This prevents anyone from calling out to your Echo device and disarming the system without your permission.

Similarly, you can use Alexa to deactivate the alarm by saying, 'Alexa, disarm Ring.' When disarming, Alexa will also ask for your four-digit voice code (created during setup). Simply call out to your Echo speaker or smart display and say 'Alexa, arm Ring.” She'll respond back confirming the system is in Home or Away mode. Not all DIY home security systems support arming via voice control, but Ring's makes it easy to do with Alexa (the only smart assistant it works with) on your way out the door. Helpful Alexa controls for hands-free home security That's especially true if you live in an area with inclement weather or an unreliable power grid. Only some security features, like cellular backup, are available when low-power mode is activated, making the Power Pack a worthy investment to further unlock the awesome features of the Ring Alarm Pro.

Without it, the Ring Alarm Pro will operate in low-power mode when the electricity goes out. The Ring Alarm Pro already has a built-in internal battery that lasts up to 24 hours, but you can add even more juice to your system with a Ring Power Pack. In the Eero app, you can indicate which devices you want to automatically connect to the backup service. If you have a lot of devices on your network as I do, then you probably don’t need or want all of them using up the 3GB of allotted monthly data if things go dark. I shut off my modem to test the waters, and almost immediately, I received a push notification that the LTE cellular backup kicked in to keep things connected. You can sign up for additional data, which costs $3 per Gigabyte. Ring estimates that amount of storage should hold up to 300 Ring videos, 1.5 hours of video streaming, or two hours of video calls on a laptop-enough to get you through a brief Wi-Fi or power outage.

The plan starts at $20/month or you can opt to pay for a full year upfront for $200. When you sign up for a Ring Protect Pro paid plan, the base station can stay online 24/7 using cellular data (up to 3GB a month).

It connects directly to your modem, so you can ditch both your standalone router and alarm base station for a simple, all-in-one setup.

Since the Ring Alarm Pro Base Station (pictured with the Ring Power Pack) has a built-in Eero 6 Wi-Fi router, it plugs directly into your modem to provide fast and stable internet and home security.īy far the most impressive feature of the Ring Alarm Pro-and the main one that sets it apart from (every other DIY alarm system we’ve encountered)-is the base station’s built-in Eero Wi-Fi 6 router. What we like Steadfast security during power and Wi-Fi outages The Ring app offers detailed instructions about how and where to place sensors around your home to avoid false triggers from pets, sunlight, and other motion events. The peel-and-stick motion and contact sensors are quick and easy to install. Doing so remedied my issues within minutes and it was smooth sailing from there on out.

If you run into an issue, try rebooting the base station and closing/reopening the Ring and Eero apps.

Some others have reported similar headaches during setup. Setting up the Ring Alarm Pro Base Station is fairly simple, though I ran into some glitches the first time I tried to pair the router in the Eero app. Additional keypads and sensors can be purchased separately and added to the system at any time. Each bundle includes the base station, keypad(s), and a variety of motion and contact sensors. However, if you’re new to Ring security, it’s best to start with one of the Ring Pro’s 8-piece or 14-piece kits. If you already have a Ring alarm, you can simply purchase the standalone Ring Alarm Pro Base Station which includes the router and works with first- and second-gen sensors. The Ring Alarm Pro bundles a Ring Alarm System and an Eero Wi-Fi Router that’s completely customizable to your home.
