Recommended monthly maintenance for Ring Alarm at your business

We recommend that those using Ring Alarm for security perform this 4-step monthly maintenance routine.

Step 1: Inspect

Walk around your property and check on the state of your Ring Alarm, cameras and doorbells.

  • Do all Ring security devices appear to be securely attached?
  • Does it look like any devices have been tampered with or moved?
  • Are there any areas around your property that need additional coverage?

Step 2: Check the battery level

Open your Ring app and check that each device has plenty of battery life and doesn't require any attention. If your property gets a lot of traffic, you may need to recharge and replace batteries more often.

  • Recharge any Ring Doorbell and camera batteries if needed.
  • Replace any low batteries in Ring Alarm Contact Sensors and other devices.
  • Use the Help Content tile on each device details page within the app to access troubleshooting tips if needed.
  • If any firmware updates are available, think about scheduling these updates during times when your Ring Alarm will be disarmed.

Step 3: Check you emergency contact list

Check that your emergency contact list is up to date. If any contacts are no longer working with you, or move away, change them to new contacts who can be available to help in an emergency. To review and update your emergency contacts:

  1. Open the Ring app to the main dashboard.

  2. Tap the menu (☰).

  3. Tap Settings.

  4. Tap
    Monitoring
    , and select
    Emergency Contacts
    .
  5. Tap on
    Primary Contact
    , as well as first, second, and third contacts to review the names and phone numbers, and update as needed.
