    Good security system, but definitely needs more sensors included. No one only has 4 points of entry in their house.

    Ring + Alexa is the combo to get!

    Very easy to set up and use. I combined this product with an echo show with the promotional offer. I have set up routines for Alexa to notify me when certain doors are open. The door sensors don’t skip a beat and are very good. The siren is crazy loud. I am in a trial period for the Protect Plan for live monitoring, but I am hopeful the cellular backup alone makes it worth it. App is very fast and easy to use.

    System is working well so far. Monitoring service and instructions are good. There should be more sensors in the package for the price. Wish the base device had a volume control to turn it up higher. Ring claims that neighbors can hear the alarm but I doubt that.

    In a Victorian House with thick trim

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The door/window sensors assume the door is flush with the trim. In my Victorian house, the doors and windows trim is thick and the door or window inset. That being said, the sensor still worked although a bit offset (guess it was less than 1”). Otherwise I’m happy with the system. Had a bit of a problem with the initial setup. The help person was super patient and helpful.

    Mixed feelings

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Good product! HOWEVER: sometimes the sensors do not work well, they will say “tampered” and then it’s basically useless. I wanted to swap out one for a new one because of this and they wouldn’t because it was a pet of a package deal, meaning I would need to return the whole system to replace once sensor. That’s really NOT practical or environmentally friendly. Very wasteful and cumbersome to deal with.

    I’ve never had a security system before so for this being my first time it was very convenient and easy to put up and figure out. Works very well and there’s options on the sensitivity that I like so it’s not going off every time my dogs go outside.

    Not the service we are used to with Best Buy

    The young man who helped us pick out what we needed really didn’t know the product. Sold us too much. The check out process was riddled with errors that took a long time to fix, then fix again. We will need to go back to Best Buy to return the product that we didn’t need. We like the product we bought, just not the sales persons expertise.
