RING ALARM PRO SECURITY KIT PRO
What really sets the Ring Alarm Pro apart from other home security systems is that it offers backup support for both internet and power outages. Some home security systems can become vulnerable, but not the Ring Alarm Pro. Beyond the usual set of sensors, there are those that can detect other hazards - like water accumulating on a floor or even listening out for fire/carbon monoxide sirens you may already have. I really like that there are so many accessories that tie into the Ring Alarm Pro home security system, so you can sleep knowing that you’re covered.

That happened once in the year I’ve been on Ring Protect Plus, and I received a phone call from Ring’s professional monitoring service. If you have pets around, I’d also recommend adjusting the sensitivity of your motion sensor, because it’s possible for them to set off the alarm when moving around. Whenever a door or window opens, I’m alerted through the app about those events, which can be combined with other automations, such as automatically having a Ring camera set to record the moment those sensors are tripped. In the time I’ve been using the Ring Alarm (2nd Gen), I’ve never had any problems.
I personally would have preferred having some of those options accessible through the Ring app because it means one less app to manage. This can cause confusion for some people because it’s technically a separate app, but it’s needed if you want to monitor the traffic on your network, change the router’s settings, and add additional Eero Wi-Fi 6 mesh extenders. In order to access or modify some of the router’s settings, you’ll need to do it through the Eero app. If there’s one critical feature I’d recommend turning on, it’s setting up the geofence - so that it’ll automatically alert you about arming/disarming the system based on your phone’s GPS location. In terms of arming/disarming the security system, I like that the option is conveniently available right from the main screen. If you’re a longtime Ring user, you shouldn’t have too much trouble, but for anyone new, it’ll require them to put in serious time going through the app. The Ring app has gone through many updates, but it can be somewhat overwhelming trying to navigate around the app to find different settings. They simply wouldn’t connect initially, but updating the Ring app seemed to clear up the problem. Once I got it set up through the Ring app, the only issue I stumbled across was getting my previous sensors to connect. If you already own a modem gateway that doubles as the router, you’ll need to connect the Ring Alarm Pro using an Ethernet cable.
Unlike the Ring Alarm (2nd Gen) that I had tucked away on a corner table, the Ring Alarm Pro needs to be placed closely to your internet modem. I tested out the eight-piece kit ($300), which has everything included with the five-piece, but tacks on three additional contact sensors. The base five-piece kit costs $200 and consists of the base station, keypad, contact sensor, motion detector, and range extender. The Ring Alarm Pro is available in a variety of configurations - which is good because it covers small and large spaces - with the option of adding accessories to the system at any time. The Ring Alarm Pro serves this purpose, but is distinct from other offerings because it effectively doubles as an Eero Wi-Fi 6 router to keep not only your Ring devices active and connected, but everything else on the network as well. So, how can Ring make it better? Perhaps by making sure that all of my devices remain connected, even when the power and internet go out.
