Confused About Self Monitoring Ring Alarm - New Purchases (since April 2023)
notifications

Hi I am super confused about the self-monitoring options. I used to own a ring alarm system 2 years ago and self-monitored it. Reading the documentation, it sounds like things have changed. If I self-monitor a Ring Alarm System (no doorbells, no cameras) then: * I will NOT be able to arm/disarm the system from my phone * I will NOT be getting any notifications on my phone Am I reading this right? That's a funny kind of self-monitoring, which works only when I am at home (in which case the system would be disarmed :smile: ) I just bought a ring alarm system. If I can't monitor it on my phone then I'll be returning it. Are there any new new users (since April) that are self-monitoring? If it helps, I live in Canada. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @user49351. The features you've listed are exclusive to Ring Protect Plan subscribers. While you can still [self-monitor](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005322066-Understanding-Professional-Monitoring-and-Self-Monitoring) without a Ring Protect Plan, having one will increase the amount of features available to you.
