I recently installed this home security system for my parents and after the install I was fully sold on getting one for myself. It is extremely easy to set up and use. I did have a slight hiccup when installing my parents system due to the fact that they use and Apple devices and with the Apple devices there's a little connectivity issue when setting up the Wi-Fi access. It wasn't hard to find a quick work around for it but it did slow down the process just a little bit. Once fully installed this gave no problems with their Apple device. The system is great for parents like me with small children giving us alerts when a door has opened or if someone forgot to close something. When on the go it's nice to be able to check on our home and know it is secure. It's also nice to know that the system has its own internal batteries so if there's a loss of power the security system is still able to arm and stay armed.

Hi QSFYCSupport.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how important it is for your Ring Alarm Security Kit 5-Piece to alert you to any wanted or unwanted activity in or around your home. The features and technology provided by the Ring Security Kit 5-Piece are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.
It sounds like the device did not meet your expectations in regards to the volume of the siren. The Ring Security Kit 5-Piece is an alarm system that combines reliable home security with a secure internet network. If your siren is triggered in your home or business, the Ring Alarm Base Station siren will sound for 10 minutes and then turn off. The Ring Alarm Base Station has a 104 dB siren.
There are a variety of situations where a homeowner might feel the need to extend the range of the alarm signal. These include:
Living in a very large house where walls and other construction may mute the siren.
Living in a multi-story home where the sounds may not be heard in the basement or attic.
Having areas that are frequently subject to loud noises that might drown out the sound of the siren.
Having people living in the home who are hard-of-hearing who might miss an alert if the sound is too far away.
If the volume of the Ring Alarm Base Station siren is not sufficient for your environment, we recommend that you add the Ring Alarm Dome Siren to your system. The Ring Alarm Dome Siren is a secondary siren that can extend the range of your Ring Alarm to sound in areas of your home.
For more information on your Ring Security Kit 5-Piece, we invite you to reach out to our community. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their personal feedback and experiences with Ring.

Works as expected. Changed from ADT to Ring Alarm and cannot be happier about that decision.

It looks like a product to me but it needs to be connected to an outlet all the time

These are great combo. They work well. With little technical support, I was able to setup the devices. We love using Ring. I will recommend this kit.

[Employee of bestbuy] The Ring security system is a popular choice for home security, offering a range of devices designed to enhance safety and monitoring. Here are some key points to consider: # Features: 1. **Video Doorbells**: Ring's video doorbells allow users to see, hear, and speak to visitors via a smartphone app, even when they're not home. 2. **Security Cameras**: Indoor and outdoor cameras provide live streaming and recording capabilities, with motion detection alerts. 3. **Smart Lighting**: Ring offers smart lights that can be integrated with their security system to enhance outdoor visibility and deter intruders. 4. **Alarm System**: The Ring Alarm system includes door/window sensors, motion detectors, and a base station for a comprehensive security solution. ## Pros: - **User-Friendly App**: The Ring app is intuitive and allows for easy management of devices and alerts. - **Integration**: Compatible with other smart home devices, including Amazon Alexa, for voice control and automation. - **Customizable Alerts**: Users can tailor notifications to avoid unnecessary disturbances. - **Subscription Plans**: Optional cloud storage for video recordings through Ring Protect, providing access to recorded footage. ### Cons: - **Subscription Fees**: While basic features are free, many advanced functionalities require a monthly subscription. - **Privacy Concerns**: Some users have raised issues regarding data privacy and the potential for unauthorized access. - **Dependence on Wi-Fi**: A stable internet connection is necessary for optimal performance; outages can disrupt functionality. ### Overall Impression: The Ring security system is effective for those seeking a flexible, scalable home security solution. Its ease of use and integration with smart home ecosystems make it a strong contender in the market, though potential customers should consider privacy implications and ongoing costs.

