    Ring Alarm is excellent. Provides some peace of mind for me as a single parent. Easy to install and setup. I am notified with message and sound. Like to know when the older teens are coming and going. Bought as gifts for my older children to use at their homes and they were able to install and setup their systems with ease.

    I would recommend installing this system in a larger house. The next piece I'll be buying is a camera or two, as I feel that will be most useful. Very easy to install, definitely measure doorways and such to make sure the sensors will fit your doors, as I will have to work around the width of my doorframe trim vs. the size of the door sensors.

    The installation is simple if you have good eyesight! It is just as good as the one I have had for years monitored by someone chasing me $40 a month. I like the ability to add to the system whenever you want without the need to call on a company that will charge you to come out .. I like it a lot and love that it switches to cellular of WiFi goes down.

    It goes off line every day? Anyone else experience that? Seems that the motion sensor doesn’t work from high ranges?

    The system was easy to setup and it works very well. They give you everything you need to register your alarm system with your county. I was tempted to bypass the 7 day period to get used to your alarm system, but forgot the system was in "home" mode and set it off. Remember, false alarms cost money if someone is dispatched.

    Used to have Comcast until they got really expensive. Comcast charges $40 per month, they charge $100 per year. You get the same service and it links up with Amazon Alexa seamlessly. Easy to hook up and we have two dogs (small (25lb) and one medium (42lb)). The motion sensors do not see the dogs at all while we are not home.

    I was very impressed how easy this was too install. The app is very intuitive and the directions were very clear cut. Each sensor paired with the keypad. The installation was as easy as pairing a Bluetooth device to your mobile device. Highly recommend this product! Monthly monitoring is available for those who want it as well!

    I decided to look into a security system since it is just my daughter, my sister and myself. Let me tell you I am happy I did! Not only is this the EASIEST system to set up , it took me maybe 30 minutes but the comfort of checking if I set it from anywhere! With the app I can activate and de-activate from anywhere!

    Great all around alarm, with or without the monitor service. Easy to install, great monitoring, easy to use. Integrated easily with my other ring items and all my amazon Alexa stuff. This has been everything we were looking in an alarm solution. App works great and cannot say enough about the ease of install and integration.
