Ok I just ordered this but im sorry if this is a stupid question but if im out of town n somebody breaks in .. im responsible to contact police right ?

[hampton-roads-bus-guy]

i wonder if ring headquarters protects their building with ring alarm

[MrVisionDoctor]

Is the contact sensor waterproof? As in UK the windows open to outside. So if I open the window and it rains, I am worried the sensor will be ruined.

What if you have door trim that isn't flat, therefore providing less surface area to stick to? Can sensors be screwed down?

I bought a ring kit at Amazon. I acquired approx. 9 contact sensors, 6 of them for my windows. My window frames (lip) are approx 5/8" but, ring's contact sensor width is 1" or 1-1/8". The only part of the window where I can stick the sensor, half of each part of the back (sticky part) of the sensor will have no contact. I'm concerned the sensor will not last and will eventually fall off the window frame. Suggestions, please.

Since there is not other color than white sensors, can I paint them? All my window frames are black. What is the best approach to paint them? Spray paint? Will the sensors still work?

[keybtx]

Do I have to use all of the sensors or can I add them later

[WealthisoftheMind]

How sturdy is that adhesive? I'd be scared that with continued use, it may weaken.

Hello, can the sensors work by themselves? Or do they require the hub also be installed for them to work ? Thank you

[junhakguy]

What if i misplaced the contact sensor, is there a correct way to remove it and replace it elsewhere without damaging? I have tried and have gotten tamper alerts on my phone.

The problem with the window sensors is they don't go off if the top of the window is opened. That's just as much space for a bad guy as if he opened it from the bottom. The sensor should go between the top and bottom in the middle, but the smaller sensor is too big to fit there on most windows.

Do you have to buy the home base or do they work without it?

[joshkruckow]

What to use to clean wall where the sensor will go?

[mssburr]

my door frame is not flush like that.. So this will not work for most from and back doorframes that normally has a lip that stick out from the door a bit.

[British-AL-UK]

My worry is how good the stickers are, will they fall off over time, is it better to screw up?

[aka.smillz]

Is there a way to temporarily silence the alert sent to the home console when entering the home?

[sherfithasan]

Can the sensor be mounted horizontally on doors / windows? Any issues with having the sensor on the actual door frame and the magnet on the door itself?

[frenis]

Is there a video that shows what the mounting bracket and mounting spacers are for or how they are to be used? What if your door frame is not flush with the door but sticks out more than 1/2 inch from the surface of the door? Will the sensor still work properly?

[MustangCoastie]

You don't necessarily have to place them near the top outside corner of the door, do you? I understand this will be the part of the door that will most the furthest the quickest. Hmm.. just thinking may look better and not as noticeable if it's closer to the hinges?

[wilguerrero]

How well will it work with a sliding door?
