Ring Alarm does work even if your internet connection is down. The system is designed to communicate with you or your monitoring service through the internet via wifi or an Ethernet cable. However, in the event that the Base Station loses its connection to the internet, a cellular backup system is automatically activated to ensure that your home continues to be monitored.
This cellular backup system uses a built-in cellular connection to communicate with the monitoring service. It essentially acts as a backup plan, allowing the system to function even when the internet is unavailable. This is particularly important in situations where your internet service provider experiences an outage or if there are issues with your home network.
One of the advantages of this cellular backup is that it provides an additional layer of reliability and security for your home. It ensures that your monitoring capabilities are not solely dependent on your internet connection, which can be prone to outages or disruptions. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is still being monitored even if there are issues with your internet service.
It’s worth noting that the cellular backup system is seamlessly integrated into the Ring Alarm system, and there is no additional cost or setup required on your part. It is automatically activated when the Base Station detects a loss of internet connectivity.
During my own personal experience with Ring Alarm, I have encountered situations where my internet went down temporarily due to technical issues or maintenance by my internet service provider. However, I was relieved to find that the cellular backup system kicked in seamlessly, ensuring that my home remained protected.
Ring Alarm is designed to continue monitoring your home even if your internet connection is down. The built-in cellular backup system ensures that your home remains protected, providing an extra layer of reliability and security.
