Don't worry though, these keys need to be held for three seconds before an emergency responder is notified, so it's unlikely you'll be accidentally calling the cops by pressing the wrong button. Those new emergency services buttons, one for Police, one for Fire, and another for Medical Assistance, are the biggest new additions to the keypad and part of the reason for redesigning the key layout. The Ring power brick is 2.5a and I couldn’t find reliable information on other USB outlets on what the output of a single USB port was.2AA for motion sensor, CR2032 for contact sensors The outlet is currently out of stock, but the only reason I went with this particular one is it was rated at 4a. You will need to make a bracket to support the base station in/on the box since the keyholes don’t match with anything, but other than that, everything is from Amazon. In the end I spent about $30, but it’s a clean install. Any chance you could explain how the bracket for hanging the Alarm basestation connects to the outlet wrote: Kudos for solving it and sharing it with the community. Your way is right for you, but wrong for me. My way is right for me and how I want it installed, and I am guessing the OP feels the same way. If I am one of these people, which I am, then I am not going to halfass the install and have wires and cables coming down my wall to an outlet (which doesn’t exist below where I installed the base station). Some also like to be able to visually see that the ring is red or blue indicating the state of arm. To answer your “why?”: some people want the base station centrally located in their home and don’t have a piece of furniture or cabinet to put it on top of. Kudos to you for being able to put the base station where you want it to be, but your post was not the least bit helpful in resolving the OP’s question. Out of sight, out of mind was the objective for me. The power cord and outlet are behind the cabinet as well. I have mine in a recess on top of a wood cabinet, and it’s nearly concealed, and that’s exactly what I wanted. It’s not an object of art you want to show off to friends. Why? Why do you want to see the thing in the first place? Once it’s in operation, you never have to physically access it for any reason. I’m concerned with mounting the Ring Alarm Base Station…I’d like to see any successful mounts of the Base Station that are more elegant than a hole in the wall behind the base station with a power cord sticking out the other side. The aesthetics of a residential alarm system are very, very important and Ring has failed with the base station–and the keypad is just as terrible but at least it can run on a battery, I wrote: You know, they also could have taken the opportunity to make some money by selling some mounting hardware to blend this thing in better. The Ring doorbell models generally already can connect to old-fashioned doorbell wiring so it would then have a direct hardwire connection to the base station for both power and ding-dongs (yes, I said it). So, I have to say this is my biggest disappointment ( I have others) with the Ring alarm so far.Ī much better option would be to allow the base station to receive hard-wired power so I could utilize my existing old-fashioned doorbell’s power. Have you seen the power adapter on this thing? It’s HYUUUGE! I can’t find a recessed outlet it will fit into. I’m guessing it is not even plugged in and they edited the blue circle into the photo. Has anyone successfully figured out how to mount the base station on the wall like in all the Ring advertisements? I’ll attempt to attach the photo I’m talking about.
