If you have this plan, you will need to upgrade to the Pro plan to get Ring Alarm professional monitoring* for your Ring Alarm system.Ĭlick here for more information about the Ring Protect Plan. The Basic plan only covers a single camera. Does that plan cover Ring Alarm system monitoring?* I signed up for a Ring Protect Basic plan for a single Ring camera. If you’re enrolled in self-monitoring and your alarm is triggered due to fire or carbon monoxide detection, you will only receive alerts that your system alarm has gone off and you will need to take action yourself. As a part of Ring Alarm professional monitoring,* if your alarm is triggered due to fire or carbon monoxide detection, fire rescue will be immediately dispatched. Yes, Ring Alarm can also trigger fire and carbon monoxide alarms but only if you’ve installed a FirstAlert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Alarm. Can it also detect fires and carbon monoxide? I see that the Ring Alarm system can act as a burglar alarm and an intruder detection system. The Base Station is necessary for the Ring Alarm to function.
