    I bought this for my business, the install was super easy. I’m not a fan of the plug in, but it’s better than replacing batteries constantly.

    Great Ring and Alexa Show prices, but support varied quite widely. Ensure that the Best Buy person actually knows what they are talking about. This took me three trips...and I live 40 minutes away. Additionally, there were issues getting the installation date set and only part of the system was installed. I wanted someone to do it since my workload was high, but should have just done the install myself. Geek Squad can only do the low voltage stuff so exterior wired lights are not within their scope. As far as Ring goes, it is pretty easy to install, but really comes down to trial and error for the settings. Had one bad motion detector but Ring changed that out. Overall, satisfied, but determining the right equipment bill of material and setting the installation was painful.

    This was a replacement to my built-in home security system that was purchased as part of my house. That system needed to be upgraded and was going to cost north of $350 in addition to a monthly monitoring fee of $40/month. I found this device and after hearing from others, took the plunge and I'm not regretting it. This gives the same peace of mind as other security systems at a cheaper cost, especially that monitoring fee of $100/year, which includes unlimited cameras and 60 days of video storage. Get this device.
