description Ring Alarm Pro Overview
Home security and Wi-Fi networking share a base station in Ring Alarm Pro. The system combines Ring's DIY alarm platform with a built-in eero router, allowing compatible sensors and Ring cameras to become part of a broader home setup. App controls support everyday operation, and professional monitoring is available through eligible services. This combination gives it a different role from an alarm hub that only manages security sensors.
Alarm Pro particularly suits households already using Ring or Amazon-connected devices and willing to manage security alongside their home network. Optional cellular internet backup can maintain a connection when the main internet service fails. Keeping Wi-Fi internet running through a power outage also requires the appropriate external backup power, rather than cellular service alone. Subscription eligibility and separately purchased accessories therefore matter when deciding which backup functions a particular installation will provide.
help Ring Alarm Pro FAQ
Does the Ring Alarm Pro include a built-in Wi-Fi router?
Yes, the Ring Alarm Pro integrates an Eero Wi-Fi 6 router directly into the base station, combining home security and mesh networking in a single device. This allows it to replace a standalone Eero router while also providing security monitoring.
Does the Ring Alarm Pro work during a power or internet outage?
The Ring Alarm Pro includes built-in battery backup for temporary power outages. With a Ring Protect Pro subscription, it can also use cellular LTE backup to maintain security monitoring and, with the optional Ring Alarm Cellular Backup, provide basic internet connectivity.
Do I need a Ring Protect Pro subscription for the Alarm Pro to function?
The Alarm Pro works as a local alarm system without any subscription, including the Eero router functionality. Ring Protect Pro, which costs around $20 per month, adds professional monitoring, cellular backup, extended Eero features, and cloud video storage for Ring cameras.
What sensors and devices are compatible with the Ring Alarm Pro?
The Ring Alarm Pro is compatible with Ring contact sensors, motion detectors, flood and freeze sensors, and smoke and CO listeners that come in the same product line. It also supports select third-party Z-Wave devices, similar to the standard Ring Alarm (2nd generation) base station.
