A:AnswerYou can operate it all on the App. I have the keypad, and between Alexa, the App and my latest acquisition, the Kwikset 914 deadbolt, I haven't touched the keypad in the longest time. That deadbolt will arm and disarm the alarm, if you set it up that way.
A:AnswerYes,when you go to arm your system and you have a door or window open it will tell you that you have to do a bypass in order to arm your system and for me I just look at my android and it will tell you to click to bypass and arm system
A:AnswerWell, it's done on the keypad, so as long as it has a signal, you can do it... also if you do it on the App, you just need internet, (WiFi or Cellular), anywhere in the world.
A:AnswerHi Rbowwo,
No! Ring only has one recording and monitoring plan available that includes Ring Alarm Professional Monitoring: Ring Protect Plus for $10 a month or $100 per year. That plan covers all of Ring's devices at a single Location. If you signed up for that Ring Protect Plan for recording when you purchased a Ring cam or doorbell you will be automatically signed up for Ring Alarm Professional monitoring at no additional charge.

A:AnswerFirst you must buy the Protection Plus plan through the Ring app which is $10 a month or $100 for the year. Next you have to register your alarm via the app. if your Township, Borough , or City requires a permit you must contact your local authorities to see if there's a fee for said permit and enter that per it number in the app. if your town does not need a permit, no problem you can still use it. After a 7-Day trial, The alarms system becomes active and ring will call the Main and Alternate numbers on the account before contacting the police for any alerts.
A:AnswerHi Rosa,
Great question!
As long as your Ring Alarm is located in the United States and online, then you should be able to monitor the device from anywhere. However, please do note that this might vary depending on cell tower signals in South America. I would suggest checking with your phone carrier as it pertains to data usage.
Hope this helps!

A:AnswerHi Deviseproductions,
Great question.
Yes, you can absolutely use our Ring Alarm without the Motion Detectors. However, please do note that at default sensitivity settings, the motion sensor should not pick up pets under 33lbs.

A:AnswerThe base station must stay plugged in. It will run for 24 hours only without power on an internal battery. Mainly there for power failure in the home.
The key pads can run on battery or electricity. The batteries will need to be charged on electric power when they run down. They will probably go for a month or two between charges.
All other devices, motion sensor, contacts, run on battery only. Ring says about 3 years before you need to change the battery that comes in the devices.
A:AnswerHi Z3RO,
Thanks for reaching out.
The Ring Alarm comes with cellular (with a Ring Protect Plus plan) and battery backup systems that kick in if you lose your power or internet connection. The backup battery is good for about 24 hours of operation.
Thanks,

A:AnswerCameras don’t integrate with the alarm base. However, the alarm system and cameras do integrate in the app. If camera pings you and you see something is amiss then you can activate the alarm remotely from the app.
A:AnswerThe keypad is mounted to a little slide in bracket, so you can slide it out. It comes with the cord, to run or charge it. Fully charged the keypad runs for several months. I can’t remember how many but I’m thinking 6
A:AnswerThe contact sensors only trigger if they are separated as if a door or window is opened. For a break in you would want the motion sensor. The motion sensor does not know you from a burglar so set the alarm for "home" when you are home and "away" when you leave.
A:AnswerThe batteries last me about 6 months up to almost 10 months. Depends on the usage of going in and out of the doors. The batteries are AAA batteries, easy to change.
A:AnswerYou sure can.
You can add any // as many devices st any time. There isn’t any additional charges if you monitor, the monitoring includes all devices.
A:AnswerYou would need a first alert smoke detector that links to Ring. The alarm system doesnt contact police or fire. It contacts the alarm company who in turn calls you first. If no answer, then they call police or fire.
A:AnswerYou want to set the motion detector at least 6-8 feet off the ground, I have not figured out what the range of motion distance yet is either tho
