About the team
We started in a garage in 2012 when our founder asked a simple question: what if you could answer the front door from your phone? What if you could be there without needing to actually, you know, be there? After many late nights and endless tinkering, our first Video Doorbell was born.
That invention has grown into over a decade of groundbreaking products and next-level features. And at the core of all that, everything we’ve done and everything we’ve yet to build, is that same inventor's spirit and drive to bridge the distance between people and what they care about. Whatever it is, at Ring we’re committed to helping you be there for it.
