Q: QuestionHow far away can these work? If I have my alarm base at home, can I set these in my rental guest home two miles away? I want to be able to monitor movement when there are no active guests

Asked 8 months ago by Vlsar.

• A:Answer I would think so. The thing we like about our Ring Pro system is it can be self monitored when we are away from home. You get sensor trigger notices and you can view all cameras on the system from your phone or tablet.

Q: QuestionCan the motion sensor be mounted onto the wall using screws? If not, does Ring sell a mounting bracket that can be screwed onto the wall for the motion sensor? I read quite a few reviews on Amazon of people complaining about the mounting tape wearing off

Asked 1 year ago by Matt.

• A:Answer Yes, you can mount with screws, but they are not provided. The portion that adheres to the wall has holes for mounting screws. You will just have to buy them separately at Home Depot or a hardware store.

Q: QuestionCan you connect this sensor to an Alexa without buying the security hub?

Asked 2 years ago by dizzy.

• A:Answer Hi dizzy. Thank you for asking. A Ring base station is required in order to use the Ring Alarm Motion Detector. The Base Station connects all your Ring Alarm security devices, Ring Video Doorbells, Security Cameras, and other smart devices. It monitors your sensors in order to trigger break-in or fire alarms while supporting cellular and battery backup if your internet or power go out.

Q: QuestionWill these trigger the alarm if the glass is broken, but the door is not opened?

• A:Answer Hello. Good question. No, the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor is not designed to detect breaking glass. However, Ring Alarm does have a glass break sensor available (sold separately). The Ring Alarm Glass Break sensor monitors glass windows and doors for break-in attempts. Using AI technology, the sensor detects the sound of glass breaking up to 25 feet.

• A:Answer Hi KSC2023. Good question. Yes, the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Gen) can be installed using the included mounting tape or screws and anchors. The contact sensor is made up of two parts: the sensor and the magnet. One part should be mounted on the door or window, the other on the trim. It doesn't matter which one goes where.

Q: QuestionCan I receive a notification on my phone every time the door is opened, or does the system have to be "armed"? I am wanting a simple chime and phone notification anytime the back door is opened to protect my pool. Is this product a good option?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Ring - Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Gen) (2-Pack) - White

• A:Answer You can. By default, the base station and keypads will chime when the sensor activates (in this case, when the door opens). In the settings on the app, you can set phone alerts for door opening or closing. If you set this, you will get a phone alert within a couple of seconds of the sensor activating, telling you the date and time the door was opened.
