Does the new Ring Car Cam serve as a dash cam? That is, when the car is in motion, does it record video continuously as you drive?

    I would also like to know how long are the stored clips? Stored on device and online? And does it have collision detection?

      Hey neighbors! The Ring Car Cam does record motion and video while you are driving. The video can be downloaded if you chose. You can learn more about the Car Cam [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/11987674603668-Ring-Car-Cam-Information).

        For the car cam, if i don’t have the LTE subscription, what happens to the recordings while im out and about? Do they not get recorded? Do they get recorded and get uploaded once in a wifi zone? Thanks.

          Hi @user32821. The Car Cam can save videos locally to the device, which can be played back in the Ring app when the Car Cam is connected to wifi. A subscription to Ring Protect Go is **required** to download or share these videos, or store video highlights in the cloud to access anytime for up to 180 days.

        Can the new Car Cam be easily uninstalled and reinstalled into another vehicle?

          Hi @MAB3813. Yes, the Car Cam can be uninstalled and reinstalled into another vehicle. It may take a little bit of time to untuck and tuck the wires back in when installing the Car Cam in a different car, as these are tucked away for safety reasons. We should have more information on our [Help Center](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/categories/11963951545876-Ring-Car-Cam-) once the Car Cam is released. It is currently available for pre-order in the US, with orders set to ship between 2/26 - 3/8 at this time. :)

          Yeah, you forgot to mention the “semi” permanent adhesive on the mount. How is that easily moved to a different car?

        So the car cam can only work if it’s parked outside your house with Wi-Fi. If I’m shopping and my car is in a car park and someone hits it I won’t get notified until I see my car or when I get home and park outside my house with Wi-Fi. If my car is parked down the road from my house and someone breaks in to my car, I won’t know until I go to my car to go out. I don’t think they thought this through properly. This car cam should work the same as the ring doorbell but it doesn’t.

          Hi @user33867. A Ring Protect Go subscription is required to stay notified about and check in on your vehicle when it’s on the go. Otherwise, if events occur while your vehicle is away from your home wifi, your notifications will be queued up and delivered to you once Car Cam re-connects to your home wifi. See here for more information on [Ring Protect Go subscriptions](https://ring.com/protect-go). This is because the Car Cam cannot communicate with the Ring app without an internet connection, either via your home wifi or through the data provided by the Ring Protect Go subscription.
