Product Manuals

Q: I have a basic burglar system w/ ADT. I want to replace with RING. What do I need to purchase?

A: Great question, ADT! At this time, ADT sensors are not compatible with the Ring Alarm system. That means you'd likely need to start with the bare minimum of a 5-piece Ring Alarm Security Kit! This will provide you with all the necessities to start your security system. You can learn more about Ring Alarm and its features by clicking this link: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001012546-Ring-Alarm-Devices-Information. Also, the Ring Community forum was launched in March 2019 to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our customers. You can find tips and tricks from other Ring users at https://community.ring.com/. This peer-to-peer forum allows our neighbors to share their feedback and experiences to assist each other in resolving their concerns. Regards, Brett from Ring.

Q: will this work if your sensors have batteries

A: No this will only work with 2-wire wired sensors

Q: Can I use more than 1 of these with the ring system if my old system has more than 8 hardwired sensors? Also is there a solution that will work with my existing hardwired motion sensors? Thx

A: Yes you can use multiple retrofit kits

Q: Does Best Buy offer installation for this?

A: Use ring preferred installer instead

Ring Retrofit
The Ring Retro so far works as intended it does need to be hooked up correctly to zones but so far so good!

Great Product - Easy to Install and Set up
i purchased the Ring Alarm Security Kit 5-piece (2nd-gen) and the Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit as a bundle during Best Buy's on-line Black Friday sales event and had it delivered to my home since i would receive it earlier than if delivered to the store. i wanted to replace the large 30+ year old Radio Shack alarm box but keep the wired doors and windows zones since they still worked and according to what i read, the Retrofit Alarm kit is used to interface existing wired doors and windows zones with the Ring Alarm base. because this review is on the Ring Retrofit Alarm kit and not the bundle i separated the part of my review on the Ring Alarm Security Kit and did it on that item review the Ring Retrofit Alarm kit was easy to mount since it already had holes in the unit for two screws to be used to mount on the wall - i mounted it near to the alarm base station to set up the Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit, i followed the instructions provided by the Ring web site: -> https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036012151-Ring-Retrofit-Alarm-Kit-Installation-Instructions -> if your current alarm panel and wired contacts for the doors and windows still work, then there should be no issues with moving the wires from the panel to the retrofit kit. any wired alarm siren or warning lights cannot be interfaced with the Ring Alarm base. -> follow the instructions about disarming and removing all power from the old alarm -> just remember to keep your wired zones together when you secure them to the retrofit kit terminal - the hole for each terminal is small so if you have multiple windows on the same zone, it would be best to get a terminal block connector so you can connect all the window zone wires to the block and just have one pair of outgoing wires to connect to the retrofit kit terminal -> example of zones and assignment to retrofit kit terminal -> zone 1: front door - terminal 1 and C -> zone 2: back door - terminal 2 and C -> zone 3: all windows - all wires from the windows are connected to a terminal block and only two wires from the terminal block connect to the Retrofit kit terminal 3 and C i downloaded the Ring app from the Apple App Store to my iPhone and iPad -> using the Ring App on my iPad: -> added Retrofit Alarm kit -> to set up the Retrofit Alarm kit and add your zones -> select the Retrofit Alarm, select Zone Settings and select each zone -> once each zone has been added, they are listed under the Sensors group -> you can rename the zone by selecting it and selecting the Device Settings -> if you want a notification when the zone is opened, select OPEN ALERTS -> if you want a notification when the zone is closed, select CLOSED ALERTS -> you will need to enable notifications for the Ring app on your device all in all, i like the Ring Alarm system, how easy it was to set up, how small the Ring Alarm base and Retrofit Alarm kit are when compared to the old Radio Shack alarm box which i removed from the wall after i transferred the wired doors and windows zones to the Retrofit Alarm kit. i like how you get a notification on your device and an audible chime from the alarm base when any zone is opened or closed - all of these are customizable through the Ring app. i would recommend the Ring Alarm Security kit and if you are looking to replace your old working alarm system with working wired zones, then i would recommend the Ring Alarm Retrofit kit (see my review on the Ring Alarm Security kit)

Easy to Install and Simple to Setup
Once you have your zones identified, installation is a breeze. Backwards compatibility made simple. Quality feel with a clean look. I ended up buying a second to cover additional zones. You can add several retrofit kits to your ring pro.
