The Ring Car Cam works by recording video footage when it senses movement or when triggered manually via the Ring app or Alexa voice commands.
Here's a breakdown of how it operates:
- Motion Detection: The camera uses sensors to detect movement around the car. When motion is detected, it automatically starts recording.
- Manual Recording: You can manually initiate a recording through the Ring app on your smartphone. This is useful if you witness something while driving or parked and want to capture it.
- Alexa Integration: You can use voice commands through Alexa to start recording. For example, you can say "Alexa, record traffic stop" to begin recording a traffic stop.
- Cloud Storage: Video recordings are stored in the cloud, allowing you to access them remotely via the Ring app. A Ring Protect subscription may be required to access and store recordings.
In summary, the Ring Car Cam is a security device that records video based on motion detection, manual activation through the app, or voice commands via Alexa, and then stores those recordings in the cloud.
