Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would recommend this item for any house, it captures pictures very well. It helps the security around the neighborhood.

I rate this system good, but not great. I had purchased, installed, and used a Simplisafe system at my previous residence for a couple years, so I have a good reference for comparison, as this system is a pretty close competitor in style and price point. 1. Affordability: Ring wins this one. I would say this and the Simplisafe system, when purchased during promotions or sales, seem to be close enough in price for the initial purchase that I didn't see a big difference there. The simplisafe system does provide the ability to create a more custom set of sensors in the initial purchase and get better pricing with the initial purchase, whereas Ring pretty much as set bundles, and then you have to pay normal pricing for any other items a la carte. However, post-purchase, if you have the subscription with Ring, you get a nice discount on additional accessories, which is much better than Simplisafe, which gives pretty much zero price breaks outside of when purchasing a new system with base station. Ring wins for sure when paying for monitoring; their monthly rate is just notably less expensive. Hopefully it's as good! 2. Completeness: Simplisafe by a small margin. The Simplisafe system has sensors that do not exist with ring, such as the glass break sensor, which was a bit disappointing. However, the Ring system has a very nice retrofit kit that allows tying in existing wired sensors; that was a big part of why I decided to give Ring a try. It's overpriced for what it is, but I did get the discount for having a paid Ring subscription set up before buying it, which helped a bit. It was very easy to install and get working, and was a much better solution than adding a bunch of wireless sensors to doors and windows that already had wired sensors integrated in the frames. The reason I still say Simplisafe wins is due to the missing specialized security sensors that almost any other security system includes. 4. Interoperability: Ring wins this one, hands-down. Their app is better and they have better compatibility with 3rd party vendors. Simplisafe is too closed. 5. Usability: Tie. Simplisafe has a better keypad. It's antiquated in some ways with its throwback style display, but at least it has a display. The ring 2nd gen keypad has no indicators on it whatsoever. Additionally, the functionality, requiring the input of a PIN to change from any mode to any mode, is a bit silly. The Simplisafe system only requires a PIN to switch from an armed mode to a disarmed mode. I shouldn't need a PIN to switch from disarmed to an armed state. I also should be able to glance at the keypad, or at worst, press a button on it, to get feedback as to what mode the system is on. The base station is the only thing with an indicator, and I don't keep the base station in a visible location; I don't consider it a fashion statement in my home. Additionally, the base station is the only place where there is a speaker for letting me know the system is counting down. This is also frustrating, as I have had a couple of false alarms due to not realizing the system was counting down because I simply couldn't hear it. All that said, Simplisafe's app is not as feature-rich as the Ring app, so Ring maintains a tie in this category for that reason alone. I really wish Ring would make the keypad a little more usable, though. So, while Ring won in a head-to-head with Simplisafe from my perspective, it still has room to improve. It needs a more complete set of sensors akin to that offered by Simplisafe, and they still have a good bit of work to do on the camera software motion detection, as well as giving me the ability to set more specific customizations for recording behavior.

Excellent system. Have been using it for about 6 months now and it hasn't had any issues. Am using it in a small business and rings team has been excellent. Wish some sensors had hardwired power instead of battery though.

Great product Great price. Easy to setup. Recommend this product

After a research, i found this product as a practical and affordable option amoung all other security Systems. There are many compatible accessories for this product except a door lock system.

Always had Ring cameras and liked seeing my house while away. Finally got the Ring home alarm system and so happy I did, no worries leaving dogs home alone and adding I’m adding 2 smoke/carbon monoxide alarms compatible with Ring, only $41 a piece, peace of mind for $82, absolutely!!!! Geek squad guys installed everything and did a great job! Note, if you want installation select that when you buy your system. Requesting installation after you already purchased you will be charged jnstead of it being free with purchase.

Ring did a great job on this system. I had a problem with the stick camera and called ring they had a new camera out there next day. Easy to use and easy to add other parts to the system

Super easy to set up & install. I haven't used the key pad much since you can do everything from the app, but the Ring security system has provided me with a lot of peace of mind as a single woman living alone.

Bought it as a gift works great easy to fix, it was a great deal.

I now have 4 AirBnB's wired with the Ring system and all I can say is Nest sucks. This system only costs $100 a year per home!!! This includes monitoring and video playback!!! By far the best value in security!

Works great with our existing system. We also appreciated the customer supprt while in the store.

This is the second ring system I installed. Piece of cake!

This is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life I am a single mother of two kids and I live by myself and when I tell you that I feel so secure it is not begin to explain how comfortable I am sleeping in my own home

After doing some research, I purchased this combo and did not disappoint... it dies everything as described and the purchased price was excellent

After getting my bike stolen we decided to add some security to the house. The ring system seemed to good to be true for the price. After reading many positive reviews we bought it and the ease of use, app, and setup make it all worth it.

Awesome product works well and happy I got it………..
