The only Ring viewer for
Apple TV — no hardware.

Every other way to watch Ring on the big screen — a Homebridge server, a computer running AirPlay — means buying and maintaining another always-on device. Video Wall is just an app.

Ring doesn't make an Apple TV app, so people reach for workarounds. The most common one is Homebridge — a dedicated piece of hardware, usually a small computer you set up yourself. You install and maintain an operating system, add plugins, and edit config files just to get a single feed flowing. The hardware alone runs into the hundreds, it's complex to configure and keep running, and as an always-on computer it's drawing power around the clock. Pre-built boxes like HOOBS run several hundred dollars — easier to set up, but still a separate, always-on device you maintain.

The other route is a computer running AirPlay: again, a second device, and not an always-on one. You have to start the mirror by hand, and it stops the moment that computer sleeps.

Even when those workarounds run, they're simplistic — a single camera, no event history, no custom layouts. Video Wall needs no extra hardware at all. It's a native Apple TV app that shows every Ring camera at once, with full event history, fullscreen playback with audio, and a grid you arrange yourself. And it's the only multi-camera viewer reviewed and approved by Ring for its App Store.

It's a true Ring multiviewer — multiple cameras in one live mosaic, no Homebridge, HOOBS, or CCTV multiplexer required. And it runs on up to 10 Apple TVs in your home, one account.
