About the Ring Alarm Motion Detector (2nd Generation)

Cover all the angles
Whether you started with the 5-piece kit or the 8-piece kit, your Ring Alarm only came with one motion detector. If you've got more than one room in your home you want to monitor, you can pick up additional motion detectors in packs of one or two. Then you'll get real-time security alerts on your mobile device whenever motion is detected indoors. Whether you're asleep upstairs or across town, you'll be able to see which detector was triggered in the Ring mobile app. Depending on your system settings, motion can also trigger an alarm siren from your base station.
That blaring siren might be enough to scare off an intruder, but if you have a Ring Protect Plus plan, you'll also have 24/7 backup. The monitoring center will contact you when a motion detector is triggered. If they can't reach you or the other listed emergency contacts, they will dispatch emergency responders to your address.
Avoid false alarms
Motion detectors use passive infrared scanning to detect changes in temperature. Ring has improved the motion detection technology in this second-generation model so that it measures both heat and movement over time in order to help reduce false alarms. Motion settings are adjustable so you can find the sweet spot where your pet no longer triggers the alarm.
Note: Requires Ring Alarm or Ring Alarm Pro. Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories require a subscription for digital notifications, in-app features, digital arming/disarming, and integration with other Ring, Echo, and third party products.

Features
Overview: The Ring Alarm Motion Detector (2nd generation) keeps an eye on your home while you're away. Whenever motion is detected inside your home, you get an alert on your mobile device through the Ring App. The Motion Detector wirelessly connects to the Base Station via Z-Wave, which has a 250' range. Add Motion Detectors to every room to blanket your home with protection from intruders. The Motion Detector works only with the Ring Alarm Security System.
Mounting: The detector mounts to virtually any flat wall or corner in your home. The included mounting bracket attaches to a flat wall or in room corners using strong 2-sided tape. For best results, the motion detector should be mounted approximately 7.5 feet above the floor. There should be at least 0.5 inches of clearance from the ceiling. It should not be aimed toward heat sources, such as fireplaces or sunny windows to prevent false alarms.
Motion Sensitivity: The Ring Alarm motion detector uses Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) to scan the room. When a warm body passes through the detector's field of view, the change in the heat triggers an alert. The "pet friendly" sensors used in the Ring Motion Detector are calibrated to ignore heat sources from animals 33 pounds and under (under the default setting), resulting in fewer false alerts. You can adjust the sensitivity control in the Device Profile menu of the Ring app or web portal to fine tune the Motion Detector to your household.
Power Requirements: The Motion Detector is powered by two user-replaceable alkaline batteries (included).
