#Ring alarm vs pro code

For $10 a month (or $100 a year if paid up front), you get the benefits of dispatchers on standby, and this includes video storage for any Ring cameras you might have. Ring's professional monitoring is through Rapid Response Monitoring Services, and it's one of the more affordable services available. It also gives you time to register the alarm so that you do not incur any fees. As a reviewer - and a person who has tripped countless alarms in the last few months - I also appreciate that there's a seven-day trial period before professional monitoring becomes active, so you can take time to set up the system without worrying about false alarms. If you choose to have professional monitoring, you'll need to also come up with a verbal password to help identify you in case you have to talk to a dispatcher.

When it's time to pair the keypad, the Ring app will have you create a four-digit PIN for arming and disarming the system. If it’s the back door that's opened in this mode, the alarm will sound immediately. If it's an entry sensor you're installing, Ring will ask what kind of door it is to apply the right sort of security to it - if it's your front door, for instance, it will use an entry countdown when you open the door while the base station is in Home and armed mode. Ring provides suggestions, but you can edit as you see fit. From there, you can name each device and assign it to a room.

On each device is a bar code after scanning the code into the Ring app, pull out a battery tab on the accessory (or plug it in) to turn it on, and the Ring app will immediately recognize it.
