The Ring Protect security system is Ring’s entry into the DIY security solution space intended to provide customers with a Ring-branded, unique and simplified home security system. Ring Protect features a Z-Wave door/window contact sensor which will be used as a primary intrusion detection unit in the system. The door/window will be included in the professionally monitored alarm system. Additionally, the sensor’s functionality will be extended to the automation features of the Ring Protect solution.
Will it keep working?
It works locally over Z-Wave, so it keeps running even if Ring shuts down the app or the servers. One thing to note: some features need a cloud subscription — the basics still work locally.
