Q: Can I install it at the back of the mailbox instead of the door?
A: Yes, that’s exactly what I did. I wasn’t comfortable with it on the door. I mounted it on the very back. It’s basically hidden and fully protected from the weather as it would be exposed to the weather upon opening the door. It works perfectly and activates every time upon opening the door. It senses the motion of the door opening.
Q: What is the range on the device, like how far away can it work?
A: It comes with a small paddle antenna that helps with distance. I’ve used one with no antenna for 20-25ft. With the it will probably get double that as the antenna connects with a cable and is mounted outside and facing towards your access points.
A: Hi GeorgeD. Great question! Yes, the Ring Mailbox Sensor is a part of the Ring Smart Lighting System and requires a Ring bridge in order to notify you of your mailbox being opened. The Ring Mailbox Sensor is a wireless, battery-powered motion sensor that tells you when your mailbox is opened. The Ring Mailbox Sensor works with your Ring app and sends notifications to a smart phone or any Alexa-enabled device when the device detects motion. With Linked Devices, the Ring Mailbox Sensor can be set to trigger Ring Doorbells and Cameras to begin recording, or Smart Lighting can be set to illuminate as soon as motion is detected at your mailbox.

Q: Is there a monthly charge to use this product once installed
A: yes 33 dollars a year unless you have multiple ring devices then its 100 dollars a year.

Please note that the Ring Mailbox Sensor does not contain the Ring Bridge, which is necessary for all smart functionalities featured in the Ring app, such as mobile notifications, customizable settings, and the ability to connect to other compatible Ring and Alexa-enabled devices.

Q: My mailbox is about 250 feet away from my house. Will it work at this distance?
A: From where I've read it maximum distance is 25 ft
Q: Will motion from this sound the ring alarm if the alarm is set to home or away?
A: Hello DCSLIM, No, if this device detects motion it will send you a push notification via the Ring App but will not trigger the Ring Alarm. -Jamila
