help Neighbors by Ring FAQ
Can I use the Neighbors app without owning a Ring doorbell?
Yes, the Neighbors community feed can be used without owning a Ring camera. A Ring device is required only when you want to contribute footage captured by that device.
Does Neighbors by Ring let other users watch my camera live?
No, joining the neighborhood feed does not automatically expose a live view of your Ring cameras. Video reaches the feed when a user deliberately creates a post or shares relevant footage.
What kinds of posts belong in the Neighbors feed?
The service is intended for local safety information such as missing pets, suspicious activity, hazards, and verified community alerts. Posts are subject to Ring's community guidelines and geographic neighborhood settings.
Is Neighbors by Ring the same as the Neighbors Public Safety Service?
No. Neighbors is the resident-facing community feature, while the public-safety service provides participating agencies with a separate channel for alerts and requests governed by Ring's policies.
