To give someone access to your Ring camera, follow these steps through the Ring app:
- Open the Ring app: Launch the Ring app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Access the Menu: Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) located in the top-left corner of the screen.
- Verify Location: Ensure you are on the correct location if you have multiple Ring devices or locations set up.
- Navigate to Settings: Tap on "Settings."
- Access Shared Access (or Users and Pets): Look for and tap on either "Shared Access" or "Users and Pets." The exact wording may vary depending on your app version and Ring device.
- Add a New User: Tap the "Add User" button.
- Choose User Type: Select the type of user you want to add. You'll typically have options like "Shared User" (for basic access) or potentially more specific roles depending on your Ring Protect plan.
- Follow In-App Instructions: The app will guide you through the process of creating and sending an invitation. This usually involves entering the new user's email address. They will receive an email with instructions on how to accept the invitation and create a Ring account (if they don't already have one).
Once the invitee accepts, they'll have access to view live footage, receive notifications, and potentially use other features of your Ring camera, depending on the permissions granted during the setup process.
