    So easy to install and fast too. The entire system was a breeze. I purchased the Ring Alarm 14pc kit but because we have so many windows and doors on the 1st and basement levels i had to buy some extra sensors. The install was flawless. Here's a bonus...I found out that if you already pay for Ring cloud storage for your cameras professional monitoring is included!!!! What a bargain. Bonus #2...instead of buying extra keypads use your old cell or tablet. When it is connected to wifi and you download the app it has the same functionality as a keypad. Within the app you can download and print an alarm certificate that you can send to your insurance company to get a discount. Over a few years the system pays for itself! You can thank me later.

    This sensor is super easy to install with the sticky tape. You can also screw it to the wall, if you like. It works seamlessly with the Ring Home Security kit. Got this as an add on because I needed more sensors than what came in the kit. I recommend them to anyone.

    We bought the total package and had to add some sensors. They are easy to install and really a great value. Feel more secure with these on doors and windows. They really don't deter and are small enough not to notice it on your doors and/or windows.

    As with all Ring products, this has a solid and sleek design and integrates VERY easily with the Ring ecosystem. This can be set up by a 7 year-old. Seems to have slightly better range than the original door / window sensor.

    Good Quality Contact Sensor

    Good contact sensor, easy to pair with your Z-wave hub of choice, and the price is right. I've only had them installed for about a month and the battery is still showing 100%, so that's a good sign that battery life will be good. The one thing that I would like to see is a redesign to be able to change covers. My previous contact sensors came with two different colored covers. Brown covers mounted to a dark brown door certainly looks better than white on brown.

    In addition to buying 10 cameras for the outside of my home, I also purchased alarm sensors for all my doors and windows. We have a two story home with over 3000 sq ft. I am a retired law enforcement officer and understand the (now days) importance of home security. These Alarm Contact Sensors augment the entire security system, and enhances early warning in the event that someone should try and break in our home. Each sensor is set by location, and consequently identifies each area of concern when activated. As of this date, I can say that these little sensors are truly powerful and reliable.

    I love everything about the ring it’s working well for us . 4 stars and definitely recommending as a least expensive alternative to home security. Contact centers pop on and off their base with ease not sure about the sticky part as we have not had to move it as of yet however they exactly what they’re supposed to do and are not expensive. We purchased the kit second generation and added additional contact sensors

    Fairly easy to install and set up. They seem to work well so far. I would have liked them to come with extra sticky strips. I ended up having to reposition a couple and after doing that there was no sticky left. I cut down some 3M command strips, but the stick doesn't feel as sturdy. I checked online and they don't offer replacement strips - they just advise to use 3M Command Strips and cut them down to size. So far, happy with the purchase.
