Professional monitoring for Ring Alarm includes burglary and intrusion, SOS, Panic and Duress (also known as a silent alarm).
If you add additional devices, you can also get professional monitoring for smoke, carbon monoxide, water/flooding, cold temperatures, and audible glassbreak detection using Alexa Guard. There is no extra charge for these professional monitoring services when you add the required devices to your Ring Alarm.
Your Ring Alarm Kit comes with contact and motion sensors for burglary and intrusion. The Keypad (2nd Gen) and the SOS feature in your Ring App can be used to request police, fire and medical response anytime you need it.
Add a Panic Button and you can instantly sound the siren and request emergency response with the touch of a button. Use it in a bedroom, garage or anywhere that gives you peace of mind.
Protect your home from water and freezing temperatures by adding a Flood and Freeze Sensor for water and cold detection where you need it most. With professional monitoring, you can even get automated phone calls whenever the sensor detects water, cold temperatures, or both.
Add a Smoke & CO Listener to your existing hardwired or battery-operated smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for professional fire monitoring that can help save lives. You can use your Amazon Echo with Alexa Guard to get an extra layer of protection.
Simply enable Alexa Guard and link it to your Ring Alarm. If Alexa detects glass breaking or a smoke or CO alarm while armed, you will get an Alexa alert that you can use to trigger your Ring Alarm and request emergency response.
Yes, you can get professional monitoring for your business. Professional monitoring for businesses is slightly different from the residential service, because Ring cannot offer smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring at businesses due to strict local regulations.
However, we do offer professional monitoring for burglary/intrusion, SOS, Duress and Panic alarms.
