Just installed the ring system with retrofit kit. Installation was pretty simple and straight forward. Only thing I wished for was hardwire plug with backup battery instead of running solely on AA batteries.

Came to $135 plus tax after the 10% discount for having a Ring Plus subscription. If you are buying this and don't already have the plus subscription sign up for it first.

That is how wired security panels work afaik. We would know which zone is triggered and not the individual contact sensor if there are multiple sensors connected to a single zone. It is very common to have multiple contact sensors in a single zone. What I did was to logically separate them for easy ID, like downstairs windows are all one zone.

Yep. Ring allows you to stack the 10% off. I ended up doing so with 20% on two solar panels for the Spotlight Cams. Came out to $57 after tax, shipped.

You can have 2 kits to expand it to 16. It says that somewhere in their faq.

Will it work with existing ADT wired system? My existing system beeps whenever doors and windows are opened. I have ring plus plan.

Works with most if not all. You basically yank out your old system down to just the wire. Than reconnect the varies zones to that.

If you cannot identify zones and do basic wiring, this is not for you.

I have a dsc keypad that is currently not tied to any security service. Can I still use this panel to input my code or do I have to buy a ring keypad

Edit: Looks like it won't. If you want to keep your old keypad look into the Hub 6. It's supposed to work with DSC systems and most Honeywell ones as well

"When you add the Retrofit Alarm Kit with your wired zones to your Ring Alarm, the entire zone will be managed similar to individual Ring Alarm Contact Sensors, but you won't be able to identify exactly which wired contact sensor was triggered. "

Please correct me if I'm wrong but...
This doesn't sound very helpful to me. I want to know which window or door was triggered during an event— this sounds like it doesn't allow that. Better to just buy more Ring sensors in my opinion.

It will not beep same way, since what beeps is your keypad, and this just connects your alarm zones.
However anytime your zone is triggered you will get notification on your phone.

I installed 2 of these a couple months ago into my 14 zone system. Just be deliberate in following the step-by-step instructions and you should be good to go. I was able to also wire in 2 4-wire motion sensors as zones by keeping the old box for power wires but running the sensor wires to the Retrofit kit - works fine - you just have to call them "doors" or "windows" in the setup, but then name them something else so you know what they are.

My old alarm panel is still installed because my home was wired with low-voltage smoke detectors and I did not add those to the Retrofit kit. It would be theoretically possible to do so, but the smoke detectors would behave like doors or windows and not as smoke detectors in the Ring App, which is less than ideal.

It's also nice because you can create Alexa routines for your various zones just like you could with the regular Ring hardware.

As another user pointed out, it is extremely common to have multiple windows on 1 loop/zone in a hardwired setup, so you will know which set of windows is open via the app, but not the exact specific window that is open.
