    Very cool and useful security for your home. 3 stars because there could be better features like wireless battery options for the keypad and the base without having to pay. Also, set up is tricky and not so streamlined.

    This entire system was installed in less than 2 hours. Great coverage, easy to set up and very simple installation on all the devices. With professional support to monitor our system, my wife and I now feel confident our new home is fully protected.

    The Ring Alarm Kit is easy to install and does a great job to give peace of mind for home security. You can also choose to have professional monitoring by Ring for only $10 a month. That includes video viewing and saving on any Ring cameras or doorbells.

    Bought this after being cleaned out in a burglary. Aside from the peace of mind, it is super easy to use. I have since moved, and it's easy to take with you (keep in mind it will be stuck to all surfaces, may have to replace sticky piece).

    Exactly what the do it yourself home security seeker wants! One keypad was faulty but quickly replaced by RING. Only drawback is that kit does not provide an adequate operations manual. User must research any questions about the devices online.

    Worth every penny. Much cheaper and works just as well as an alarm companies system. Only took about 15 minutes to set it up and it integrates with the cameras and Amazon echo's.

    The picture quality is amazing. We've had our truck broken into and were forced to get an alarm system. We compared them all and not only was this easy to set up but the quality it hands down best We've seen

    I was looking for a security system to replace the costly ADT system. I already had some Ring cameras so it was an easy transition. EZ setup and integration - great starter kit but be prepared to purchase additional sensors.

    This is easy to install, but I wish the mounting brackets for the motion detectors were L brackets that you could turn. Moreover, would be nice if you could purchase as an accessory if they want to keep it lower cost.

    Love it It has been a deterrent for people. As it’s right in the front entryway and people can see it through the front door. The sound of the door times are not ear piercing but people do know that it’s there as I have my house under construction and it does make me feel safer to know that the people in and out of my house now I have it

    They aren't kidding when they state this system is easy to install and to get set up. I am very happy that I went with Ring. Also, you can't bet the price on the professional monitoring and you can cancel at any time for any reason.

    If you have Amazon Alexa devices and want easy integration to create routines. This is the best alarm system you can get. Works great, responses and alerts are fast. There is 3rd party support for door locks and smoke alarms.

    Home alarm works great easy to use on your IPhone. But the doorbell 2 is a big disappointment, it notifies you after the person has gone, read online and several people have the same problem and Ring has no fix for the problem at this time.
