People can view neighborhood alerts and contribute reports relevant to their area. Participation does not require owning a Ring camera or doorbell, which makes the service broader than a network limited to Ring device owners. Residents and neighborhood groups can use shared posts to gain context about nearby incidents and support local watch efforts.
Camera footage is contributed through posts; joining does not provide unrestricted access to other residents' cameras. The app suits people who want an additional source of local awareness alongside established community channels. Reports reflect what contributors share and should not be treated as independently verified accounts or as proof that the app prevents crime. It is also not a substitute for contacting emergency services.

Can I use Ring Neighbors without owning a Ring camera?
Yes. The Neighbors by Ring app is free to join without a Ring doorbell, alarm or camera.
What types of posts are allowed on Ring Neighbors?
The feed focuses on local safety, missing pets, weather events and community information. Ring's guidelines prohibit discriminatory profiling and encourage users to explain behavior rather than labeling a person as suspicious based on appearance.
Can I stop Neighbors alerts without disabling my Ring cameras?
Yes. Neighborhood feed notifications can be customized or disabled independently of core Ring device alerts, and the Neighbors feed can be hidden in the Ring app.
Who can see a video I post to Ring Neighbors?
Content intentionally posted to the public neighborhood feed can be viewed by nearby users and participating community organizations. A private Ring recording does not become a Neighbors post unless the account holder chooses to share it.
