Ring Alarm Pro review

Ring Alarm Pro ranks fourth because it does more than any other base station here: it is an alarm hub and an eero Wi-Fi 6 router in one, covering up to 1,500 sq ft. With a compatible Ring subscription it adds alarm cellular backup and 24/7 backup internet, so the alarm and your home network stay online when your internet provider fails. The base station has a 104 dB siren, an internal battery that lasts up to 24 hours in Low Power Mode and local video storage through Ring Edge with a microSD card. It works alongside Ring doorbells and cameras in the same app, and professional monitoring is offered in all 50 states and most of Canada. Ring notes that it does not own its monitoring center. Its US plan prices did not load from our location, so the price check is pending. We compared documented features and published prices.

Who it is for

Ring camera owners who also want a new mesh Wi-Fi router and backup internet in the same box.
