Many of Ring’s devices can be programmed to run off motion detectors. You can set up motion-activated Ring smart lights or pathway lights that get brighter when motion occurs nearby. You can even enjoy more secure mail delivery when you get a mailbox sensor that will alert you the moment you get a parcel or package.

Plus, sensors for security aren’t just about motion detection. Ring also makes sensors that will pick up sounds from smoke detectors or CO monitors and alert you of the issue via your phone. So, even if you’re away from home, you’ll stay aware of potential dangers.

You can also use Ring flood and freeze sensors to look out for possible water damage. Even if you already have a smart leak detector, this sensor will help you pinpoint the problem. Place the sensors under sinks, washers, water heaters, basements or other areas that may flood. Ring sensors can also alert you to temperatures that may damage pipes or other water-based equipment.

Ring alarms can work on their own, in coordination with other devices, such as security cameras or lights, or as aspects of a larger home security system. If you want to start building more comprehensive security around your home, the Ring Alarm Security Kit is a great place to start. Each Ring kit provides different options, including the Ring base station, the Ring contact sensor, the Ring motion sensor, and the Ring door sensor.

If you have a larger home or want more coverage, you can add additional sensors or devices to your system as you wish. Ring components are easy to install and can be controlled from your smartphone. Plus, Ring is compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can use your voice to operate aspects of the system. With a new Ring alarm system, you’ll have more peace of mind when you're at or away from home.
