It’s great so far. I had the Nest Secure prior to this but since they are discontinuing their service including notifications I went with the next best option and it was the Ring. It’s affordable and has way more accessories. I signed up for the monitoring service as well. And bought the first alert smoke detectors to replace the nest ones. Definitely would recommend!!

We love this system! We had a local company with a basic package alarm system. 4 doors, smoke & carbon monoxide detectors. The company decided to upgrade system and told us we had to pay $99 to upgrade ours if we wanted it to work. I researched several alarm systems. Easy to set up. Works with our Alexa for bonus features. And no pay for them upgrades. I can add to the system as we go and do not have to pay more for the monitoring. And the monitoring fee is over $100 less a year than what we had with more features.

I was looking for an easy to install alarm system with a lot of add-on components, as well as an app that does NOT require a service to use. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to install the Ring base station, keypad, and sensors, and configure each one. I've started researching cameras to add next. The app has a great deal of functionality, but navigation could be improved. Overall I have been happy with the purchase and performance over the last 12 months. The keypad battery lasted 8 months before charging.

The system is fairly simple to set up, the aesthetic is nice, and because I already had cameras in the house, the 8-Piece kit is exactly what I needed. I would expect the 4 contact-sensors, the hub, the dial pad, and MAYBE the motion detector from a standard kit. But getting the range-extender was a definite plus considering I have a Ring Doorbell and other devices which will benefit from having a signal being transmitted throughout the house a bit better.

Was super easy to set up & works as well as one would hope. Ended up buying more pieces & a camera later, and the install process for all of it is quite smooth. Only down side is the neighborhood portion of it where there's a community or Ring owners that share what's happening around your neighborhood. So instantly you become much more aware of what's happening around you and become much more paranoid... Ignorance is bliss sometimes...

Works really well. It’s just loud when it alarms, but it really convenient especially when you’re in a family trip, and someone is trying to sneak into your house, ring will definitely call you right away.

This system is easy and works well, also merges well with any echo devices you have. Some folks complain about no glass breakage sensors, that is covered by echo devices which listen for glass break or smoke alarm sounding. Works with cell if power goes out at your house for up to 24 hrs. Makes me & wife feels better when home or gone. Ring monitors for $100 per year. Great system!

So far so good. I really like my Ring security system. Installing it was a breeze…the app practically did everything for me. Please note that when you purchase a kit like this the install wants every part turned on and installed. For example I didn’t want the motion sensor, but it came with the kit and the install wasn’t complete until I turned it on. It’s sitting in a blackout box so that it won’t set off (plus I turned off all its alerts so hopefully no mis-fires).

Overall, the system works very well and is very customizable. Higher price of entry than other options if you include cameras in the mix - which I bought directly from Ring - but the monthly monitoring price is very reasonable. There are a couple of features that I was surprised were not included - especially considering my original Xfinity system (5 years old) had them from day one - one of which being an at-home night mode. Was also surprised how hard it was to set up an automated arm mode based on time of day - had to use a third party integration in addition to Alexa to make it work which was very uncesssary. Seems such a simple update to make. Otherwise, the reasons I chose to switch (PoE cameras for stability and lower price) have worked out well. The range extender for the base unit has been especially helpful in bringing a more consistent connection to all the devices, even though we took advantage of PoE cameras.
