Do I need a subscription for Ring or Blink cameras?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ring requires a Ring Protect plan ($3.99/month or $39.99/year) to save and review video history. Blink offers free local storage via USB drive on the Sync Module 2, or cloud storage with a Blink subscription ($3/month). Both cameras work for live viewing without any subscription.
