I recently upgraded to the Ring Alarm 5-Piece Kit and am thrilled with my decision! The setup was incredibly simple, even for someone with limited tech skills. The kit includes everything you need for comprehensive home security: a Base Station, Keypad, Motion Detector, Contact Sensor, and Range Extender. The 30-day free Ring Protect trial is an excellent bonus, offering peace of mind with professional monitoring. I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to improve their home security system with ease!

I moved my system from my house to my RV when I went full time. This system is awesome with maybe a quirk here or there. I’d recommend getting the solar setup for anything outside. If not you’ll be changing batteries constantly. I bought the panic button, motion detector , 5 cameras, door bell, freeze sensor, range extender and chimes equaling 31 items just on the ring, not including the robot vacuums, robot litter box, 5 Sonos speakers, 4 Alexa, Apple Home pod, 12 Emporia wireless plugs for electric monitoring, 6 lifx bulbs, 3 yard wireless lights, laptop, phone and everything else I have. All of this in my RV. The people that say this system doesn’t work, has bad signal or blah blah blah or doesn’t know what they’re doing or don’t have the wifi to handle all the components. I occasionally have a sensor that messes up but other than that all this is on my 1 T-Mobile home internet. Being in IT for 30 years I know that most of the modems only have the capacity to connect limited devices. I’ve always had to find a modem that handles all my stuff. If you having trouble with any of your wifi gadgets look at your system as that’s likely the problem. This system connect easily and works with very little interaction from me.

My electric bike was stolen from my backyard. The thieves jumped my locked gate, went through the side gate then took the bike from a closed storage shed. I had thought about an alarm system but had put it off due to cost. Well, my Ring kit (5-piece) cost a heck of a lot less than my replacement bike - lesson learned. On to my review... I purchased the 5-piece refurbished Ring system. I've always had great luck with Amazon's refurbished electronics. Added was an Outdoor Gate Sensor and an Outdoor Blink Camera (I already have a Blink doorbell). The setup was pretty simple - I just took my time and followed the guides. The look of the components is modern and clean. I incorporated the base unit into one of my gallery walls. The ring changes color so I always know the state of the system and it looks cool. I included the keypad as part of a vignette by my front door. The door sensors are mounted toward the top of each door frame and pretty much blend in. I chose not to install window sensors for now. I have manual window locks because of my A/C system. I've tested the siren (it's in the base unit) and it is super loud - very effective. Arming and disarming the system from the app, Alexa, and the keypad is very simple. All systems are a go LOL! I'll be installing the gate sensor today but have already tested it and it works great. There is a range extender included but it looks like I won't need it. It would be nice if Ring would include a template to wall mount the base unit. The mounting holes on the back are pretty awkward to work with. I used Gorilla Tape to mount it rather than messing with the screw mount. I haven't decided on a subscription plan yet so I'm self-monitoring for now. Yard signs are available separately, which I'll be purchasing as an additional deterrent.

I purchased this after having xfinity Home for 6 years. I got tired of them raising my rates and playing with contracts. I love the new Ring system. I also purchased a peephole cam and interior camera. The system is VERY easy to install. I can't believe Comcast forces a $99 install fee for their similar system to install. Everything worked as it should out of the box. The door sensors are a little larger than most but they have some give on spacing and didn't have any problems. The system itself let's you setup multiple users. I have it notify me on my phone each time my door opens and closes but this can be enabled/disabled. There are no rules options as far as I can see like I had with my last provider (i.e. Automatic arm the system at X time in case I forgot). Very excited about the $10/month price tag. I purchased some cheap smart bulbs on Amazon and have Ring patched in with them via Alexa. So in the middle of the night if my entry door open, I have the kitchen lights turn on blue for a few minutes. Early in the morning when the motion detector detects motion, the kitchen lights turn on white dim until the front door opens and I leave for work. When someone comes home during the day and disarms the alarm, my kitchen lights turn on and turn off after 30 minutes of no motion. This is all custom settings but using the Ring alarm sensors to trigger Alexa rules. Very hdlpful. Love this system.
