    Just Fine

    The system is just fine. It works, it isn't terribly hard to set up the base station. The kit includes a pile of stuff, including a Z-Wave extender (that's ultra not clear in the product description, this is not a general WiFi extender, it is used to extend the network Ring uses to work). I was able to add my Schlage smart locks fairly easily (except Ring thinks it knows better than you, it erases all the codes in your lock - a really bad thing for it to do). One lock is a Connect - can control everything through the app, locking / un locking and lock status. The other is an older key pad that sends the activate code to the lock and allows manual turning of the lock. Except there is no lock / un lock status in the app. MyQ garage door opener, works a lot less well with the app. Basically you get a door status and then a link that opens the MyQ app to activate the door. I bought this to manage my door locks, and it does that job. If you are buying this as a real live security system, you have to subscribe to the professional monitoring - right now $10 per month. Ring works really hard to get you to buy that protect plus subscription (notice is always present at the bottom of the app, and default when you try to subscribe). They manage to make the plans confusing, protect is video recording for the doorbell. Protect Plus is the professional monitoring and video recording. I absolutely hate the whole Ring neighborhood subsystem. It's frankly worse than NextDoor. I get more stupid announcements about coyotes and fox on the loose - Protect Your Children!!!!! There's no way to get rid of those announcements, or screen them.

    Security Installation in Yuba

    They system works great! No complaints with equipment. Installers were friendly, courteous and helpful. Only compliant is with installation scheduling. Installer was from Fort Atkinson, WI. Service location was in Yuba, WI. Installer had to drive from Fort Atkinson to La Crosse, WI and then back to Yuba for installation. There are Best Buy stores in Madison, WI which is on the way from Fort Atkinson to Yuba, WI. Going to La Crosse to pick up the equipment and back to Yuba, WI is adding approx. 5 hours to his trip.

    We purchased the Ring Alarm for our new home in January. It has provided my family and I with piece of mind and a sense of security in our new environment. It is taking a little time to get use to the new sounds in the new house, but we sleep well knowing that we have a quality security system.

    Very quick, easy, and simple set-up. Seamless app control and connectivity. I like that the keypad can be mobile but I chose to mount it in a permanent location. Additional ring devices can be added to the system at later times with minimal effort. The monitoring fee is AWESOME! Who can beat $10/mo or $100/yr(Don't be cheap, pay the full year upfront and save the $20) When I inadvertently set off the alarm, whilst I was away, I did get the call from Ring so I can say that they are on top of it as far as response time. Best of all, if you move, you can take it with you, along with the fact you can monitor yourself, multiple properties, if you install, even without the professional monitoring.

    It’s a ring. What is there to write about other than it works like a charm. Canceled adt for home and my business by installing these in both locations. Can manage both locations in same app. Bye bye expensive alarm companies.

    Ring Alarm works with Ring door bell

    Ring Alarm / system was easy to install and no glitches. Just follow the step by step instructions on the app during installation. I bought the Ring Alarm along with ( 2 ) Ring door bell's. The Ring app works with the Alarm system & Door bells.... which is great...... one "dashboard" controls both. Definitely a benefit and the app will work with the Ring Stick up cams too. The alarm system can be armed and disarmed remotely on the Ring app via your cell phone or manually on the included keypad. I did buy additional contact sensors and 2 extra motion sensors. The Ring Alarm is a good value ....especially when it is on sale ....and worth the extra level of security it provides.

    Absolutely the best alarm system I've ever had it dose everything I wanted and more you can adjust the range you want to monitor you can talk through the outside camera and door bell and if your alarm goes off for what ever reason it sounds outside through the cameras as well so that your neighbors can help call the police if needed

    Using the Ring Alarm as self Monitored for the first couple months. The family is used to and have had only one accidental alarm triggering after 1 month. I would like to see Ring adding the ability to change the status ring color for each Armed setting. There is no easy way outside of the app that I have found to determine whether it is set to Home Armed or Away Armed.

    Absolutely amazing how quick and easy the system went together and got me hooked up complete with my cameras and doorbell‘s. Having first sold a ring doorbell I was familiar with the product line but never got around to purchasing the full alarm system. Going away on vacation I need a peace of mind so I purchased the system the night before I was scheduled to fly away. In just a couple of hours the system was up and running it even came with a signal booster that helped with the original ring cameras and made installing sensors all over the whole a piece of cake. They even factor in practice time for a week before you’re connected to the service a great foresight on their part. All in all this is truly a system that is easy to install simple to use with great connectivity and piece of mind. Highly recommended
