Ring Alarm 2nd Generation Review - 2020 Keypad, Contact Sensor, Motion Detector & Range Extender

Today, we are going to check out the new 2nd generation alarm devices from Ring in 2020. Not all the components got the refreshed look but Ring released the 2nd generation keypad which badly needs it because a lot of people doesn't like how it looked when it was released. There is also a newer version of their motion detector, contact sensors and their range extender.

The big difference is that Ring made them smaller and have different battery type for power. The motion detector uses 2 AA batteries and the contact sensor uses 2 CR2320 button cell batteries. The first generation was powered by CR123A batteries. The motion detector also has better motion detection as per Ring but the app settings looks exactly the same as the older model. The contact sensor also can be separated up to an inch and will still be reliable while the 1st gen sensors needs a max of 1/2 inch gap.

I have been using the Ring alarm system going on 2 years now and I haven't had any issues. I haven't even changed the batteries (CR 123s) on any of them and the battery level still show "green" in the app.
