    10/10, feels high quality and you can add more pieces if you want. Big fan, would highly recommend buying for a home security system.

    Even in 2024, this Ring Alarm kit is still worth it. The newer model, Ring Alarm "Pro" adds in a couple features, most notably an eero router, but if you don't need mesh coverage because you have a smaller home, you mostly get everything else you would want in a lower priced package. Setup is just as easy, and compatible with current gen Ring motion detectors, sensors, and Ring Flood and Freeze sensors.

    I’ve had a Ring Door Bell, flood light cameras, Smart Carbon Monoxide And smoke detectors in my home for a while. This product truly brings out the true potential in those smart home components and has simplified the process of Disarming and Arming my home without the need for an app. The system installed easily, it looks clean and timeless makes a pleasant sound when the doors open! I’ve accidentally tripped the alarm a few times and you can really hear it. Works with Alexa devices for added convenience! I’m truly glad I purchased this, absolutely one of my best Smart Home purchases yet! I strongly recommend!

    This alarm has to be the most user friendly alarm out there. It’s easy to setup and works great. We even were able to use the sensors as triggers to turn on things as they open. Great product.

    Do they respond the same way in an emergency?

    The keypad in the set is defective; instead of the digits running from 0 through 9, there are two 9s and no 8. I thought that it wasn't a big deal, but it turns out that the first 9 key doesn't act like an 8 if you use it in your security code. Of course, I realized this after installing every other piece and gluing the sensors to the doors, windows, and walls. Reached out to Ring customer service twice and they were completely useless (one time they completely ignored my question). They wanted me to reach out to their support team for troubleshooting. How do you troubleshoot a visibly defective piece of equipment? Also reached out to Best Buy and all the only option I had was to return the whole thing. Again, everything is now installed and I would have to remove everything just to have one of the pieces replaced. It's a waste of time and a waste of materials. If this is how Ring responds to such an insignificant issue, it makes me wonder how useful they would be in an emergency.

    In my pursuit of a home security solution that combines reliability with elegance, the Ring Alarm 8-Piece Security Kit has proven to be an exemplary choice. Its thoughtful design and seamless integration into my living space offer both peace of mind and aesthetic harmony. The kit includes a base station, keypad, four contact sensors, a motion detector, and a range extender, providing comprehensive coverage for my residence. The intuitive setup process and user-friendly Ring app facilitate effortless control and monitoring, aligning with my preference for streamlined technology.  The system’s compatibility with other Ring products and Amazon Alexa enhances its functionality, allowing for a cohesive smart home experience. The optional professional monitoring service adds an extra layer of security, offering reassurance without being intrusive.   While the built-in siren could benefit from increased volume, the overall performance and reliability of the system are commendable. Its unobtrusive presence and dependable operation make it a valuable addition to my home.  In summary, the Ring Alarm 8-Piece Security Kit embodies a balance of sophistication and practicality, delivering effective security with understated elegance.

    Had this ring 2 alarm system for about a month now. The sensors are smaller, same with the key pad and speaker. Works the same as the one we had previously only downside is with this one we didn't get two key pads like the first gen model had. It's nicer than everything is smaller and we were able to sync them up with the gen 1 sensors as well. Connecting to the app works the same as well.

    This is the second Ring 2nd Gen system I've installed. It replaced a SmartThings hub that was awful in both alarm operation and use. Ring offers a professional monitoring option for a decent price, making this a legitimate system for homeowner insurance discounts. Installation was really impressive - the Ring hub interface holds your hand the whole way through, providing superb documentation in simple, pleasant dialogue. I never had to troubleshoot a single aspect of the install for 20+ devices - and that's impressive indeed given everything it's doing behind the scenes. Q-code install and alarm operation are done through the mobile app, although they do have a login web portal as well.
