Ring cameras now work with ReefMind.ai

Ring cameras now work with ReefMind.ai. If a Ring camera already watches your tank, you can link it and see it next to the rest of your tank: no ReefMind Collector, camera IP address or camera password needed. ReefMind.ai talks to your Ring account cloud to cloud.

Before you start

• A ReefMind.ai account first. Linking Ring attaches it to the ReefMind.ai account you already have. It never creates a new one. No account yet? Create one at reefmind.ai first.
• A Ring account with a Ring camera.
• Your plan. Linking Ring is free on every plan. Snapshots, live video and camera AI checks are part of the ReefMind.ai Pro plan, the same as every other camera type. The free 10-day trial includes them too.
• Different emails are fine. Your Ring email and your ReefMind.ai email can be different. You choose which ReefMind.ai account gets your Ring cameras.

How to link your Ring cameras

You link Ring from the Ring app, and Ring brings you to ReefMind.ai to finish.

1. Open the Ring app, find ReefMind.ai in the Ring Appstore and link it.
2. Ring opens ReefMind.ai. If you are not signed in, sign in to your ReefMind.ai account with your email and password, or with Google or Apple if that is how you sign in.
3. ReefMind.ai shows the account Ring will link to, and the tank for your Ring cameras. If that is the wrong account, choose Not you? Switch account and sign in to the right one.
4. Choose Link Ring account.
5. ReefMind.ai opens the Camera tab. Choose your Ring camera from the list, give it a name, and choose + Add Camera. To add more Ring cameras later, choose + Add Camera and pick Ring.

Ring gives you 10 minutes from the Ring app to finish. If you take longer, open ReefMind.ai again from the Ring app. No tank yet? You can still link Ring: ReefMind.ai asks you to set up your tank, then you add your Ring cameras with + Add Camera on the Camera tab.

What you get

• A snapshot from each Ring camera every 15 minutes, and Snap takes one now.
• Live video in ReefMind.ai on the web, iPhone and Android. Ring ends live video after 60 seconds (30 seconds on battery cameras); choose Keep watching to start again.
• Camera AI checks on your Ring snapshots, like every other camera.
• Ring adds its watermark to every picture. ReefMind.ai’s AI ignores it.

Ring pictures are information only. They never change dosing, equipment or any automation.

Disconnect

On the Camera tab, choose + Add Camera, pick Ring, then choose Disconnect Ring. It works on any plan, and removes your Ring cameras and every Ring snapshot ReefMind.ai saved.

The Ring camera setup guide has every step, plus fixes for the messages you might see along the way.
