Getting the most out of your wall
Your wall is up and running. Here’s what else it can do — the features worth trying, and the settings that make it look and run its best. Each one’s a line here, with the full guide a click away.
Features worth trying
All four are already on your TV, included in what you pay.
Let the TV tour your cameras.
Auto-Cycle shows each camera full screen in turn, for as long as you choose. Lovely on a big wall, and the easiest way to keep an eye on everything without touching the remote.
Use Auto-Cycle →Turn on fullscreen audio.
The grid stays silent by design, but any camera you fullscreen can play its sound. It’s a single switch in Settings.
Audio & sound →Watch recent events on the TV.
Every camera’s last 24 hours of activity is one button away from its fullscreen view — no phone needed.
Motion events & activity →Put the wall on every TV in the house.
One Ring account covers up to 10 TVs, in any mix of platforms, at no extra cost. Only cameras are charged for.
Add another TV →Make it yours
Choose which cameras appear, in what order, and how much of the screen they get.
Choose which cameras are connected.
Connecting and disconnecting happens in your Ring account, and it’s what your subscription counts.
Add or remove cameras →Hide the ones you don't need on screen.
Hiding tidies the grid without disconnecting anything — fully reversible, and per TV.
Hide or show cameras →Put your most-watched camera first.
List order is wall order. The top camera takes the first tile.
Reorder your wall →Let the sidebar get out of the way.
Turn on Auto-hide sidebar and the icon rail tucks itself away while you’re watching, handing the extra screen real estate to your cameras. One press of Back brings it straight back.
Auto-hide the sidebar →Turn the camera names off.
Once you know which tile is which, the labels are just something in front of the picture. Switching Show camera names off leaves the view completely unobscured.
Show or hide camera names →Tune the picture
Three settings that make the wall look and run noticeably better.
Turn on 24/7 recording.
Continuous recording gives the smoothest live feed on the TV, and a complete event history to scroll back through. Wired cameras only — on a battery camera it would cost you battery life.
How to switch it on →Set cameras to 1080p for better performance.
1080p streams to a TV noticeably more smoothly than 2K, and at TV viewing distance the two look nearly identical — quality you won’t miss, for performance you can see.
How to change it →Give each camera strong Wi-Fi.
Stream quality is set at the camera, not the TV. A camera with a solid signal — closer to the router, or covered by a mesh point — holds a cleaner, steadier feed.
More on stream quality →Get more life from battery cameras
One setting, and it's the highest-impact one in the app.
Put battery cameras on AUTO.
AUTO keeps feeds close to live while letting Ring rest the camera’s radio between events, which is what preserves the battery. LIVE holds a continuous stream — ideal for wired cameras. It’s set per camera, so you can have both.
LIVE vs AUTO explained →Find your way around
The four icons down the left of the screen — worth knowing, since nothing on the wall labels them.
On the wall itself: Select fullscreens the highlighted camera, and Back (Menu on Apple TV) returns to the grid. Press Back to bring the sidebar out — and if you’d rather it stayed tucked away, Auto-hide sidebar is in Settings.
Same four icons on every platform; only the button names differ.
