Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 6-Pack (2nd Gen) –Review

Know When a Door or Window Opens—Even When You’re Away

It can be tricky to keep track of all the ways into your home, especially if you have more than one door, window, or room to keep an eye on. Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 6-Pack (2nd Gen) gives you peace of mind by helping you monitor important entry points through a connected home security system.
This package includes 6 contact sensors, which allows you to monitor up to 6 doors or windows. Every sensor is designed to help your Ring Alarm system detect when an entry point opens, whether you’re checking the front entrance, back door, patio door or frequently used windows.
One of the biggest benefits is the slim, compact design. The second generation sensors are smaller than the first generation and can be more easily fitted onto compatible window and door frames. Installation is also easy, requiring no tools for the standard mount process.
The sensors boast a battery life of approximately three years, meaning you won’t have to replace the batteries too often. Battery life will be affected by use and environmental conditions.
There are a couple of limitations to be aware of. These sensors need a Ring Alarm Base Station to function and cannot be used as a stand-alone security system. Instant mobile alerts are another subscription service mentioned in the product listing. Contact sensors also detect opening and closing and do not provide video footage or identify the person who opened an entry point.

Where Can You Use It?

The six sensors are particularly useful for monitoring:

• Front doors, back doors, and side entrances.

• Patio doors and frequently opened windows.

• Apartment and condominium entry points.

• Home offices, bedrooms, and other interior doors.

• Additional entry points in an existing Ring Alarm setup.

For households already using Ring Alarm, this six-pack provides a convenient way to expand monitoring across more of the property.
