Q: QuestionCan these be used outdoors or are they for indoors only?(2 answers)
A: AnswerGood question. I suppose you could but I doubt they’re weatherproof. I think the Ring Cameras would work better for that. Most cameras come with a motion detector built in.Answered by KingShameek
Q: QuestionIs this product a good design for the hearing impaired?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Consentida. Good question. The Ring Alarm Motion Detector is designed to monitor a room or area inside your home for heat and movement. When armed, the Motion Detector will trigger your Ring Alarm when heat and movement are detected.

Q: QuestionI don't have a ring alarm system but can I use this to activate my linked ring lights?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi CallmeMrR. Thank you for your question today! No, the Ring Alarm Motion Detector requires the Ring Alarm Base Station in order to setup to the Ring app and start detecting motion. Although, the Ring Smart Lighting Motion Detector is our Motion detector that's designed to be linked with our Ring lights to activate them with motion. The Ring Smart Lighting Motion Detector is also designed for outdoor use. The Ring Smart Lighting Motion detector does require a bridge device in order to setup and link with your Ring lights.

- A: AnswerHi Mounting. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us with your question. We do not recommend using screws to mount the Ring Alarm Motion Detector as it can inhibit the performance of the device. For optimal performance, we advise peeling the tape from the adhesive pads and adhearing the device to a clean and dry wall, 7-8 feet from the ground.

- A: AnswerHi Matt. Thanks for asking. The Ring Alarm Motion Detector (2nd Gen) does not have a mounting bracket. Mounting tape can be found on the back of the detector. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry before peeling the backing off of the adhesive strip. Visit our support center for more information on setting up and installing your motion detector.

Q: QuestionCan you connect this sensor to an Alexa without buying the security hub?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi 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.
