Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
Always ensure you are setting up your devices within 10ft or less from your base station, also do not mount your sensors upside down, it damages the Reed switch, also causing the tamper switch to slide out of place.
I have a question. I live in a townhouse. Do you know how loud it is outside can it possibly be heard through the walls??? I’m seriously considering getting this set up
Hello. Thanks for the great video. Finally getting rid of ADT. I have a question please . I'm gonna have three different pads in three different floors. I need the pad upstairs not to chirp at all when any sensor is opened or closed. And I need the one in the middle and Basement floors to only chirp when certain sensors are opened and closed. Are these options customizable? Thanks so much.
You can program each keypad to turn chirp on or off. As for the sensors, you can program each individual sensor to chirp at the base/keypad, base only, or no chirp. Chirp on keypad and sensors are ON by default. Hope this helps.
I have an older Ring system and it was not convenient for me to search for my iPhone or iPad when the bell rings. That’s why I will probably buy the Google nest system which includes a screen to identify who is at the door in seconds.
The extender is for the Zwave, not a wifi extender as the sensors don't use wifi, so you should use it for better signal strength of the sensors since they include it in the box and all you have to do is plug it in a wall outlet. Monitoring use to be $10 but now $20
This ☝️ also, your residence doesn't seem all that big. The range extender is intended for homes larger than 1500 sq. Ft. The range extender would just be a redundancy and a waste of an outlet.
@@rayzor285 It baffles me how they include a range extender in all of their packs when most people won't have a use for them. It'd be much more useful to include an extra contact sensor instead.
I have 10 ft. ceiling. How high my motion sensor should be that pick up motion of 3 ft from floor, like burglar crawl to go places in house. It sound wierd but like to know height of motion sensor should be from floor??? Yhank you.
It says it will pick up over 50 pounds, so it ignores pets less than 50 pounds so the alarm is not going off. So, you should be fine. My ceilings are also 10-12 feet.
No reason to attach two command strips when you can just drill. No reason to do either when you can just lay it on the floor. No reason not to do both when you can not do both. No reason not to shut up when you talk too much
Thank you! You were very helpful. Your instructions were perfect!

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks
The keypad is supposed to run for about 7 months on a charge. You don't need to leave it plugged in all the time (unless you want to).
@@Tony.Nguyen137 24 hours on battery. But may be less if you have 100 sensors.
Better to have it plugged in one less thing to have charge every few months.
Thanks for the easy vid man
No problem!
Do you need to pay any sort of subscription to get notifications if mention is detected or a door/window is opened?
Base station, keypad,range extender, contact sensor,motion detector and upstairs
Thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍
great video. clear instructions and look forward to using your tips to install my ring alarm. thanks 👍
You didn't need to run the power cable from the keypad... It used to recharge the battery, which lasts a long time.
Thank you for this cuz I didn’t want a wire running through my house
This was great!! Thank you.

10 feet or less from base station? Wow, that's a very small area.

It's very loud!! but you can reduce it in the app..
Got this for $174 at Best Buy. Might as well use the extender since they give it to you, just plug it in a wall outlet.

Are the keypads battery as well? Do they have to be plugged in?
do not need to be plugged in. can be used via battery.
My battery lasted a year before I had to recharge it
Thanks for the vedeo it helped

damn that alarm is loud XD I think more louder then my spotlight cam battery

can you not install that pad? and just use ring base for sensors?
Does this system arm automatically based on our location when we leave the house?
Can someone explain me what Ethernet is ? What’s the difference connecting the base station on an Ethernet ?
Btw very good video! A lot of info! 🙌
An ethernet is a phone cable that comes directly from your router.
@@automatic12ga4 and why would I want to use this way of connection instead of the router ? 🤔
@@MrsLyds a wired connection is always stronger than a wireless as far as I know.
@@MrsLyds most componets are fine using a wireless connection tho
@@automatic12ga4 I seee… thank u so much for the info 💗
The alarm system it’s the same membership with cámara or it’s different memberships
I like your shirt !
Thank you!!!
Ok I will do it when we go to India
will this work with google nest voice control or just amazon??
I’m going to get a ring for my birthday party 🥳
Is it audible when you open the door?
Not super loud, but yes it does
@@BazzarRepairs ok Thanks for the reply
can i use it without any profesional monitoring services (because i am not in US) ? thnx
I believe so
Great video any reason why you decided to hook up your base station with a Ethernet connection. Do you feel it’s better than a wifi connection
Yes, ethernet is always better.
If you unplug it it’s stay on if you want to plug it in it’s fine
Curious. It has a battery that last at least 3 months: why did you wire it?
Sorry, I was talking about the key pad
I thought the same thing. No way I am running those wires all over my wall.
Excellent video!! Thanks much!
Or use gorilla glue 2 sided type.. especially if you live in an apartment...
I would of put the keypad closer to the door moulding so it looks more uniformed!
Is the keypad wireless or does it need to be plugged into wall outlet?
wireless.. charge it and last 1 year
H the best part is it will not work with me because of my heart that you are going through this process
I just bought this system waiting for it to arrive. How do you like it so far? Thanks for your video. 😀
So far it's been great. Been using it every day.
I’m going to have the girls to come to my house to pick them out for dinner tonight I will bring it over there tomorrow
No reason to drill when you can just attach two command strips.
@andya8898 Perhaps he wanted it to be more secure instead of mounting it the lazy less secure way
@@darieanhenderson6926 Nah

@@JWolf-nh9uw No
@@andya8898 I don’t remember asking a question
The game was good but the app was great but the only thing that could do with the iPad version
when did you realize that the keypad doesn't need to be plugged in?
Probably a month ago lol
