![]() You can also buy a bigger package for $380 (it adds four more door/window sensors, an extra motion detector and another keypad), or you can buy the individual sensors a la carte, expanding the system beyond these basics to include a wide range of Ring cameras, video doorbells, backup power packs, Eero Wi-Fi range extenders and so on. You can opt for just the base station for $250 - but then you won't get all the security sensors that make the system work. If you buy the Ring Alarm Pro system, you'll probably pay $300 to get a router/base device, four door/window sensors, a motion detector, a Z-Wave range extender and a keypad. ![]() In short, the Ring Alarm Pro isn't just a game-changing device for Amazon it's a ground-shaking product for the entire DIY home security market. Ring even offers admirable data security and privacy options if, like me, you're worried about the company's spotty track record when working with police and subsequently degrading community privacy. So if those features aren’t dependent on the Alarm Pro being the main Gateway, then an upgrades seems to be in my near future.Ring Alarm Pro is an affordable system with impressive smarts, lots of flexibility and a rock-solid base that will make most happy. All I’m really seeking is the Ring Edge with Local Video Storage and eero Secure. Knowing tbag I can better make and educated decision as to what path makes most sense for me. ![]() So, minus the 24/7 backup Internet (that I can do without to maintain my Eero Pro 6 as a Gateway), exactly what other “Protect Pro subscription features” will I have to forgo? Using your Alarm Pro as an extender will prevent you from accessing many of the Protect Pro subscription features, including 24/7 Backup Internet. Note: We do not recommend using Ring Alarm Pro as a wifi extender for your existing router. Guess the last thing that I am still not seeing or sure about is based upon what features would not be available if I have a Eero Pro 6 as my Gateway router, and a Ring Alarm Pro with Eero 6 as a the WiFi extender. That is all very good information… Much appreciated. Don’t want to need to start running wires throughout the house which I why I went with the Eero meshed network to begin with. Or at least can’t appropriately interact with another Eero Gateway to still offer full functionality. Don’t really see or understand why it needs to be the main router. So exactly what features would be missing? Least I can then determine exactly how important those features are. Hence another reason why I would prefer avoiding having to define the Alarm Pro as also the main gateway. I have been reading a feature online product reviews and community posts/responses but can’t seem to get a definite answer to a few questions.įirst, is the built in Eero router a Eero Pro 6 or just a Eero 6? I wouldn’t want to downgrade my Gateway from a Pro 6 to just a 6.Īlso, the location of my ISP ONT isn’t suitable as a location for my Alarm Base Station. I currently have a well defined Eero meshed network based upon Eero Pro 6 units, and curious about upgrading my current Ring Alarm system to a Ring Alarm Pro.
