    Definitely does it's job. You do need tools to install and it can be slightly tricky. Overall a great purchase and gives my family and I peace of mind.

    This was pretty easy to set up but the door sensor wouldn’t activate, no matter how many times we tried. I ended up having to return it.

    I like the ring system over my previous iSmartAlarm that croaked in two years. The ring comes with a simple design that I like but doesn’t come with enough contact sensors. Also the contact sensors are bigger than the sensors I am used to.

    We have gone from paying $35 a month on AT&T Digital Life security and now we only pay $8.33 a month so this system is a much better choice for us long term

    Great tool with no monthly cost. Try to watch an installation video before doing the installation cause the manual is general, and not that detailed.

    Not too bad. Everything seems to work as advertised. Though, here and there one of the keypads decides to be unresponsive to any button press. After using the other keypad or making a change from the app on the phone it goes back to normal.

    Have not installed it yet because my house is not fully constructed yet. The builder puts in the ring doorbell and has recommended the security kit.

    this system is just good enough, but for the money and the insurance discount it is definitely worth it. it's intermittent, and doesn't really make me feel secure like one of the expensive monthly services but it does work.

    Great! I canceled my previous contract alarm service. It's way much better than the previous alarm service I had. Saved me a lot of many too.

    Great security system especially when you add cameras and Door bell. You get video recording and home monitoring for just $10 a month. It can’t be beat

    This is a great starter set and a steal if you already have multiple ring cameras. At $10 a month to get cloud storage and monitoring together it’s kind of a no brainer. I do wish you could combine more smart home features.
