Ring Access Controller Pro Information
If you live in a home or small building with a security gate, the Ring Access Controller Pro can provide access through your gate for authorized visitors and Amazon deliveries by using the Ring app.
What is the Ring Access Controller Pro?
The Ring Access Controller Pro is a smart access device that works with an existing electrical access control system that can be triggered via relay to grant access through your security gate with the Ring app. The Ring Access Controller Pro makes it easy for you to remotely unlock* your gate to grant access to friends or Amazon delivery associates to deliver eligible packages.
Note: Activating Amazon Key in-gate delivery will enable in-gate deliveries for all eligible packages brought to that address. You must obtain any necessary permissions to enable in-gate deliveries for your address prior to activating such service.
How does the Ring Access Controller Pro work?
Once the Ring Access Controller Pro is professionally installed near a power outlet and your remote access panel, you can remotely unlock* your security gate by using the Ring app. You can also turn on the Amazon Key for Gate delivery service to allow Amazon delivery agents one-time access to your security gate in order to drop off packages in a secure location.
Lastly, you can unlock* a gate through the Quick Controls of a Ring video doorbell or camera in the Ring app.
