Love the Ring products very simple and easy to setup. Don't think twice if your looking for a security systems and the new generation is smaller and looks better than the first generation.

I love these new Ring sensors as they're so much smaller than the original ones. Super easy to install and Ring picked it up immediately. Will look to pick up a few more for some more windows.

They work as intended and easy to install. Just make sure you install them where you have access to the battery

I have a sensor oat every entry point in ny new home. They work great. I have some for over 5 years and habe bever replaced the batteries. They are customizable in the ring app to set alerts for when doors or windows are open or closed, either or or both. I do wish they came with replacement foam backings. Overall these are a must have!

Just as easy to install as the 1st generation. Work fine even when mounted on less than matching surfaces such as trim molding and door. Just be sure to put lines on same side.

These have been super easy to set up within the Ring system. I had to add more and the process for pairing them was a snap. They could use additional options for adhesive areas for out of the ordinary installation points due to limitations of space related to how a window opens. The device needs space to be able to back off the shell to access the battery. I simply purchased a foam adhesive strip and cut it to size to make that work. No real problem.

Knocking a star off for the setup process which only goes through 50 % of the time. Works well once setup and sometimes the battery life is sometimes 75% or lower sitting in storage.

These contact sensors can be used on windows and doors. They're easy to install. When they're paired with the base station it makes your home more secure.
