We all know that the ring is used to make some amazing doorbell videos and act as a security camera for home. But here is the big concern for the protection of the camera and look after its privacy for the neighbor.

As it can be helpful to suspect the criminal who did the crime. It is in favor of the law of local enforcement. Thanks to the technology for this, they have come up with the idea to solve the problem. They have developed a Mobile App as a control center for Ring.

The Mobile App has a better user view and can manage their privacy and security settings only with the help of two-factor authentication. One is the video request and the other is authorized, the user.

Part 2:- Activation Of Two Factor Authentication in Ring

If you are a new user then you don’t need to follow this as in the new version two factor authentication is already activated by default.

But if you are an existing user then it is one of the important steps because without this you can not have its access in mobile hance can not protect your camera privacy.

Device For Client Authorisation

There is a list of devices like phones, tablets, computers, etc which have access to enable the Ring device. If you want to de-authorized any individual device then you need to do it for the devices because there is no option to de-authorize the single device.

Shared Users

This allows other users as well to have the access, display, view, and control of the Ring device. With the help of this, you can allow you to add any shared user who will be able to view the updates of the ring camera.

This will also give the authority to the third user to switch on and off the alarm. With the help of this option, you can add any guest user as well.

Linked Account

This option provides you the information which the third party has been allowed to access the ring account of yours. This will give you the privacy of the camera.

How To Disable The Video Request Of The Ring App From The Police?

The video request option allows you to manage the setting to reveal the footage of the camera to the local police department. This gives you the entire authority to allow or disallow it. This will help and will also alert you in a situation where law enforcement of the local area will request you to see the footage of Ring device which has been set at your doorbell.

Steps for this are as follows:

Step 1) Switch off the video request option by just sliding it towards off.

Step 2) Now a screen will appear which will ask you to confirm the disable settings. Click on yes.
