Ring on the jobsite: here's the honest state.
Ring opened a partner API in 2026. Dozer links through it once Ring approves. Until then, a spare phone fills the free camera in two minutes.

What Dozer gets from it
Through Ring's partner API: device list, status and settings. Ring has no RTSP or ONVIF, so there's no local path.
Good
- Many crews already own one
- Sign in, no keys
Watch for
- Waits on Ring's partner approval
- Ring has no local video path (no RTSP or ONVIF)
Then Dozer watches the cameras so you don't have to.
Each camera feeds the site's page in the app. Dozer reads every frame for what a foreman would care about and writes it down.
- Trucks in and out, with or without a ticket photo
- People in a trench, and whether the box is in
- Machines moving after hours, with a clip saved
- A Friday time-lapse for the owner, made for you

Questions crews ask
Can I connect Ring to Dozer today?
Not yet. Ring's partner API needs Ring to approve each partner, and that approval is pending. Use a spare phone as a camera in the meantime; it's free.
Why can't Dozer read Ring video directly?
Ring cameras don't offer RTSP or ONVIF, the standard ways other cameras share video. Everything goes through Ring's cloud and its partner API.
