Question 1

Do Ring cameras need a Wi-Fi network to work?

Accepted Answer

Ring cameras rely on a Wi-Fi connection to transmit video footage in real-time and for features like facial recognition, but some functions may be available offline.

Question 2

Can I still use my Ring camera when the internet is down?

Accepted Answer

In case of downtime or interference with your Wi-Fi, Ring cameras cannot send you live feeds, but they may continue to operate on a limited basis, such as recording to backups in the cloud if enabled.

Question 3

Can a Ring camera be controlled without an Amazon Echo or smartphone?

Accepted Answer

While smartphones and devices like Amazon Echo enhance user experience with voice control, you can't actively manage your Ring camera without them unless it is connected to another network-enabled device.

Question 4

Will my smart locks and other home security systems work with Ring cameras without Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Smart locks and other systems integrated with your CCTV require a wireless technology network connection, such as WPA3-secured Wi-Fi or compatible cellular service from carriers such as Verizon or T-Mobile, for full functionality alongside your ring system.

Question 5

How does the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity affect the functionality of my carbon monoxide alarms and panic buttons that are linked to the Ring system?

Accepted Answer

Without an active Wi-Fi connection facilitated by services from providers like U.S Cellular or Xfinity Mobile, certain safety features, such as immediate alerts from carbon monoxide alarms or distress signals via panic buttons, won't be transmitted in real-time.
