  • QuestionWhat is the difference in this extender and the chime pro extender?

    Asked by User8787.

    • Answer Hello User8787, Great question! The Ring Alarm Range Extender is designed to extend and expand the Ring Base Station’s Z-Wave network, allowing for greater range and network coverage for all Ring Alarm devices at your location. This article details what a Z-Wave network is and how it works in our alarm system devices: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001263166-Understanding-Z-Wave-and-Mesh-Networks. Here is a helpful article elaborating on the Alarm Range Extender, if more information is needed: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028191991-Range-Extender-Help-FAQs. Furthermore, a Ring Chime Pro is a great solution if you want to extend the wireless internet connection to your Ring doorbell or security camera devices. Generally, a single Chime Pro can effectively improve connectivity to your Ring devices in a two to three bedroom home, or if your devices are located close together. For larger homes, with devices located farther apart, you may need to consider purchasing a mesh network system like the eero network. A regular wifi network distributes the wifi signal from a single point, your router. The further the signal has to stretch away from the router, the weaker it becomes. A mesh network has multiple wifi distribution points that keep the wifi signal strong from different distribution points.

  • QuestionI have a pro ring floodlight camera , sensors set a maximum sensitivity, can the motion detector range be increase by adding some other piece of equipment with this floodlight camera?

    Asked by Tda.

    • Answer Hi Tda. Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Yes, Ring devices can work together and perform actions at the same time when an event happens at your location. Device linking lets you set up relationships between your Ring devices so they can work together to better protect you. For example, if one device detects motion, other devices can begin recording video or turn on their lights. You can link Ring Alarm, Ring doorbells, cameras, and smart lighting in the Ring app to perform actions when a ring, motion, or alarm event happens.
