The Ring Indoor Cam Plus is Ring's essential plug-in indoor security camera featuring Retinal 2K video for crisp, true-to-life image quality. It delivers a 115° horizontal by 60° vertical field of view and Low-Light Sight for full-color footage in near-darkness, automatically switching to sharp black-and-white adaptive night vision in total darkness. A physical Removable Lens Cover slides over the lens to block video (note: the microphone stays active when covered and can be separately disabled in the Ring app). Advanced Motion Detection sends real-time alerts to your phone, and Live View with Two-Way Talk lets you see, hear, and speak from anywhere. The Indoor Cam Plus connects over 2.4 GHz single-band Wi-Fi, plugs into any standard outlet, and is designed exclusively for indoor use — it is not weather-rated. A Ring Protect subscription is required to review recorded video clips; Live View and real-time notifications are always free.
What does the Removable Lens Cover actually block — video, audio, or both?
The Removable Lens Cover on the Indoor Cam Plus physically blocks the camera lens, stopping video recording. However, Ring notes that the microphone remains active when the cover is in place. If you also want to disable audio, you can turn off the microphone separately in the Ring app's Privacy Settings under Device Control Center. For a cover that blocks both audio and video simultaneously with a single physical action, the Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) includes a Manual Audio & Video Privacy Cover.
Can I use Privacy Zones to block out specific parts of the image?
Yes. In addition to the physical lens cover, the Ring app lets you draw up to three customizable Privacy Zones on the camera's field of view. Any area inside a Privacy Zone is blacked out in video recordings and Live View — useful for excluding a neighbor's window or a private area of the room. Privacy Zones persist whether or not the lens cover is in use.
Does the Indoor Cam Plus work without a Ring Protect subscription?
Yes — Live View, Two-Way Talk, and real-time motion alerts all work without a subscription. Without a Protect plan you cannot review, download, or share recorded video clips after they occur. Ring Protect plans start at $4.99 per month per device (or $10 per month for all devices at one location) and include up to 180 days of video history, Person Alerts, Vehicle Detection, and other AI features.
What is the difference between Indoor Cam Plus and Indoor Cam (2nd Gen)?
The Indoor Cam Plus offers Retinal 2K video resolution, which is higher than the 1080p HD on the Indoor Cam (2nd Gen). The Plus also includes Color Night Vision with Low-Light Sight, which delivers true-color footage in near-dark conditions, while the 2nd Gen uses standard Color Night Vision without the Low-Light Sight enhancement. Both models have a physical privacy cover and plug-in power. The Plus is Ring's higher-resolution indoor camera; the 2nd Gen is the budget-friendly option.
Does it work with Alexa and Echo Show devices?
Yes. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus integrates natively with Amazon Alexa. You can ask Alexa to show the camera feed on any Echo Show or Fire TV device, receive motion announcements through Echo speakers, and control the camera or trigger routines via Alexa voice commands. Ring does not natively support Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
