Ring Alarm Motion Detector (2nd Generation)

Q: 1) What is it and what does it work with?

Ring’s Motion Detector (2nd Gen) is a battery-powered PIR motion sensor for Ring Alarm systems. It connects to the Alarm Base Station over Z-Wave and triggers your alarm or sends alerts when motion is detected. It does not pair to Ring doorbells/cameras directly.

Q: 3) Is it indoor or outdoor?

It’s designed for indoor use only. Install away from heat sources, windows with direct sun, or moving airflow to reduce false alarms.

Q: 4) What batteries does it use and how long do they last?

Power is 2× AA 1.5V batteries. Typical life varies with motion activity and signal strength; the Ring app will notify you when they need replacing.

Q: 5) How high should I mount it, and can I corner-mount?

Ring suggests mounting about 7 ft 6 in (2.3 m) high. You can mount flat on a wall or in a corner; the included bracket/adhesive make either easy.

Q: 6) Does it have pet immunity? How big can my pet be?

Yes—Pet Mode reduces alerts from small pets when installed correctly. Guidance commonly targets smaller pets (up to ~15 kg / 33 lb) and proper height/angle to avoid looking directly at stairways/furniture animals climb. Always test your room after installation.

Q: 7) What’s the detection area like?

It uses a wide-angle PIR suited to rooms and hallways. For best results, place it so people walk across the sensor’s view (not straight toward it), and avoid pointing at windows/heat sources.

Q: 9) How do I set it up?

In the Ring app, go to Set Up a Device → Security → Sensors, scan the QR code on the sensor, pull the battery tab, and follow the prompts. Use the included adhesive or screws to mount.

Q: 10) What’s the wireless range to my Base Station?

It uses Z-Wave; practical range depends on walls and interference. Ring quotes long line-of-sight range for Alarm components, and you can add a Ring Range Extender to cover bigger homes.

It uses a wide-angle PIR suited to rooms and hallways. For best results, place it so people walk across the sensor’s view (not straight toward it), and avoid pointing at windows/heat sources.

8) How do I reduce false alarms?

Mount at the recommended height, aim across expected movement, keep away from vents/windows, and use Pet Mode / Motion Sensitivity in the Ring app. Re-test after furniture changes.

9) How do I set it up?

In the Ring app, go to Set Up a Device → Security → Sensors, scan the QR code on the sensor, pull the battery tab, and follow the prompts. Use the included adhesive or screws to mount.

Yes—configure motion responses per Mode (Home/Away/Disarmed) and Bypass individual sensors as needed in the Ring app.

12) Does it have tamper detection?

Yes. Removing the cover/bracket triggers a tamper event you’ll see in the app and, depending on settings, during arming.

13) How do I reset or re-add it if I change my network/Base Station?

Use the Ring app’s Remove/Factory Reset flow for the sensor, then re-add it like new. If needed, follow the support steps for a manual reset and re-inclusion.
