Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Definitely Worth it! I love Ring Alarm so much! I also have a Ring Doorbell, so this is a great addition to our household. Five Stars

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

My entire home, yard and now inside our home is under Rings protection and monitoring thanks to the 8-piece Ring security kit. Easy to set up and to avoid a mis-step, Read first the directions for set up. It has an order to follow and if you pull tabs before the device is needed, it will make it a bit confusing to set up plus may cause the loud alarm to sound... Base station is the brain, keypad is the controller, extender helps keep connected those further away sensors and the entire system is controlled either by the unit keypad or by the Ring app. The 24/7 monitoring is included in my plan and can be operated by Alexa. Relatively inexpensive and you can grow the system to fit your needs. I really like that it has its own cellular backup and internal rechargeable batteries in case the power fails you are still protected. Easy to use and set up, basically can run itself via the Ring app and keeps you informed of events that occur in and around your home. With my Ring cams, doorbells and security system all in place, not to mention the 24/7 monitoring, crime may not be stopped but possibly deterred or at least capture the event(s) and will notify the proper authorities if and when events do happen. You have to protect your home and family the best you can, and this is just another layer for us...

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)

My second Ring alarm that I bought for another location. Love the addition of the camera and the 2 gen is a nice improvement over the original that I have. You really can’t beat this for a very good alarm system at a fraction of the cost compared to the alarm companies. Sorry I love small business but the professional monitoring is a third of what they are charging and the one I was dealing with in Florida are outright thieves. And the monitoring in my experience is top rate.

The system was easy to set up and works well. I’m very satisfied

Ended up purchasing this after I had an Arlo camera that I was told comes with free cloud recording for 7 days......the free part ends after a trial subscription. So comparing $3 a month for one camera, versus $10 a month or $100 dollars a year for multiple cameras with 60 days of recording the choice was simple.....and on top of recordings we have 24/7 monitoring of our home. I opted to buy some smoke/CO detectors that would mesh with the Ring alarm system. Money well spent. We also added the flood/freeze sensors. I’m not super technically advanced, maybe about average. Installation and set was easy. The hardware as well as the app are super user friendly and it’s simple to expand your system to whatever level of coverage you want. Bang for the buck and what you actually get for options are outstanding. Wasn’t planning on getting a system this big, but with the competitive pricing of add ons and ease of installation, it was an easy choice. Now our home has several cameras, we have the security that if someone did try and break in the siren would sound and if we were not home, local law enforcement would be dispatched. In addition, the built in cellular back up that costs nothing extra is real peace of mind. If power is down or we loose internet for whatever reason, the alarm and all sensors still work.....cameras would be down with internet or power loss, but the core of the security system along with flood sensors and smoke/co detectors would still operate. We plan on adding a few ring doorbells and maybe some additional cameras in the future. The only downside to the Ring system, is most of their cameras have a limited temperature range......where we live it gets extremely cold (-41 degrees Fahrenheit actual temp the other morning)......so we still have our hardwired outdoor camera system that’s rated to -40. It would be awesome if there was a way to integrate our existing hardwired cameras into the Ring system. Would highly recommend this if your looking for a reliable, easy to use security system that won’t candy an arm and a leg to have monitored.

System installed by Geek Squad, as I belonged to it, but could be done by someone with skill to read and understand manual and take time to do it. System has modular kits you can start with as is or add to items and accessories to fit your home needs. Easy operation from keypad or smart phone and can be monitored by agency to at for you if you don't or can't act at the moment. Great products at great price.

Very easy to set up. I was a bit skeptical at first but I’m happy I got this alarm system. It’s nice to have professional monitoring at a price I don’t think is too expensive for the services you receive.

I had ring doorbells. I added this to get insurance break. It works well. Set up is easy. I am glad it includes 5 days of practice for alarming. I only wish it had a better way to ensure that my cat will not trigger motion; it has three settings; I just wish the motion detector worked like the doorbell camera with detection areas visible.

If you are looking for a simple to use, simple to set up security set up then the Ring alarm system might be for you. I shopped around for systems, even receiving ADT’s Blue system before sending it back. I chose the Ring system mostly because it doesn’t require you to have a monthly service. Buyer Beware: If you do not pay for Ring’s monthly service you lose quite a few desirable options. Read the fine print. Set up is a breeze! However, let me forewarn you. The wireless camera batteries take FOREVER to charge. Like 5-10 hours. If you buy a camera, buy extra batteries or a solar panel to go with it. The sticky tape wore out on my motion sensor within the first two months. Luckily nothing broke but you may want to purchase stronger, 3M double sided tape before sticking it to the wall. I hate writing reviews but hope this helps someone out there trying to decide. If you do buy it don’t blame me if you are unhappy with it. Cheers!

Helps provide a sense of security for your home. I like that it comes in a kit and that there are 3 different levels of plans for it. The price is worth it when compared to other security sets. The items are easy to use and easy to understand while looking at your app. I feel safe each time I leave my house because of this security 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.

Simple installation without any complications. I’ve installed Simplisafe for my mother but chose Ring Alarm for my house since I already had a Ring camera. Ring was honestly easier to install and setup. I really like the price for the monitoring $100 for the year and don’t have to pay for the camera separately so that saves $36/ yr making the monitoring a true bargain. Overall a great system for a great price.

Easy to setup and operate… did not have any issues with this product

The system is just fine. It works, it isn't terribly hard to set up the base station. The kit includes a pile of stuff, including a Z-Wave extender (that's ultra not clear in the product description, this is not a general WiFi extender, it is used to extend the network Ring uses to work). I was able to add my Schlage smart locks fairly easily (except Ring thinks it knows better than you, it erases all the codes in your lock - a really bad thing for it to do). One lock is a Connect - can control everything through the app, locking / un locking and lock status. The other is an older key pad that sends the activate code to the lock and allows manual turning of the lock. Except there is no lock / un lock status in the app. MyQ garage door opener, works a lot less well with the app. Basically you get a door status and then a link that opens the MyQ app to activate the door. I bought this to manage my door locks, and it does that job. If you are buying this as a real live security system, you have to subscribe to the professional monitoring - right now $10 per month. Ring works really hard to get you to buy that protect plus subscription (notice is always present at the bottom of the app, and default when you try to subscribe). They manage to make the plans confusing, protect is video recording for the doorbell. Protect Plus is the professional monitoring and video recording. I absolutely hate the whole Ring neighborhood subsystem. It's frankly worse than NextDoor. I get more stupid announcements about coyotes and fox on the loose - Protect Your Children!!!!! There's no way to get rid of those announcements, or screen them.

Had this ring 2 alarm system for about a month now. The sensors are smaller, same with the key pad and speaker. Works the same as the one we had previously only downside is with this one we didn't get two key pads like the first gen model had. It's nicer than everything is smaller and we were able to sync them up with the gen 1 sensors as well. Connecting to the app works the same as well.

This system is easy to install and use! We had the ring doorbell for sometime so we’re familiar with the app which is pretty straightforward. The alarm was installed in 20 minutes. The sticker on the window/ door monitors are also very sturdy so will not fall or damage paint. It’s also great that you can turn on and off the alarm using either a keypad or your phone.

Easy set up as my husband set up recently. Directions were easy to comprehend or complete as directions these days are missing things, so it didn't take as long as thought. Being white was great since our home is white so it blends in. Feeling more secure and no added cost of monthly bills if you had a company monitor. Highly recommend for these above statements.
