Every Ring camera,
on your Mac.
Cameras and doorbells live on the desktop, in a real Mac app — floating windows, the menu bar, widgets and alerts. Available in the Ring Appstore.
Free for 30 days, then $1.99/month per camera. Cancel anytime.
Built for Mac.
A native Mac app. Every Ring camera live in its own window, in a grid or featured layout, with groups in the sidebar and a clock, the weather and recent activity beside them. Keep it on one display or spread it across two. Every feature, button by button.
Picture in Picture for Mac.
Pop any camera into its own window and pin it on top, or send it to Picture in Picture. It stays on top while you work, and a doorbell ring can open that camera on its own.
Every camera, one click from the menu bar.
The icon in the menu bar is the whole app at a glance: a live thumbnail of every camera and the last few events. Click one and it opens. It keeps working after you close the window, and it’s what keeps alerts coming.
Alerts, with a picture.
Mac notifications for people, packages, vehicles, animals, motion and doorbell rings, each with a still from the camera. Choose which cameras and which kinds of events get through.
Scroll back through your history.
Recent events beside the wall, filtered by People, Vehicles, Packages, Animals and more. Play any clip in its own window, save it to your Mac, or grab a snapshot from any live camera.
Cameras on the desktop, too.
Mac widgets, outside the app: one camera in three sizes, or a nine-camera wall, on the desktop or in Notification Center. Each shows the latest picture; click one and the camera opens live.
Turn any display into a video wall.
Wall Display mode fills a screen edge to edge with every camera and starts itself at login — a spare monitor or an old Mac becomes a dedicated security wall. Auto-Cycle shows each camera full screen in turn. How Wall Display works.
There are three ways to put Ring cameras on a Mac. One is a tab that keeps timing out. One is a server. Ours is an app.
