Perhaps you are now in a similar plight. Before saving you from the trouble, let’s check how long will the videos be kept first.
By default, Ring allows users to store recorded videos in the cloud for 60 days. With Ring Protect Plan subscripted, the videos will remain for 180 days.
It also offers customized video storage selections from at least 1 day to 180 days. After 180 days, the videos will be permanently removed.
Then, can you recover deleted Ring videos?
Simply put, it depends on the location of the Ring videos.
β On the Cloud storage space (Server).
β On the local storage devices (your computer/external hard drives/SD card/flash drives).
Since the videos are kept on the Ring’s Server to protect users’ privacy by default, users cannot recover the videos after deletion. But things will be different if the videos have been downloaded to your local hard disks.
With proper and advanced tools, users can recover permanently deleted videos from local devices. Check out the detailed guide below.
The longer a video is deleted, the more difficult it is to recover because the data might get overwritten in your daily use. So there is no time to lose, and start to get the videos back right now.
