    Got this after cancelling ADT (our home had it when we purchased it) This was super easy to install, no monthly fees, and customer service is super helpful if you have questions/problems. Pays for itself in a year then saves you hundreds a year due to no costly monthly fees. I’ll never go back to another security company and we’re taking this with us when we move and will put back the ADT stuff when we move lol

    I researched several security systems before deciding on Ring. I was down to Ring and SimpliSafe but ultimately went with Ring based on the cheaper monitoring costs and the ability for the system to be fully functional via the Ring app without subscribing to monitoring service. The one thing Ring doesn’t have that SimpliSafe does is an audible glass break sensor. You are able to use Echo dots for this function, I just don’t know how well they work. Setup was very easy!

    Very easy install. Easy to understand instructions. Alarm could be louder. The adhesive on the contacts will not stick if surface isn’t completely clean. Then the contact is no longer any good. I love the Ring App and the ability to arm/disarm remotely.

    This is a great buy and very easy to use and set up. I was surprised how easy it was to set up and very happy about it. I did have to buy some double sided tape for one of the sensors. It was totally my fault for putting them together too far apart on the garage door. I had to pull it off and adjust it but the original tape didn’t work. All is good now.

    I was worried buying this that it wouldn’t be apartment friendly but it absolutely is and works so well. I’m not worried anymore while I’m home alone or leaving my animals alone . The keypad had an extremely long battery life and the app is very easy to use . All the different parts are easy to setup and I had no issues at all .

    We have the first gen security system and love it. Bought this one as a gift for my buddy who just moved into there new home. They love it! It’s easy to set up and easy to use. They have little ones so it’s even helped with adding additional sensors to monitor which doors open by identifying each sensor to a unique chirp.

    I bought ring security system at best buy and been using it for one week now and my experience with ring has been excellent. It was easy to setup and link base station with all the sensors. The ring phone app pretty much is a guide helping you all the way during the setup to completion. We have tried the siren and its really loud so that neighbors could also hear it. Go ring! Go security!

    This is a very simple setup. I love the settings and ease of app. Ring is a great company and give you confidence in your home security. You can set your alarm from the app just in case you forget to set it before you leave. I have their wireless cameras and doorbell and now I have the whole system with their alarm system. Don’t waste your time with other company’s I’ve tried and no one compares!

    I purchased the 8-piece set with outdoor cameras with flood lights and an indoor camera with the battery. The installation process is a piece of cake!! The set up process literally holds your hand all the way through getting it set up to your like and is very user friendly. Only thing I had an issue with (which was a quick fix), you have to select the doors that you use to exit as your Main Door to not set off the alarm upon exit or entry with the delay on.

    Super easy to install just follow the step by step instructions on the app! I was shocked at how easy this was to get up & running. Worked beautifully immediately! Even with the home setting opening of the doors still sets off a pleasant chime; or was perfect for us as we were monitoring doors to keep a dementia patient from wandering. Alerting is to potential intrusion efforts was a great bonus. Will worth the money & potential home owners insurance discount.
