Key Takeaways
- The Ring app doesn’t support viewing multiple camera feeds at once.
- To view multiple Ring Cameras on one screen:
- Log into Ring.com and tap Cameras > Start Live Views > Manage Cameras to watch up to four cameras simultaneously.
- Use third-party apps like SmartThings.
- Use two different devices (phones/tablets) to view separate camera feeds.
For a smart security system, it’s a major flaw that the Ring app doesn’t support viewing multiple camera feeds at once. However, it isn’t impossible to view multiple cameras simultaneously. In this guide, I’ll share some practical workarounds to view all your cameras on one screen.
Can You View Multiple Ring Cameras at Once on the Ring App?
No, the Ring app doesn’t support viewing multiple camera feeds simultaneously. You have to switch between cameras to view different live feeds individually.
The closest feature Ring app offers for viewing multiple cameras at once is the Snapshot Capture feature. It shows recent images from all cameras on one screen. While not a live feed, it lets you check multiple areas.
To view several Ring cameras at once, you can use the Ring website on a desktop browser, third-party apps, or smart home systems that can integrate Ring cameras. I’ve detailed all these methods below.
How to View All Ring Cameras at Once
⚠️ Warning: Ring may limit your account if they detect unusual activity or misuse. So, proceed with caution!
Here are alternative methods that you can try to view multiple Ring cameras at once:
1. Via Ring Website
While the Ring app doesn’t support it, you can view up to four Ring camera feeds on Ring’s website with a Ring Protect Plus or Pro subscription. Here’s how:
- Open your browser and go to Ring.com on your desktop.
- Log in with your account credentials.
- Click Cameras in the menu to access your device settings.
- Select Start Live Views to open the multi-camera viewing interface.
- Click Manage Cameras and select up to four cameras.
- Use the grid icon to adjust the viewing layout by choosing equal or featured feed sizes.
- Click the full-screen icon for a larger view.
- Once you’re done, end your Multi-Cam Live View session by clicking the red phone icon.
2. Through Third-Party Applications
I explored third-party options and found SmartThings. I connected two Ring Floodlight Cams and a Ring Doorbell Pro, easily viewing all three feeds on my smart TV.
Note: Only the Pro Doorbell works with SmartThings, and while there’s no official list for cameras, my Floodlight Cam Pro worked fine.
Here’s how to connect Ring cameras to SmartThings to view multiple feed at once:
- Download and open the SmartThings app on your phone.
- Navigate to Devices > Add Device > Add Device Manually.
- Tap Camera or Doorbells, depending on which devices you want to add.
- Then tap Ring.
- Finally, enter your Ring account details and your Ring Cameras will get connected to SmartThings.
Now, you can view multiple Doorbell or Camera feeds on one screen!
3. View on Different Devices
I also tried watching two different Ring Camera feeds by opening one on my smartphone and the other on my tab—and it worked! So, if you have more than one smartphone or a tab, you can view more than one feed at once.
On each device:
- Open the Ring app and tap Menu ≡ in the top right corner.
- Tap Devices and select a doorbell/camera. (Remember to choose different ones on each phone).
- Keep all the phones/tabs in front of you and tap Live View.
Though it doesn’t provide a unified view of all cameras on one screen, this method lets you monitor multiple live feeds. However, the number of cameras you can view depends on your devices, and it may strain your Wi-Fi, affecting live viewing.
Troubleshooting Issues with Viewing Multiple Ring Cameras
Viewing multiple Ring cameras at once can sometimes be tricky. Below are common issues and quick fixes.
- 🌐 Slow Internet: Poor connection may cause video lag. Ensure at least 2 Mbps per camera, upgrade to a dual-band router, or reduce network congestion.
- 📵 Camera Feeds Not Appearing: Some camera feeds may not load in the Ring app. Restart the app, check camera power, and reconnect cameras to Wi-Fi if necessary.
- ❄️ Frozen Feeds: Issue: If feeds freeze or experience delays, lower video quality in the app, move cameras closer to the router, or upgrade to a higher-capacity router.
- ⚠️ App Crashes: Clear the app cache, check device resources, and update the app and firmware to fix crashes when viewing multiple cameras.
- 🔇 Audio Issues: If audio cuts out or doesn’t work, check volume settings, reboot the camera, and update its firmware.
View All Ring Cameras Live at Once
The best way to view multiple Ring Camera feeds at once is by using Multi-Cam Live View on Ring’s website, but third-party solutions like SmartThings or using different devices also work.
Here are more articles you may find interesting:
- If your Ring Snapshot feature is not updating, check Wi-Fi, restart the device, toggle the Snapshot feature, clear cache (Android) or reinstall the app (iPhone).
- You can connect 2 Ring Doorbells to one transformer as long as it can handle their combined power (16-24V AC, 30VA or higher).
- If your Ring event history is missing, check Wi-Fi, verify your Ring Protect Plan, update the app, check server status, and contact support.
