Ring Indoor Cam shared users or family members cannot control it

The checks in more detail

The privacy settings in the Ring app let you switch the camera and microphone off by schedule or by mode, so you can arrange that it is off whenever the family is home and on when the house is empty; that single habit answers most worries about being watched in your own house. Anyone visiting should be told that a camera is installed, and it should never point at a bed, a bathroom or a place where people change.\n\nTo give someone access,

use the invite option under user permissions, name the camera in the list, and pick a level. The invited person accepts by email within the two-week window, using the Ring account tied to that address. If a person cannot see the camera after accepting, the camera was probably not ticked for them, so edit their entry. Because the camera is plugged in, nobody's use of live view affects a battery, but a weak Wi-Fi signal makes the picture poor for everyone, so place it where the signal is good.

Remember that audio recording rules vary by place, and that recording a conversation without the speakers knowing may be restricted where you live, so consider switching off the microphone in the camera's settings if you only need the picture. Do not hand your own owner login to anyone; it controls every device and every person on the account. Check the list when circumstances change, such as a new flatmate, a carer starting or leaving, or a separation. If a person leaves, remove them straight away and check whether the privacy schedule still suits the home. Use two-step verification on your own account.
