Ring Cameras

Process motion events and recordings from Ring cameras

🚧

Beta Feature

  • Lumeo support for Ring cameras is currently in Beta and requires an invite-only opt-in on the Ring app or website to activate.
  • During Beta, Lumeo only processes motion events from Ring cameras, and does not support live streaming from Ring. Ring camera streams will not be visible in the Lumeo mobile app; only Event recordings, Dashboards and Notifications are supported.
  • During Beta, Ring camera import is only supported on an account with the Ring plan; please create a new account when initiating the linking from the Ring app. Connecting to an existing Lumeo account on a different plan will be supported post Beta.

Getting Started Guide


How it works

  1. Ring Camera Motion Events: After linking Ring cameras with Lumeo, Lumeo will import a short recording whenever it receives motion events from Ring. These recordings will be visible in the Camera -> Camera Uploads tab in Lumeo.
    • Ensure that motion detection and motion recording is enabled on your Ring camera if you do not see any uploads here.
  2. Lumeo runs AI workflows (aka Pipeline) on every new recording imported from Ring. You can choose Pipelines for each Camera from a pre-built library or build your own.
  3. View outputs: Lumeo Pipelines can detect objects, answer questions and send metrics to a Dashboard or trigger email / push notifications, amongst other actions.
    • Any recordings saved by Pipelines will be visible under Monitor -> Search tab, and any data saved, under Monitor -> Dashboards.

Linking Ring cameras

Link Ring cameras with Lumeo by starting the process in the Ring app or website. Head to the Integrations page in Ring and follow the steps below.

  1. Select Lumeo in the Ring integrations page on website or mobile app (available to invite-only Beta users)
  1. Select Cameras to share with Lumeo
  1. Connect and head to Lumeo to sign up
  1. Create a new Lumeo account (or Sign in if you have a Lumeo account on the RING plan)

  1. Confirm Ring linking in Lumeo console to be taken back to Ring
  1. Sign back into your Ring account and choose Allow data sharing with Lumeo

Setup and manage AI workflows (pipelines)

Lumeo runs AI workflows for every new motion event received by a specific camera. Workflows are configured and managed from Camera settings page at Deploy -> Cameras -> Specific Camera -> Settings.

Add new workflow

Click Add Reference Pipeline button on Ring camera settings to get started.

  1. Select a workflow

  1. Choose one from the templates or one you have already created. Workflow title specifies what it will do : send data to a dashboard, save a recording or send notifications.

  1. Pick an existing motion event to test the workflow with.

  1. Adjust settings and hit Deploy so save them for future motion events.

Once a new workflow is deployed, Lumeo will run it once. The workflow will now appear in the Camera settings tab, and you can make further tweaks by editing it's settings.

Configuring workflow settings

Update a workflow's settings by clicking on the Reference deployment's name for that workflow in the Ring Camera settings tab.

  1. Click reference deployment name to edit a workflow's settings
  1. Click Edit configuration
  1. Make adjustments and click Deploy to save settings and apply them to future motion events

Workflow Results

Receive notifications

Workflows that support notifications can be configured to send email or push notifications to a specific email address by enabling notifications and specifying the email address.

You will receive email (and if signed in with that email address on Lumeo mobile app, push notifications) when the workflow triggers them.

Enable notifications and specify an email address to receive email notifications (or push if you are signed in to the Lumeo mobile app using that email address)

Search for events

Head over to Monitor -> Search to search for recordings saved by the workflows. Each recording also shows any events or objects detected in that recording.
