You already have the cameras.
If you bought a Ring doorbell or indoor cam for your parent, and you now use it to check in every time the motion alert pings your phone, this page is for you.
Beside Care is built for households where Ring cameras are already in place. Connect them once in the Ring Appstore and let AI turn ordinary motion clips into a calm, daily picture of how your loved one is doing.
Connect your Ring camerasWhy this fits a Ring household
The cameras stay where they are. The work moves to the AI.
Use the cameras already mounted
Whether it is a doorbell, an indoor cam, or a stick-up cam, Beside Care reads motion from the Ring cameras already in place. No new sensors, no new mounts, no fresh holes in the wall.
AI does the watching, you read the summary
When a camera detects motion, Beside Care analyzes a short clip and writes a plain-language note. Three digests a day pull the notes into a calm overview of how the day went.
Gentle alerts on patterns, not paranoia
Beside Care learns the rhythm of a typical day. If the morning is unusually quiet, you get a soft heads up. No alarms, no buzzing about a passing car.
Privacy stays the default
Clips are analyzed and then discarded. Beside Care keeps text summaries, not a searchable library of footage. Live view is optional, never running in the background.
Which Ring cameras work
Beside Care reads motion events from the cameras Ring already supports in the Ring Appstore. If your camera reports motion to Ring and you have an active Ring Protect subscription, it works.
Ring Video Doorbell
Wired and battery doorbells, including Doorbell Pro and Doorbell 4. The entry-way is often the busiest activity sensor in the home.
Ring Indoor Cam
Wired Indoor Cam (Plug-In). Common in kitchens and living rooms where mom or dad spends most of the day.
Ring Stick Up Cam
Stick Up Cam (Plug-In, Battery, or Solar). Good for hallways, sunrooms, or porches where a doorbell does not cover the angle.
Requires an active Ring Protect subscription. Ring Protect is what makes short motion clips available for Beside Care to summarize. Ring sets Ring Protect pricing.
Share with siblings without sharing your cameras.
Add alert recipients to your account. They get copies of your daily digests and priority text alerts when something needs a check-in. They do not see Live View and they do not have any Ring account access. You stay in control of the cameras.
What Beside Care is, and is not
- Beside Care is a daily summary service that reads activity patterns from your Ring cameras. It is a calm check-in, not a substitute for a caregiver, a neighbor visit, or a phone call.
- Beside Care does not perform facial identification. It looks at activity in the frame and writes notes about presence, movement, and rhythm.
- Beside Care is available in the Ring Appstore, so your billing, cameras, and account stay in one place.
