FAQ


How does Ring alarm motion detector work?

The Ring Alarm motion detectors use Passive Infrared sensors (PIR) to scan whatever room they're placed in. These detectors use heat to detect motion in the room and when a warm body like a human or animal passes in the area it is monitoring (its field of view) the sensor detects the change.

Does the Ring motion detector set off the alarm?

The Ring Alarm Motion Detector is designed to monitor a room or area inside your home for heat and movement. When armed, the Motion Detector will trigger your Ring Alarm when heat and movement are detected.

How far does the Ring motion sensor detect?

The motion detection on powered Ring devices can detect motion up to 30 feet away from the camera.

Can the Ring motion sensor turn on lights?

When the Motion Sensor detects motion, you can program it to trigger other Ring Lighting devices to turn on.

Is there a monthly fee for the Ring alarm system?

There is no required annual contract to use a Ring Alarm system. You can self-monitor with no monthly fee or purchase a monitoring plan. With self-monitoring, it's up to you to call the police during an emergency.

Does Ring call the police?

When you trigger SOS in the Ring app, we send a signal to request police, fire, or medical response to your verified address on the account. If you requested fire or medical dispatch, our monitoring center will call every emergency contact; if nobody answers the call, we will request dispatch.

Does Ring scare burglars?

One of the best ways to deter burglars is with motion-activated lighting/camera combos. Ring offers affordable and highly effective options in their Spotlight Cam and Floodlight Cam.

Ring Alarm Security Kit

The Ring security system is a DIY home security system that includes a base station, keypad, contact sensor, motion detector, and range extender. The base station connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network and communicates with the other devices in the system. The keypad allows you to arm and disarm the system with a passcode. The contact sensor detects when doors and windows are opened or closed. The motion detector detects movement in a room. The range extender helps to extend the range of the system. It is designed to be easy to install and use. You can control the system with the Ring app on your phone or tablet. The system can be armed and disarmed remotely, and you can receive alerts when the system is triggered. You can also add additional sensors and devices to the system as needed. The Ring security system is compatible with Amazon Alexa devices for voice control.
