Summary
Ring said TAKE will begin rolling out in phases in September and will become the default video-encryption standard for all customers worldwide once fully deployed.
TAKE—short for Throw Away the Key Encryption—was designed from end-to-end encryption privacy principles but tailored for home use, aiming to preserve Ring’s full feature set while giving users control of their video keys.
Ring said existing end-to-end encryption will remain available as an optional setting, positioning TAKE as the new default rather than a full replacement.
Earlier details showed TAKE uses rotating encryption keys temporarily stored in the cloud and deleted within 24 hours, allowing cloud features such as Smart Alerts to keep working.
