Without a subscription, Ring Doorbell will still save video recordings, but only for a limited period of time ranging from 30 to 60 days. The basic plan, which is free, allows you to view the live feed from your doorbell and receive motion alerts. However, it does not include video recording storage. So, if an event triggers the motion sensor or someone presses the doorbell, you will receive a notification, but the video footage will not be saved. To have access to video history, you will need to subscribe to one of Ring's paid plans or use any third-party app.
