A must-have brand for video surveillance, Ring made its debut in Jamie Siminoff’s garage in 2011. The famous Doorbot video doorbell was born in response to a personal need of its inventor, who then decided to market it. An incredible story followed, including a TV appearance on Shark Tank that marked a turning point for the security camera manufacturer. Fourteen years later, Ring is one of the leading companies in its sector.
Ring: a reference in video surveillance
This new brand guide traces the birth of a simple idea and the rise of a company nobody believed in. Fourteen years on from the very first smart doorbell prototype, Ring now offers a whole range of cameras, doorbells and home security equipment.
Why use a wireless camera doorbell?
A connected doorbell lets you see and communicate with visitors from a smartphone, tablet or voice assistant, even when you’re not at home. Thanks to an integrated camera and Wi-Fi connection, it transmits live image and sound, making it possible to respond to a delivery person, verify a visitor’s identity or deter a suspicious person.
In addition to simple call notifications, these devices can integrate motion detection, video recording in the cloud and compatibility with other home automation equipment. They enhance home security while providing user convenience, as images and alerts can be accessed from anywhere, in real time.
How to secure your home with surveillance cameras
To effectively monitor your home with surveillance cameras, it’s important to choose models suited to each area to be protected. Outdoor cameras, often equipped with night vision and motion detection, can cover main access points such as the front door, garage or garden. Indoor cameras, which are more compact, can monitor strategic rooms and send notifications if motion is detected.
These cameras generally connect to the Wi-Fi network to transmit live images to a smartphone or computer. Some offer recording in the cloud or on memory cards, so you can review past events. Combined with instant alerts and sometimes built-in lighting, they provide continuous surveillance and enable rapid action in the event of an incident.
Ring is a perfect example of how a simple idea can be transformed into a complete home security solution. From the first video doorbell designed in a garage to a diverse range of connected devices, the brand has evolved to meet the protection and comfort needs of the modern home. With its smart doorbells, versatile cameras and dedicated accessories, Ring now offers users the means to keep an eye on their home and interact remotely, enhancing their peace of mind.
