Product Information

Full details

The Ring Alarm Motion Detector (2nd Generation) is an essential security component for homeowners already invested in the Ring Alarm ecosystem who want to monitor interior spaces for unauthorized movement. Its primary benefit is the combination of easy wireless installation and reliable, precise motion sensing that integrates seamlessly with the Ring app to provide real-time alerts. A key caveat for users is that this device requires an existing Ring Alarm Base Station to function and cannot operate as a standalone security camera or motion sensor.

Ensure the device is within range of the Base Station and remove the battery to power cycle the sensor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Open the Ring app and tap 'Set Up a Device'.
Select 'Security Devices' and choose 'Motion Detector'.
Follow the in-app instructions to scan the QR code located on the device.
Pull the battery tab to power on the sensor.
Use the included adhesive tape or screws to mount the device 7 feet high for optimal coverage.
