LOL priceless! now I am just going to add it to this app. Easy as pie. Cut away and come back voila! Very common frustration. Just wondering how long it took to actually add them to app. Was it under a day?
@@mackUSA2030 Try scanning the QR code on the back of the device if you have it. It should take around a day to fully charge then it should last a month or two
I Have A ? So You Don't Need The Base Station In Order For This Ring Key Pad To Work All You Need Is Just The Ring Key Pad And That's It ? Please Let Me Know Thanks
@@AdamsReviews I have now found out that the check mark is to “confirm” or “accept” when you get a message that a sensor has gone off line. That way you will be able to “accept” the disabled sensor all while still arming the rest of the system.
It's not really that loud in the keypad but it sounds pretty much the same. Except the second gen is a bit louder because it is two tone like the base station but not too much of a difference.
@Cumbias i dont think so, even a low skilled theif can buy a jammer that can make the sensors useless because they cant transmit that a door has been opened, while a wired one you need to cut the wire wich is at 99% of times inside and inside the wall
@@danieldevlin391 nope it does have an internal battery the same ones found in computer ups also all the cables are inside the wall, dude all you need is a jammer and the wireless alarms are useless
@@stvpls the thing with rig is if u jammed it, it gos off line, if it gos off line the monitoring company pics it up and responds accordingly. So can't speak as to how easy it would be to jam it but wither way it woibe picked up
These panic buttons would call services if you have monitoring but I don't. Fun fact, the Fire button when pressed for 3 seconds actually makes Code 3. The medical button does not sound an alarm.
I just bought the 2nd gen 10 piece for Fathers Day I’m happy I know my husband will love it
Good video. I found it helpful!
You can keep using the old one for the Garage or near the back door
It would be nice to understand how the Ring alarm works with the Echo devices for glass break.
just got the second gen keypad for my master bedroom.. i love the fact that it has the panic buttons should something arise
Yes thats the main reason for my upgrade
Yes it out
Trying to get ring to add a keyfob...would be great addition

How do you get the lights to come on.
Only panic button I need is my shotgun trigger but these work great with Alexa
Would be great if the 3 quick call buttons worked in the uk.
They do
I have a question, what do you consider an ideal location for the base station?
i keep mine in my living room.. it’s in the center of my house
LOL priceless! now I am just going to add it to this app. Easy as pie. Cut away and come back voila! Very common frustration. Just wondering how long it took to actually add them to app. Was it under a day?
Yes obviously 😂
It's very quick. Only like 3-5 minutes for the whole process
How long does it take to fully charge? It’s not working… just says trying to listen to device

You do need a base station its usually included with one of the kits.
What are the keys below the number “7” and below the number “9” for on the Ring keypad?
Below 7 is a X which will cancel if you typed the number wrong and below the 9 is a check mark...I am not sure what that does. I have not used it.

How does the loudness of the siren on the 2nd gen keypad compare to the 1st generation's?
About the same
It's not really that loud in the keypad but it sounds pretty much the same. Except the second gen is a bit louder because it is two tone like the base station but not too much of a difference.
Do you know if the motion sensor on the keypad would trigger an alarm, because the one I bought only has one motion sensor.
I don't think it does from what the website says
I have one and the motion sensor on the keypad does not trigger the alarm regardless of the mode settings.
Will the Gen 1 power block and cord work on the Gen 2 keypad?
Yes they are both micro usb
Do you know who makes the Ring for Amazon? Thanks 😊
Ring was it’s own separate company and was bought out by Amazon
You can still use the old keypads but place them somewhere else. That way you will have 4 keypads.
I may have missed it, but what are the X and check mark for?
incase you type your code wrong it will clear it...and then to enter code.
The X is to clear your code if you typed it wrong. The check is to bypass the sensors if one cannot be armed.
What does the x button do on the keypad?
If you type your code wrong you can hit the x and start over.
Is ther doubled sided tape on the back
no
The biggest con for the 2nd gen keypad is that it is not back-lit like the 1st gen.
Maybe the 3rd gen will bring that needed feature back.
Mine is backlit...even on battery power.
@@AdamsReviews Ok I retract my comment, after I looked into the setting the power save option was on. I turned that off and it lit up. Thank you
How long is the power cord?
6 feet long If you have anymore questions just ask me!
When the new keypad is plugged in and fully charged, does the green light turn off?
Yes until you walk up to it and it will tell you if armed or not.
i dont know how secure it is, its best to have wired security instead of wireless, wireless can be jammed easily
@Cumbias i dont think so, even a low skilled theif can buy a jammer that can make the sensors useless because they cant transmit that a door has been opened, while a wired one you need to cut the wire wich is at 99% of times inside and inside the wall
Wired can be cut or bypassed easily, or the main power can be

Ring has Z wave with two frequencies. This makes it difficult to jam
Push the fire button and see if it really works
Great idea!
Tech Reviews and More! Has ring called you before when your alarm went off?
@@CarsonReed7 No it has never gone off.

I would keep the keypad plugged in all the time.
I got this because it does not have to be plugged in - charge lasts for months.
It will go bad if left plugged in constantly per Ring. The battery needs to be discharged periodically.
can i have your old keypad pleaseeeeeeeeeeee lol.
