I'm placing the ring cameras in an area without internet or WiFi. I installed them at home on a network named House12, and set up a personal hotspot on my iPhone called House12 using the same password. The cameras won’t connect to my phone, even though I only want them to link so I can monitor their feed during setup. Internet is expected next week, but I’ll be away while I’m traveling. Unfortunately, I don’t have an extra router available.

You're seeing an issue where your phone isn't connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the computer, preventing communication during setup. Try switching to a mobile hotspot on another device and linking both the phone and the computer together.

A Windows laptop could function if you're planning to display files locally. Just ensure it meets your system requirements and has the necessary drivers installed.

They couldn’t link to my computer. When I reflect on it, I guess you wouldn’t be able to open them unless the network was active.

The ring cameras are entirely obscured by clouds and lack any local viewing capability.
