    Pretty easy to install. We needed extra monitors and found it cheaper to buy a whole second kit. Smelling a bit of the printer cartridge strategy here...we will see.

    I bought this security system to replace my Time Warner one that was no longer going to be supported by Spectrum. This system was super easy to install. My interaction with the service itself has been amazing. There was one small hiccup which actually showed me how quickly the service responds. One of my sensors disconnected and sounded the alarm. The police was at the house in less than 7 minutes. I was impressed.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    I was worried buying this that it wouldn’t be apartment friendly but it absolutely is and works so well. I’m not worried anymore while I’m home alone or leaving my animals alone . The keypad had an extremely long battery life and the app is very easy to use . All the different parts are easy to setup and I had no issues at all .

    We have the first gen security system and love it. Bought this one as a gift for my buddy who just moved into there new home. They love it! It’s easy to set up and easy to use. They have little ones so it’s even helped with adding additional sensors to monitor which doors open by identifying each sensor to a unique chirp.

    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).
