So I have a few days left on my “free trial” of Ring protect. If I don’t purchase one of the plans, does it not record events at all? Will I have to click on every motion detection notification right then to see if it’s something I need to be concerned about? Or will it hold the recordings for a few hours or a day? If not, what will the dashboard look like? Just trying to decide what to do!

It will not record at all if not subscribed, only live view when clicking on notifications

@jaquelinejaquelyn thanks! That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure if maybe there was a window of time that it would hold recordings and just not store them for the 30 days!

@schade it’s actually 60 days with the plan. I have 4 cameras and pay the $100 a year. 60 days of recording and extended warranty included in that price

@jaquelinejaquelyn thank you! This is very helpful! I’m definitely looking to add on more cameras! Just having a hard time deciding which to get!

The $100/ $10 month plan has the most value - Unlimited # of Cams with stored recordings - If you add their Alarm it includes professional monitoring - Extended warranties on all ring devices (I've not yet seen a bad story getting a replacement device after troubleshooting with their customer service)

Dashboard will look the same but if you do at get at least the $3 per month plan, when you click on a video it will say there is no recording
