Ring Begins Technical Preview of End-to-End Encryption for Camera Videos

Ring began rolling out an end-to-end encryption feature for camera videos Wednesday to eligible devices. The feature is launching as a “technical preview,” with customers encouraged to share feedback in the Ring app, blogged the company. By default, Ring already encrypts videos when they're uploaded to the cloud and stored on Ring’s servers, said the Amazon company. End-to-end encryption adds another lock to customer videos, which can be unlocked only by a key stored on the customer’s enrolled mobile device, it said. On timing of the feature, a Ring spokesperson emailed that the company is “always innovating and developing new Ring security devices and services, and we bring our products and features to market when we are confident they will best serve our customers.”
