5. Having trouble?
Here’s some answers...
Is there anything I need to
complete setup that isn’t in
the box?
Nope! Everything you need to get
started with Ring Protect is included in
your kit.
Do I need two accounts for
my Ring camera and Ring
Protect?
No, you don’t need separate accounts
for your Ring cameras and Ring Protect.
Your current account will work for both.
If I have a Ring Protect
subscription, are all my
Locations covered?
No. You will need a Ring Protect Plan
for each Location if you want advanced
features such as professional security
monitoring.
Do I need a monthly plan if
I want professional security
monitoring?
Yes. The monthly plan includes
professional security monitoring and
cloud video storage. If you want to be
monitored, that’s the plan you should
choose.

I see more than one base
station. Which one is mine?
When the base stations appear in the
list, the last four digits of the base
station’s MAC address will appear
underneath their name. Find the one
that matches yours.
I don’t see my Wi-Fi in the list.
If you don’t see your Wi-Fi network in
the list, you can still connect to it. Tap
Add Hidden Network, then enter your
Network Name and password.
Can I change my Wi-Fi later?
Yes, you can change your base station’s
Wi-Fi network at any time.
Where should I place my
range extender?
Plug the range extender into an outlet
between the base station and the
farthest device. This allows your base
station to talk to the device more easily.
Should I place my motion
detector in a corner or a wall?
Place it where it will have the best view
of the area you want to cover. The
motion detector should have a clear,
unobstructed view of the area. Many
people prefer a corner, but don’t be
afraid to place it on a wall.
How high o the ground
should I place my motion
detector?
The detector should be about 7’ above
ground level. This keeps it out of the way
of pets, kids, and accidental bumps.
I skipped Monitoring setup.
Can I finish the setup later?
Yes, you can come back to the
Monitoring setup later. To access the
Monitoring setup, open the menu, then
tap Settings.

What does the base station’s
cellular radio do?
The cellular radio allows your base
station to send alarm signals to the
monitoring center if the usual internet
connection isn’t working. Hopefully you
won’t need it, but it’s there if you do.
What happens if the power
goes out?
Your base station comes with a battery
backup that will last up to 24 hours
depending on usage. When your base
station is running on battery, only a
limited set of features will be available,
but your home will still be monitored.
Can I add more devices to
my Ring Protect?
Yes! You can find a list of all the devices
we support by tapping Add (+) on the
Device List. Follow the instructions to
add a device.
Do I ever need to remove the
base station’s battery?
No. The base station’s battery does not
need to be removed at any time.
My base station isn’t working.
Can I reset it and try again?
Yes. Use a pin to press the Reset button
on the base station for twenty seconds.
This will factory reset your base station.
