Sure, it was a false alarm, but this kind of response is exactly what you want for real emergencies. There were a couple of times early on when the motion detection sensor was tripped off by one of our cats, which resulted in a phone call from one Ring’s professional monitoring service.

In the three months before writing my Ring Alarm Pro review, the system has consistently been able to inform me whenever any of the sensors were tripped. Although, I will say that the new geo fencing option in the Ring app makes it even more convenient because it sends me notifications whenever I leave my apartment about arming/disarming it. Just like other security systems, the Ring Alarm Pro needs to be armed whenever you’re leaving - so that can be done either through the app or included keypad. All the sensors work as they’re intended, so whenever they’re tripped, a notification pops up on my phone to inform me. Who doesn’t like less clutter?Įverything is communicated through the base station, it’s the brains behind the entire operation. It’s not as pretty looking as SimiplSafe’s base station hub, but there’s no other like it around because it’s also a Wi-Fi 6 router. You can also extend its battery life with additional Ring Power Packs, which can be stacked beneath the hub. There’s a microSD slot on the back for video backup (more on that later), as well as an internal battery backup that lasts up to 24 hours in low power mode. And trust me, it was loud enough to get my neighbor’s attention. These sensors all communicate to the router/hub through Z-Wave technology, so they offer good range while also being energy efficient.īeyond that, it’s worth pointing out that the hub has a deafening 104 dB siren that sounds off whenever the alarm is tripped.

I was guided on how to replace my router through the Ring app, which also had me set up all the other sensors that came included with the packaging - like the door sensor, motion detector, and window sensors. I decided to swap mine for this, just because of the added benefit of expanding the network’s range by purchasing additional Eero 6 extenders whenever they’re needed. That means determining whether or not you want to replace your existing router. Getting the Ring Alarm Pro set up involves installing several components since it’s also technically a Wi-Fi 6 Eero router.
