Can the system operate completely over Wi-Fi without Ethernet cables?
Yes, the Base Station can connect to your home network via Wi-Fi through the Ring app, so Ethernet cables are not strictly required for operation.
Is there an indoor siren linked to the door and window sensors?
Yes, the system includes an indoor siren that activates when the contact sensors on doors or windows are triggered while the alarm is armed.
How sensitive is the motion detector and can it be adjusted?
The motion detector's sensitivity is adjustable via the Ring app. At maximum sensitivity, the detection range is approximately 30 feet (around 9 metres). You can lower the sensitivity to reduce the range and help avoid false triggers.
Can I arm and disarm the system remotely?

What is the wireless range between the keypad and the sensors?
The control keypad can communicate with the sensors from up to 250 feet (approximately 76 metres) away in open space, though walls and obstacles may reduce this range.
Is the motion detection pet-friendly?
Yes, the system includes smart motion detection settings that allow you to calibrate the sensitivity to ignore pets of certain sizes, helping to prevent false alarms while still detecting intruders.
What is included in the box with the kit?
The kit includes a Base Station, a Keypad, two Contact Sensors for doors/windows, one Motion Detector, power adapters, mounting hardware, and the necessary documentation for setup.