Super easy to install, set up and use. I love it, Great purchase. I bought a door bell alarm + extra door alarms and it all works seamlessly

This system is working great as I expected. It was highly recommended by a relative. I've seen how efficient their system functioned. I finally got my own. It's simple to install and is great. I now know which door was just opened or if someone is moving in the house. Love it so far

i purchased the Ring Alarm Security Kit 5-piece (2nd-gen) and the Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit as a bundle during Best Buy's on-line Black Friday sales event and had it delivered to my home since i would receive it earlier than if delivered to the store. i wanted to replace the large 30+ year old Radio Shack alarm box but keep the wired doors and windows zones since they still worked and according to what i read, the Retrofit Alarm kit is used to interface existing wired doors and windows zones with the Ring Alarm base. because this review is on the Ring Alarm Security kit and not the bundle i separated the part of my review on the Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit and did it on that item review the Ring Alarm Security Kit contained everything in one box with the instructions to install the alarm and each accessory in the kit. - the alarm base station was easy to mount once i knew where i wanted to place it. -> i used a piece of paper to mark the holes from the back of the alarm so i knew where to place the screws on the wall to hang the alarm - the keypad was easy to mount since the holder was able to slide off and i used it to mark where to place the screws on the wall to hang the keypad (near the kitchen door) i downloaded the Ring app from the Apple App Store to my iPhone and iPad -> using the Ring App on my iPad: -> configured the Ring Alarm base to connect to my WIFI -> added the keypad -> did not need to add the Range Extender, Motion Detector and Contact Sensor -> you can customize the Ring Alarm base station chime and volume, the brightness of the 'Ring' and other things through the Ring app all in all, i like the Ring Alarm system, how easy it was to set up, how small the Ring Alarm base and Retrofit Alarm kit are when compared to the old Radio Shack alarm box which i removed from the wall after i transferred the wired doors and windows zones to the Retrofit Alarm kit. i like how you get a notification on your device and an audible chime from the alarm base when any zone is opened or closed - all of these are customizable through the Ring app. i would recommend the Ring Alarm Security kit and if you are looking to replace your old working alarm system with working wired zones, then i would recommend the Ring Alarm Retrofit kit (see my review on the Ring Alarm Retrofit kit)

Ring systems are awesome, work well, user friendly, and easy to install. I have a big system myself complete with numerous cameras. This was a housewarming gift for a friend who was feeling less secure, and I was happy they made a small kit perfect for a condo.

Works greats and give me peace of mind to have our home monitored. Easy setup.

I purchased a new house and my wife wanted a security system. Since standard security systems are incredibly expensive, I researched Ring. It is a super-easy DIY solution and is great for the average homeowner who wants piece of mind. The alarm is SUPER LOUD, so no issues hearing it from anywhere in the house. There is no monthly cost, but if you want more features (like arming/disarming remotely) you'll need to pay a monthly or annual subscription.

This alarm system has been critical to my home security. It was very easy to set up, use, administrate, everything about it is spot on, the only thing I don’t like about it is the 30 second delay minimum they have in entering the home, they should set it out to be five or 10 seconds. 30 seconds is far too long, people can get off with a lot of stuff before the alarm sounds, a lot of people have been complaining about this for a long time, but I don’t see RING fixing it as of yet!

We couldn’t be happier with the Ring Alarm Security Kit (2nd Gen)! Setup was quick, and the sleek design looks great in our home. The app notifications give us peace of mind wherever we are, and the alarm is powerful and responsive. Integrates perfectly with Alexa, adding convenience and extra security. Highly recommend this affordable and reliable home security solution!

Great product easy to install and an affordable price
KTech1 Posted
I absolutely love this system. Super easy to set up. User interface friendly. Very sleek and blends into my decor. My only complaint And feedback would be I’d wish you could get an additional siren just as loud as the main unit. The main unit is around 104dbs. And believe It’s loud but I’d just like to have an extra siren outside or even the basement. To wrap up my summary I’d absolutely recommend this product to anyone.

I was looking for a security system that was easy to set up and inexpensive. This ring system checks all of the boxes. It’s only $10/month for service and can be linked to all of my ring cameras and doorbells.

Easy setup and easy to use. Ring makes it so simple compared to other systems that claim to be simple

I left ADT for this amazing product. East to setup and much cheaper than ADT,
