Blink is more affordable and its battery technology is superior, despite being less popular than Ring. It overshadows Blink in a lot of ways, but that doesn’t mean that Blink plays second fiddle. Of the two brands, Ring is considered the “golden child.” It offers more and a wider variety of products and it’s more popular. Both companies continued to flourish on their own, eventually creating one of the most interesting rivalries in the home security market. Everybody thought that the two brands would merge, given that they offer similar products – video doorbells and security cameras. The retail giant acquired Blink in December 2017, and then a month later, bought Ring for over a billion dollars.

Both Amazon companies, Ring and Blink offer cameras that integrate well with Alexa.

When it’s powered by battery the mode lights only illuminate when the motion sensor detects you approaching the keypad.

RING ALARM KEYPAD INSTRUCTIONS VERIFICATION

With regard to the post above from jrc645 about the keypad now providing no visiual confirmation that it is powered, and having to look at the app instead, a mode light constantly illuminated is your verification that’s it’s plugged in and running off of your home’s power.

RING ALARM KEYPAD INSTRUCTIONS MODS

I do agree that the blinking mode LED now is a little annoying, and I dispute the claim by the Ring mods here that it’s intentional and meant to “remind you what mode you’re in.” Pretty sure that the totally RANDOM and NOT occuring at exact one minute intervals blinking of mode LEDs was unintentionally caused by whatever the engineers did with the firmware update. Sorry engineers, I guess sometimes you just can’t win. The engineers finally get around to trying to satisfy the customers and, of course, people are now complaining that they miss the stupid green light. Yes as you might have guessed, not a happy customer at the moment.įor years now everyone has been complaining about the green LED being too bright and on all the time. As I said I don’t this is an enhancement that improves functionality, just the opposite however, if you pushed out notification at least owners of the impacted device would not be surprised by the functionality and think they have a faulty device. In addition, if Ring pushes out software/firmware updates that impact the visuals and/or app functionality Ring should also push out release notes on what is changing to avoid unnecessary calls or posts on this forum. If this was truly intentional, I’m really not sure what you folks were thinking here. Currently Away and Home are both Red, and Disarm is blue… Why not have three distinct colors? An enhancement would be to change the color based on the mode.

If you can’t tell the status with a quick glance, a blink every minute is not going to make much of a difference, especially if you are not looking at the keypad at the time of the blink. Blinking an already bright LED (or however bright you prefer) does not seem to make much sense. The LED for the system status (Away, Home, Disarmed) are brightly colored and you can adjust the brightness in the app. The 2nd enhancement “request” seems to be even more ridiculous. A true enhancement would have allowed you to change the brightness on that particular LED (as you can on others) or turn it off completely. You now have an extra overt step as opposed to a visual confirmation of power going to the device.

RING ALARM KEYPAD INSTRUCTIONS UPDATE

So after this update the keypad now provides no visual confirmation that it is powered you need to look at the device on the app to see that status.
