Ring today announced the launch of video end-to-end encryption for compatible Ring doorbells and cameras, providing an advanced, opt-in security feature for customers who want to add an additional layer of security to their videos. Ring is the first major smart home security provider to offer customers this advanced security option. The feature began rolling out to customers today as a technical preview and Ring is soliciting feedback from its customers on their experience with the new feature.
By default, Ring already encrypts videos when they are uploaded to the cloud (in transit) and stored on Ring’s servers (at rest). With video end-to-end encryption, customer videos are further secured with an additional lock, which can only be unlocked by a key that is stored on the customer’s enrolled mobile device, designed so that only the customer can decrypt and view recordings on their enrolled device. Customers can easily enable video end-to-end encryption on one or any of their compatible Ring devices from the Video Encryption page in Control Center in the Ring App; and can turn it off at any time via the same page.
