Hi @rwagoner! Video Recordings are available for up to 30 days or 60 days, depending on location. Check out our help center article which outlines this information for all plans, and more! 
At Ring we value your security and your privacy. Videos will only be saved if you are subscribed to one of our Protect Plans, or in free trial period. If videos are deleted manually, deleted after 30/60 days, or the plan lapses, there is no way to recover them as they are only stored on your account. We recommend downloading any important videos, in which starring videos is a great feature to give you a visual reminder to download if needed. I hope this helps!
