    I love my ring system. The only thing I didn't realize when I purchased was that these don't work with crank out windows, so they were returned.

    May Not Align to Decorative Door Casings.

    Purchased product to place on back patio door. Door has glass panes so wanted extra security. Product well made and I really like the concept, but had to return because I have a decorative interior door casing which prevented the sensors from aligning perfectly. Rated 3 stars because did not see any information in product description about potential alignment issues with door casings.

    I purchased a bundled Ring Home Security System for my new home in March. Unfortunately, I needed additional sensors. I was able to purchase the bundled sensors at an awesome price at Best Buy!

    Work great with ring alarm. One sensor was a little far from the base station so I move the extender into the room this sensor was being installed and the sensor connected! These new sensors are a lot smaller than the ones that came with my ring alarm.

    Unfortunately, I purchased this, not even using my common sense.. thought it would work with just the surveillance cameras. But naturally common sense woulda clicked in, that it just doesn’t work as we want. Needs more for it to sound.

    I bought 4 of these Ring 2nd sensors and the Seller shipped me 2 OLD ONES. One of them got corroded batteries inside, and the other 2 didn't work at all. Only 1 is working. Bad experience with this seller.

    Love the Ring Security System! I have a motion sensor on my main level and lower level walk out. You can set them separately so when I’m home the lower level is protected and when I’m away both are set to on.

    This is my 2nd purchase to add them to more windows to get full control on your home security. Few of these monitors will run out of battery quickly than others and not sure why only a few of them got impact when installed all of them at the same time.
