If you subscribe to a Ring Protect Pro plan, the Alarm Pro will use its cellular radio to maintain internet connectivity for the system and connected devices in the event of a power loss. You can connect up to four power packs at a time for a total of 32 hours of backup power. If that’s not enough auxiliary juice, you can purchase a Ring Power Pack ($129.99) that gives you an additional eight hours of power (depending on use). The base station contains a very loud 104dB siren and a battery backup that provides power for up to 24 hours in the event of an outage. The dual-band router has a maximum data rate of up to 900Mbps and can cover up to 1,500 square feet each extender adds 1,500 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage.

Most importantly, it houses an Eero Wi-Fi 6 mesh router that you can use to create a whole-home network along with Eero 6 Extenders ($89 each). It has Bluetooth, cellular, RF, and Z-Wave radios. The base station packs a lot of wireless circuitry.

The card slot is for the Ring Edge feature (which requires a Ring Protect subscription) that lets you store and process video recordings locally rather than in the cloud. The bottom has four rubber feet for desktop placement and two slots for mounting the unit on a wall. The rear of the base station houses internet and power indicators, two gigabit Ethernet ports (WAN and LAN), a USB power port, a micro SD card slot (Ring provides a 64GB microSD card), a pairing button, and a reset button. The smaller router LED glows white when an internet connection is available and red when it loses connectivity.

The LED ring flashes blue when the base is in Bluetooth pairing mode, stays solid blue when the system is disarmed, and is solid red when the system is armed in Home or Away mode. An LED ring and speaker sit on the top, along with a smaller LED for the embedded Eero router. Its white enclosure measures 2.7 by 6.7 by 6.7 inches (HWD). For larger homes, the 14-piece system ($379.99) bundles the base station, eight door or windows sensors, two motion sensors, two keypads, and one range extender. We tested the eight-piece system that costs $299.99 the package includes the base station, four door or window sensors, a motion sensor, a keypad, and a range extender. You can purchase the Ring Alarm Pro as a complete system or get the base station ($249.99) and sensors you need separately. If you also need a new router, the Ring Alarm Pro is your best bet. You need to subscribe to a Ring Protect plan to take advantage of the system’s most advanced features, but that doesn’t prevent it from earning our Editors’ Choice award for DIY smart home security systems alongside the Adobe Iota, SimpliSafe Home Security System, and Wyze Home Monitoring. It works with other Ring devices and lots of third-party options, and functions as an excellent backup power and internet connectivity solution.

The new Ring Alarm Pro ($299.99 as tested) offers more of the same, but now has a built-in Eero mesh router that can bring Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to all corners of your home, offering good value for its higher starting price. We gave the Ring Alarm Security Kit ($199.99) high marks for its easy installation, affordable monitoring options, and cross-platform compatibility.
