    Replaced my old outdated system with this. It was a easy install and works well. The money it saves a month compared to a security service is over $50 for me.

    Was super easy to set up & works as well as one would hope. Ended up buying more pieces & a camera later, and the install process for all of it is quite smooth. Only down side is the neighborhood portion of it where there's a community or Ring owners that share what's happening around your neighborhood. So instantly you become much more aware of what's happening around you and become much more paranoid... Ignorance is bliss sometimes...

    This system is easy and works well, also merges well with any echo devices you have. Some folks complain about no glass breakage sensors, that is covered by echo devices which listen for glass break or smoke alarm sounding. Works with cell if power goes out at your house for up to 24 hrs. Makes me & wife feels better when home or gone. Ring monitors for $100 per year. Great system!

    Best upgrade from just the doorbell

    Looking at the packaging and what needs to be installed seemed intimidating at first, but really the only time consuming aspect of this entire install was tweaking the settings afterwards to your liking. Setting up the base was a breeze, plug in, connect to the network, then the rest of the setup will guide you on each component that came included with your kit. For each component it was, pull the battery tab, place the sensor (with directions), and test....rinse, repeat. Shared users will need to be added with their own unique code. If you have a Z-wave lock, specifically a schlage, you can even add that to your Ring Alarm and have the same codes sync up (unlock door with code, disarm system). You can even assign guess access to your door and alarm without guests having access to your settings. If you had other z-wave devices you want Ring to monitor, you will need to unenroll them from their previous hub to the Ring Alarm. We did that for our Fire Alarms and Water Sensors. It's nice to hear and get notifications if doors open, and if you have Alexa, s/he can even show you the doorbell and arm your system without having to open the app. If there is a downside, there are two, but not deal breakers: - Set Schedule for arming/disarming the system - Ability to silence the "Arm/Disarm" voice during quiet hours Overall, this was an excellent investment, and for 100 bucks a year (or 10 per month), having all the components covered is worth the added security. Speaking of, when you enroll in the plus program, you have the option to have professional monitoring or self monitoring. You can switch back and forth when needed. Professional will get a hold of you if an alarm goes off and act as a proxy..even gives out duress codes if needed.

    Mixed reviews on this product. Installation was very easy, however one of the sensors kept killing the batteries so I had to replace it. Programing is fairly simple but the verdict is still out with the keypad.

      Hi Ringalarm.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand the importance of having a solid charge on your Ring Alarm 8-Piece Security Kit so that you are able to have a longer time between charge cycles.

We are here to provide you with some education to resolve the battery life issue you mentioned in your review.

    So far so good. I really like my Ring security system. Installing it was a breeze…the app practically did everything for me. Please note that when you purchase a kit like this the install wants every part turned on and installed. For example I didn’t want the motion sensor, but it came with the kit and the install wasn’t complete until I turned it on. It’s sitting in a blackout box so that it won’t set off (plus I turned off all its alerts so hopefully no mis-fires).

    Switched from ADT and I'm Happy!

    I made the switch from ADT Pulse. I was paying $60+ monthly for monitoring ($700+ yearly). I purchased some add on components (smoke, CO2, additional siren, and motion sensor. I already have Ring cameras so the $100 year fee is a great deal for monitoring. Bottom line.., easy to set up, fully functional, and the monitoring is a fraction of the cost. For someone like me, this pays for it's self in less than a year.

    Ring alarm is one of the most impressive buys I’ve made. I was debating whether I wanted to install it myself. It was sooooo easy to set up. The app walks you through every step of setup. I can not over emphasize how easy this was to setup. I’ve never seen better video directions and step by step directions for any product ever. Impressed with every aspect of the system and app. You can not go wrong with this buy. If I can set this up then the overwhelming majority of people could do it.
