Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Gen) Wireless Control Pad

The Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Gen) is a wireless control pad that lets you arm, disarm and trigger emergency response for your Ring Alarm system with one-touch convenience.

Compact and redesigned, the Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Gen) serves as a primary control point for your Ring security network. It pairs with your Ring Alarm base station and gives household members an accessible way to change modes, enter passcodes, and press the emergency button when needed. A compatible Ring Protect subscription is required to access professional emergency response features.

How do I use the keypad to arm and disarm my Ring Alarm?

Operation is straightforward: enter your user code or tap the on-screen controls to switch between Home, Away, and Disarmed modes. The keypad communicates wirelessly with the Base Station, so placement near main entryways works best for quick access.

• Numeric touchscreen for secure passcode entry
• Mode buttons for Home, Away, and Disarm
• LED indicators show current system status at a glance
• Battery-backed operation for continued use during power outages

What does the emergency response button do?

The 2nd Gen keypad includes an emergency button designed to quickly request help when pressed. To enable professional dispatch, pair the keypad with a Ring Protect subscription; without a subscription the button can still be used to notify connected Ring devices or household members.

• Single-button access to emergency call actions
• Works with Ring Protect for professional monitoring and dispatch
• Configurable alerts to family members or other Ring users
• Failsafe operation tied to the Base Station and subscription settings

Where should I place the Ring Alarm Keypad for best results?

Install the keypad in a high-traffic, easy-to-reach spot such as beside your primary door, inside a mudroom, or near the hallway. It should be within wireless range of the Base Station but away from sources of heavy interference like large metal objects or thick concrete walls.

• Mount next to main entry doors for quick arming/disarming
• Indoor use: avoid direct exposure to moisture or extreme heat
• Wall or countertop placement options for flexible installation
• Test signal strength from the Ring app before final mounting

How does the keypad integrate with the rest of my Ring system?

The keypad pairs seamlessly with the Ring Alarm Base Station and the Ring app, enabling shared user codes, system mode changes, and synchronized alerts. Household members with access can use the keypad and app interchangeably to manage the alarm system.

• Pairs wirelessly to the Ring Alarm Base Station
• Shared user codes managed through the Ring app settings
• Syncs with notifications and activity history in-app
• Works alongside other Ring devices for coordinated responses

Who is this for: The Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Gen) is designed for households and small properties that want a simple, visible control point for their Ring Alarm system. It's ideal for families, renters, and homeowners who want quick passcode access, easy mode changes, and an on-device emergency option. Buyers who want full professional monitoring or dispatch should pair the keypad with a compatible Ring Protect subscription (sold separately) to enable those services.
