Hi @Frank01. It gets a little tricky when dealing with multiple buildings at the same address, as the Ring Alarm system is designed to be used within one home. With how you described the setup you're looking to implement, you wouldn't be able to arm and disarm different buildings within the same system. You would need to purchase multiple Alarm systems for each building, but we advise against having multiple systems at the same address, as it's not really designed to be used this way. You could look into installing a Security Camera on the shed or guest house that you're looking to monitor, as it will only require a solid wifi connection and can alert you to motion at the location. You can check out our Security Camera Buyer's Guide [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041531472-The-Security-Camera-Buyer-s-Guide), which will have information on all of the models of our Cameras. I hope this helps you decide on the best fit for security for your home! :)

I have a similar issue to Frank 01. I have two buildings on my property. Both are served by the same wireless network by use of a satellite router that is hardwired from the house to the guest house. I have multiple ring devices around the property and want to add a ring alarm because both buildings have an antiquated hard wired alarm system that is functional but not connected to a monitoring service. My thought is to buy two retrofit kits and one alarm system since the same wireless network serves both buildings. My concern is the communication between the base station of the alarm and the retrofit kit in the guest house. What is your recommended solution to using the existing wired hardware alarm and minimizing the cost of alarm base?
