The Ring Alarm base station that uses Z Wave<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nTo better your understanding of how the Ring Alarm System<\/a> functions, let me break down the components of this home security system. At a minimum, the alarm is made up of four components as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Base Station<\/strong>\u2014it\u2019s the central hub that connects your entire Ring Alarm system. In other words, it\u2019s the brain of your Ring alarm system that keeps it online as well as connected to your devices.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Contact Sensors and motion detectors<\/strong>\u2014Several sensors and detectors form part of the Ring alarm system. The sensors are built to sense whenever someone comes into contact with your doors and windows and send you an alert as soon as they do while trying to break in. Motion detectors, on the other hand, are intended to detect animate motion in and outside of your property and notify you through the Ring App.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Keypad<\/strong>\u2014Characterized by a set of buttons bearing digits and symbols, it\u2019s the input device that lets you input data into your alarm system to control, arm, and disarm it. This is placed indoors.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Range Extender<\/strong>\u2014Just as the name suggests, it helps extend the signal from your Base Station to all your Ring alarm system components and other devices that are integrated with it e.g the cameras.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Ring alarm system works by using these sensors and detectors to sense and\/or detect whenever a potential burglar comes close to your window or door before breaking in. The sensors and detectors will send you an alert as soon as they pick a signal so that you\u2019ll be aware by the time that person attempts to get into your house. You might then call the cops if you receive a warning alert from your alarm system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beauty of the Ring alarm system is that it supports Ring cameras<\/a> among other home security cameras. That means you can pair it with your cameras and it will trigger the cameras to record any intrusion event that may occur in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe recorded videos can go a long way in helping the police to carry out investigations and track down the suspect(s).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding Wireless Jammers<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\nWireless jammers<\/a> are dangerous devices that every Ring alarm system user should be worried about. That\u2019s because they can effectively jam the Ring alarm system, rendering it useless<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey jam susceptible wireless devices by polluting wireless signals with all kinds of wireless noise on specific bands. Here, I\u2019m talking about certain bands that wireless networks such as Bluetooth and WiFi<\/a> rely upon e.g band 2.4GHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis effectively blocks the wireless signal from reaching your Ring devices that need it to stay connected online. As such, the communication between them disappears, causing your Ring alarm system to jam.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The worst part is that wireless jammers are fairly cheap to acquire with as little as $10. This means any smart burglar can buy one and use it to jam your Ring alarm system. Fortunately, there\u2019s a way in which you can make your alarm system non-susceptible to cheap jammers. However, be ready to lose some functionalities of your alarm system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, even though your Base Station will lose its functionality, meaning the detectors and sensors won\u2019t be able to work, your Ring alarm system will still be able to work offline with the ability to sound a siren if someone attempts to break your door or window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is confirmed on the Ring support page<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nNote: If the Base Station goes offline, you will be unable to access or control your devices through the app, but your device will remain armed, and the Ring Alarm siren will still function<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\nRing Support Pages<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nIn addition, if you connect your Base Station to your router via an Ethernet cable<\/a>, it won’t be affected by Wi-Fi jamming attacks<\/strong>. After all, it has a direct, physical connection to your home’s internet – allowing it to mainly bypass jamming attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAre There Smart Home Alarm Systems with Anti-Jamming Protection?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
