Ring Intercom Information
What is Ring Intercom?
Ring Intercom upgrades existing audio intercom handsets to offer increased peace of mind and convenience for apartment dwellers. With do-it-yourself installation alongside your existing intercom, Ring Intercom lets you speak to visitors from anywhere via Two-Way Talk and provide access to your apartment building from anywhere.
With Ring Intercom, you can provide verified building access directly from the Ring app. The Shared User feature lets you provide others with access to your Ring device, giving significant others or housemates the ability to buzz themselves into the building using the Ring app on their own smartphone. Auto-Verify for Amazon Deliveries lets you provide verified delivery drivers with automated, time-bound building access when they have a parcel specifically for the building¹. You can manage and remove trusted Shared Users or activate Auto-Verify for Amazon Deliveries at any time.
Download the Ring app and follow the instructions to retrofit Ring Intercom alongside your existing, compatible audio intercom, and benefit from Ring features that matter, like Two-Way Talk and real-time alerts² straight to your smartphone or tablet when someone buzzes at your building's entrance.

Installation, Power, and Connectivity
How is Ring Intercom powered?

Ring Intercom comes with a spare Quick Release Battery and Charging Station, to make sure Ring Intercom stays powered, providing continued peace of mind.
What happens if my wifi is down?
In the case of a wifi disruption, Ring Intercom will move into Offline Mode. You will receive a “device offline” alert from the Ring app and functionality will be limited to that of the existing handset, so you can still talk to visitors and open the entrance to your building from inside the apartment. Once wifi is restored, Ring Intercom will automatically begin working again. If wifi is down during the time of a delivery and you have enabled Auto-Verify for Amazon Deliveries, the driver will not be able to access the shared entrance door without manual assistance.

Lease agreements, home owner association agreements, co-owner arrangements and applicable laws may have restrictions on the installation and use of Ring Intercom. Customers should review applicable laws and their residence agreements carefully to make sure they are complying with any restrictions. It is important to seek out and obtain any required consents from the landlord or co-residents prior to installing the device and enabling features, such as Auto-Verify for Amazon Deliveries.
Does Ring Intercom require professional installation?
