Additional keypads and sensors can be purchased separately and added to the system at any time. Each bundle includes the base station, keypad(s), and a variety of motion and contact sensors. However, if you’re new to Ring security, it’s best to start with one of the Ring Pro’s 8-piece or 14-piece kits.
