The Ring doorbell <\/strong>is a popular smart doorbell that lets you see and speak with visitors at your door using your smartphone. One of the most common questions people ask about the Ring doorbell is whether you can connect two phones to the same Ring device<\/strong>. The short answer is yes, you can connect multiple phones to the same Ring doorbell<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll discuss how connecting two phones to your Ring doorbell works and the benefits of doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Connect a Second Phone to Ring Doorbell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To connect a second phone to your Ring doorbell, download the Ring app on the additional device and log into your Ring account. Ring allows you to be logged into the same account on different mobile devices. Ring devices can be associated with one Ring account at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second method is to log in with your Ring account on the other device. This method is riskier since you’re giving out your Ring account username and password. The device you log in with will have all the control over your devices, like your main phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notifications will work with third-party security devices connected to Ring. For example, ADT sensors can be used with Ring, so there’s no need to purchase new sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only requirement is that both phones must run the Ring app’s latest version. So be sure to download any available updates before trying to connect the second phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are The Benefits of Connecting Two Phones to Ring Doorbell? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a few benefits to having your Ring doorbell connected to two smartphones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With two phones connected, multiple people in a home can get Ring notifications and check the live video feed. This makes it easy for family members, roommates, etc., to all have access to the doorbell without having to share login credentials or hand off a single phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redundancy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If one phone\u2019s battery dies, loses WiFi connection, or otherwise becomes unavailable, the Ring doorbell functionality won\u2019t be interrupted as long as the other connected phone remains online. Having two connected phones provides redundancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible alert options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Ring app allows you to set different notification sounds\/alert options on each connected device. For example, you could set one phone to make a subtle chime and the other to blast an air horn sound when the doorbell button is pressed. This allows both phones to get notifications tailored to their different uses\/environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The activity feed that shows historical events detected by the Ring doorbell is synced across connected devices. So, having the app on two phones allows you to conveniently check the activity feed from either one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Devices Can You Share Access With? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ring doorbells can be accessed on any device that has the Ring app available for download. This includes all Android and iOS devices running on a recent software version. Once the Ring app is installed, the owner account or shared user invite link can be used to start using Ring doorbells on other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart TVs with Alexa or Google Assistant capabilities can also connect to Ring devices, except for Samsung Smart TVs, which only work with the Ring Doorbell Pro. All Alexa devices with a display, like the Echo Show, work with Ring Doorbells but not the speakers because they do not have a display to show you the live feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Ring doorbell is compatible with third-party automation systems like IFTTT, making it versatile when it comes to the devices you can use them with. It’s also compatible with the Ring Alarm system, which can be controlled through the Ring app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With live view and video capability, Ring doorbells can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. This includes smartphones, tablets, and even Fire TV devices. Ring doorbells can also be connected to Google Home and Google Assistant, allowing for voice control. SmartThings and other smart devices can also be used to control Ring doorbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
