The Ring Intercom from Amazon upgrades your intercom system, allowing you to speak with visitors at the building entrance and grant them access via the Ring app, even when you're not home. (Compatible intercom system required) The Ring Intercom is powered by a Ring Quick-Release Battery Pack. Download the Ring app and follow the setup instructions to install the Ring Intercom on your existing, compatible intercom system. By default, Ring Intercom does not record or store conversations. Receive real-time notifications when someone presses the intercom and use the intercom feature to find out who is at your building entrance. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to the building. Set up additional access control features through the Ring app using the "Guest with Automatic Access" function. You can send a guest key to trusted individuals, allowing them access to the building within a timeframe you specify. Unlock the building entrance remotely using the Ring app's remote unlock feature. Designed for self-installation, most users can complete the installation in no more than 45 minutes. To make it as easy as possible, we provide a simple step-by-step guide in the Ring app. It connects with the internal part of the intercom in your apartment, so no changes need to be made to the building's shared intercom system. The Ring Intercom works with Alexa, enabling you to speak with individuals who press your intercom and unlock the building entrance with voice commands.
