Ring Alarm Pro 8-Piece Security Kit

Whole-home security and built-in Wi-Fi 6

Ring makes home security better, easier, and more affordable than ever with this Alarm Pro 8-piece Security Kit. Why pay for professional installation when you can set up Ring Alarm Pro by yourself, in just minutes? This kit comes with everything you need to get started — you don't even need any tools.

The heart of the system is its base station, which doubles as an eero Wi-Fi 6 router. So in addition to affordable home security, you'll be updating your wireless network to speedy, next-generation Wi-Fi 6.

Modular system

Connect the base station to your modem via Ethernet cable to create an easily extendable mesh network. It communicates with the rest of the alarm system's components wirelessly via Z-wave technology as you add them to your system. The base station also provides visual and audio feedback regarding system status changes and events, including user-configurable "chirps" that sound when a device is tripped.

Those trippable devices include motion detectors, contact sensors, and outdoor contact sensors. This kit includes one motion sensor and four contact sensors, but you can add on as many as you need to get the coverage you want. They have a range of 250 feet from the base station, but the included range extender can double that range. Intelligent motion sensitivity reduces false alarms from pets.

The streamlined keypad is intuitive and easy to use. It has clearly marked emergency buttons for police, fire, and medical response (Ring Home plan required for use). It also allows you to arm and disarm the system, bypass certain sensors, or trigger the alarm. It comes with a quick-release wall bracket so it can stay mounted or go with you from room to room.

Monitoring options

You can monitor and control your home's security on your smartphone using the free mobile app. But if you want an extra layer of protection, you can upgrade to a Ring Home paid subscription with Alarm Professional Monitoring or Virtual Security Guard.

When your sensors get tripped, your base station will inform the monitoring center to call the authorities. Cellular backup is included in the plan so that you are still covered if you lose Wi-Fi.

This service is a great option if you are planning to add an optional video doorbell or Ring camera to your system, because it includes cloud storage for unlimited Ring devices at a single location. That allows you to save and share your videos, rather than simply monitoring in real time

The best part? No lengthy contracts and no cancellation fees.

Expandable to fit your needs

If you have a larger home or even just a home with a lot of windows, you might want to consider picking up the 14-piece kit instead. You can also add components individually. If you regularly enter through the garage or back door, it might be convenient to add a second keypad to the system. And you can secure that back door or any especially vulnerable windows with extra contact sensors. And if you've got outdoor gates, doors, or windows, you'll want weatherproof outdoor contact sensors.

If you want to cover a broader area inside your home, pick up an extra motion detector or two. There's also an optional add-on panic button that trips the alarm with one touch.

And don't forget that the built-in Wi-Fi 6 router gives you the ability to expand your home Wi-Fi mesh network with additional eero routers and/or extenders. You can also add up to four power packs to keep your base station running for up to 32 hours when the power goes out.
