There are now three Ring Home subscription tiers available, previously known as Ring Protect.

Home Basic remains the cheapest option at £4.99 a month, which covers just one device and stores up to 180 days of video event history.

Users will get new Video Preview Alerts, showing a short clip in the push notification so you can instantly see what triggered a motion alert without opening the app.

Home Standard is the new name for Protect Plus, which also remains at £7.99 a month.

The changes will take effect from November 5.
