Where to place your devices
Ring Base Station
The Ring Base Station communicates with all
your Ring Alarm devices and with the central
monitoring station. The Base Station works best
when it’s in a central location in your home.
This allows it to easily communicate with your
devices and ensures that the siren can be heard
by everyone.
To install your Ring Base Station:
1. Find an outlet in a central location in your
home.
2. Plug your Base Station into the outlet.
If you find that the Base Station is having trouble
communicating with a distant Ring Alarm device,
you can add a Range Extender to bridge that
gap.
Ring Range Extender
Ring Range Extenders expand your Ring
Alarm network and make sure your devices are
communicating well with the Base Station. The
extender works best when it’s strengthening
the communication with a device that’s far
from your Base Station.
To install your Ring Range Extender:
1. Plug the extender into an outlet between
your Base Station and device.
Ring Motion Detector
Ring Motion Detectors can be installed flat on
a wall, or in a corner. A Motion Detector should
ideally be placed around 7’ above the floor, and it
needs an unobstructed view of the area you want
to cover. Ideally, it should monitor a high-traffic
area that an intruder would be likely to cross.
If possible, avoid pointing the Motion Detector
at a heat source such as a stove, fireplace, or
windows that get direct sun.
Anything that moves in a room with a Motion
Detector may trigger an alarm if the system is in
Away Mode. Here are a few common household
items that can trigger your Motion Detector.
• Unsupervised pets
• Balloons
• Curtains, banners, or plants caught in a draft
• Stacked Items that have the potential to fall
To install the Ring Motion Detector:
1. Remove the bracket from the back of the
detector.
2. Mount the bracket using the included tape
or screws.
3. Place the sensor onto its bracket. It should
snap into place.
