My Ring Cameras
How a resident connects their own Ring doorbell and cameras to Seayora — by scanning the camera’s code on iPhone or Android, or from the Ring app — and what Seayora adds for free: every event saved, live view everywhere, labels, alerts and downloads. Why Blink cannot be connected.
If you rent your home through Seayora, you can connect the Ring doorbell and cameras you own and see them beside everything else about your home. It is under My Home → My cameras on the website, and My cameras on My Home in the Seayora app on iPhone and Android. These cameras are yours alone: your landlord, your building manager and Seayora’s staff cannot see them, list them or open their clips.
Connecting Ring
- On iPhone or Android, open My cameras and press Scan the code on your camera, then point the phone at the QR code on the camera, its box or its sticker. Seayora reads which company made it and opens the right way to connect. A scan only tells Seayora the maker — the camera itself comes from your Ring account.
- Press Connect Ring. Ring’s own page opens: sign in to Ring there, approve Seayora and choose which cameras to share. Seayora never sees or stores your Ring password.
- When Ring offers it only from its own app, open the Ring app, go to the Ring Appstore, find Seayora and choose Connect; Ring sends you to Seayora to sign in and finish.
- Ring lets a camera be shared with another app only while it has a Ring Home plan (Ring calls it a base plan). That is Ring’s rule and Ring’s charge. Everything Seayora adds is free.
What Seayora adds, free
- Every event saved: a clip of each motion, person, package and doorbell press is copied into Seayora about a minute after it happens, once Ring has finished recording it, with a picture beside it.
- Your own copy, kept for the time you choose within the limit shown on the page, separately from Ring’s history. When your space is full the oldest clips go first.
- Live view on seayora.com, iPhone and Android. Ring ends each live view after 30 seconds on a battery camera and 60 seconds on a wired one; press Watch again to keep watching.
- People, packages and vehicles, labelled the way Ring labels them when Smart Alerts is on for that camera in the Ring app.
- Alerts you choose camera by camera — the doorbell, people, packages, vehicles or any motion.
- Download any saved clip.
Why Blink cannot be connected
Amazon gives other apps an official way to connect Ring cameras and none for Blink. The only ways in today would mean typing your Blink password into another company’s app, which Seayora will not ask you to do. Your Blink cameras keep working in the Blink app, and the page says so if you scan a Blink camera.
Deleting what Seayora saved, and disconnecting
Delete all saved clips removes every clip, picture and event Seayora kept, at once, and keeps Ring connected. Disconnect removes the connection and deletes everything Seayora saved from Ring. When you connected from the Ring app, also remove Seayora there (Menu → Ring Appstore → Seayora → Remove). Closing your Seayora account deletes all of it too. Ring’s own recordings are managed in the Ring app.
Using your cameras lawfully
Your cameras are yours to use, and so is the responsibility for where they point and what they hear. Many states require everybody’s consent before a conversation is recorded, and a camera pointed into a neighbor’s home or a shared hallway can break the law or your lease. Ring’s own settings (motion zones, privacy zones, recording sound) are set in the Ring app.
Frequently asked questions
Can my landlord see my Ring cameras?
No. Cameras you connect are linked to your account only. Nobody else in Seayora — your landlord, your building manager or Seayora’s staff — can see them, their events or their clips.
Do I need a Ring plan?
Ring requires a Ring Home plan on a camera before it can be shared with any other app. Seayora charges nothing for what it adds.
Why does live view stop after 30 seconds?
Ring ends every live session after 30 seconds on a battery camera and 60 seconds on a wired one, to protect the battery. Press Watch again to keep watching.
Why is there no clip for an event?
Seayora copies the clip Ring recorded. If Ring had no recording for that moment, or the camera has video encryption switched on in the Ring app, there is nothing to copy and the event says so.
