RING PUTS AN EERO ROUTER HOME PRO

Unlike previous base stations, this one needs to be near your modem or the place your internet connection comes into your home. Inside the base station is a backup battery, which Ring promises can last for up to 24 hours. YouвЂ™ll also find an SD card slot and two Ethernet ports on the back.

It gets power via USB-C, and Ring includes the cord-attached wall plug in the box.

The key feature of the Alarm Pro is that itвЂ™s also an Eero 6 router on top of being an alarm system. ThereвЂ™s an LED ring on the top, which is functional since it displays status. ItвЂ™s a bulky unit that sits as a thick and rounded square white piece of plastic. The main piece of any Ring Alarm system is the base station, and the Alarm ProвЂ™s base station is physically larger than the previous second-gen base station. It brings it in line with other systems and offerings like Wyze, which lets you save files locally, while also making the Alarm Pro a better option for those who have a lot of Ring devices. Adding the ability to save videos locally and to have them processed locally fills in a hole thatвЂ™s been missing from the standard Alarm. How this compares: Ring Alarm Pro is really in a category of its own in that it can be an internet backup - no other security system offers that, and this option integrates directly within Eero. Just note that the internet backup option can get costly quickly when you consider that 3GB comes included with the $20-per-month plan, but each additional GB is another $3. It lets you have a viable backup to keep Wi-Fi on in the event of an outage and lets you save video recordings locally. What you need to know: If youвЂ™re a current Ring Alarm customer, the Alarm Pro is basically just a new base station that will replace your current one. Who this is for: Ring Alarm Pro is for the homeowner or renter who wants added peace of mind in a security system that protects your home and can keep your connection alive when your internet or power goes out.
