Hi I’m from uk and I’m an alarm enthusiast does this work on a uk panel?
Ring alarm do you have Base system doorbell and chime keypad and one door sensor
Will this work with my existing keypad?
Does this only work off batteries or can I plug it into power, I have an outlet that has battery back up I'd like to use. Or can it use the existing 12 volt DC that is available in the security box. I am looking to avoid battery anything.
Hey neighbor, we appreciate your interest in Ring! The Ring Alarm Retrofit Kit does need to have the supplied batteries installed - learn more here: support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032456492-Welcome-to-the-Ring-Retrofit-Alarm-Kit. Rest assured, the average battery life for the 2 x 3V Lithium CR123A is 3 years. Let us know if you have any more questions.
Hi. I have an exiting ADT system and just purchased the Ring system to replace it. I'd like use the Retrofit Kit to use the hardwired sensors since the Gen 2 contact sensors won't work on our doors that open out. When we cancel our ADT will they remove all their equipment including the alarm panel?
Hey Gerri, we are thrilled to hear you are adding a Ring security system. For your question regarding your existing alarm system, please reach out to your current provider for information on your current equipment.
Depends on your contract. if you have a lease or lease to own. Mine It was 3 years. After 3 years you don't have to surrender your alarm since you PAID already for the installation. If you have for more than the time you signed for I would cancel and when they call saying they need to remove, tell them ok and let they know they need to patch and paint every hole they had made at your house. Just a note!. It will cost more to dispatch a technician and make them to remove all the alarm, sensors, cables then patch, paint and sound proof your windows, doors and holes they made. I hope that helps!
Can you configure a motion detector zone? I have to stand still until my motion detects clear before I can arm the system.

Hi there! Is there a way to connect this retrofit kit to an indoor/outdoor siren?
Ring Retrofit Kit only works with security sensors. It doesn't have any outputs for sirens.
My home is big and I have 20 zones in my first floor. Do I need more than 1 retrofit kit and if so how do I wire them? Thanks
Each retrofit only does 8 zones. So you would need at least 3 for your first floor.
Great question, NintenDad. Each Retrofit Kit supports up to 8 zones. With 20 zones, you will need to connect 3 total kits to your system. Check out this article for detailed installation instructions and other helpful tips: support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032456492-Welcome-to-the-Ring-Retrofit-Alarm-Kit.

nice
Sounds good but from what I'm gathering, it doesn't sound like it's compatible with existing wired motion sensors. A version which can connect to motion sensors too would be more ideal
They Ring motion sensors are fairly inexpensive. Just replace and add the ring motion sensors. You should't have more than 4 in a home.
You would need to have a power source for wired motion sensors. I know some folks that use their old alarm panel wiring to power the ring key panels too. I haven’t researched the entire setup though to see how they completed the job with the power and battery backup back in.
@@nosirrahm i did this today seems to work fine just going to disconnect the adt key pad then uses the existing power to the panel, worked fine
@@adrianhoffman6393 Thank you thank you!!!! ADT goodbye!!!!
@@nosirrahm A motion has 4 conductors. Two for power and two for the signal. Just leave the two power wires hooked to the panel and wire the two signal wires to the Ring kit.
When is this coming to the UK?
Hey there! We don't have any news on the availability of the Retrofit Kit in your area. We appreciate your interest and have passed it along to our team for review.
When self monitoring does the ring Base station still have Cellular back up?
Hi there! Self-monitoring mode will not be affected if your Ring Alarm loses power. Cellular back up will kick in to make sure that you receive alerts when your Alarm System is triggered. If you have any more questions, please let us know.
Hi, my alarm now has multiple contacts for each zone. Will that be able to work on this ?
Hey neighbor, we'd like to learn more about your current alarm setup and ensure we're providing you with accurate information. Please give us a call so we can have a member of our Ring Alarm team assist: ring.com/callus.
Yes, if not already done, you will need to wire them in series, test resistance with the multimeter, and land the series end wires on the ring box and use a single #/c connection.
I received an install mine work beautiful...
I dont have a alarm panel, only the contact wires as my security system was never fully installed. Will this still work?
Hi there! We're unable to guarantee that the Retro Fit Kit will work with your system since there isn't a panel to reference what wires lead to what zones and if the zones are actually set up. If you have any additional questions, thanks for letting us know. We're happy to help.
Tone out and label your wiring
Can I use a wireless sensor with the ring alarm? They are Z- Wave compatible.
Hey Matt! The Ring Alarm Retrofit Kit is designed to connect with wired contact sensors - learn more here: bit.ly/315BsL9. We'll be glad to forward this to our development team as feedback. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
No without the retrofit kit.
@@ring Hey Ring. I would like to know if I can use the ADT rx-7c (just a siren. Positive and negative prones) to the ring alarm. Or will the retrofit be able to use it as a sensor. Unfortunately I dont like the siren sound on ring or any other Z-wave siren and I figure why not use the old one I have for my previous alarm system. Thanks!
Great question! Currently, the only additional siren that will work with the Ring Alarm system is the Dome Siren that is available in the US only. No news to share about further integrations at the moment, and the Retrofit Kit can only be used to monitor pre-existing wired contact sensors and will not allow you to trigger any alarms. We're happy to help if you have any other questions.
Can this be used in the uk
Thanks for asking! The Ring Alarm Retrofit Kit can currently only be used with Ring Alarm devices in the US. We're happy to help if you have any other questions.
I feel lost.

Would this still work without an original panel?
