Frequently Asked Questions
Why name my Ring camera at all?
A custom name makes it easier to tell multiple cameras apart in the app, and it adds a bit of fun to everyday notifications.
Can I rename my camera later?
Yes, you can change the device name anytime in the Ring app settings, so feel free to experiment until one sticks.
Should the name be serious for security reasons?
Not necessarily. The name is only visible to people with access to your Ring account, so humor will not weaken your actual security.
Your doorbell camera works hard, so give it a name that works just as hard to make you smile. Pick your favorite, update it in the app, and enjoy every motion alert a little more.
