    Super easy to install and to connect contact and motion sensors. So far I have no complaints. The main hub even has a red and green light to remind you when the system is armed or not. Very happy with the Ring alarm!

    If u are looking for a Alarm System you can go wrong with the Ring Alarm. Easy to use easy to install it takes like 20 min to install everything. This one is better than Nest Protect and SimpliSafe on my opinion.

    Super user friendly design, easy to set up even if you don’t have a drill! The interface is really easy to arm and disarm. Also, the neighbor app integrated into the ring app is really nice.

    Super easy installation, along with the ease of use with the Ring Security App makes this home Security a no brained. I had to purchase additional senors to cover my house. Everything works as it should. Love it.

    I love how easy this was to setup. Took less than 10 minutes and everything was up and running. I also like that you can control everything from your phone so it makes arming and disarming a breeze.

    I purchased SimpliSafe first because of the sale. I had to return it because the customer service and response to alarm was so terrible. Ring is the complete opposite. Works like it should and easy.

    Bought this security system for my mom and I'm very happy with the purchase. She had Best Buy come and install, and they removed all of her old equipment and get her set up with this new system. So far, we are pleased with it. I love that we don't have to pay a monthly fee for maintenance.

    So much cheaper than a monthly subscription. Easy to install and I use it nightly. I pay for the subscription once a year and feel like I am taken care of. I love the neighborhood updates.

    From door bells too alarms, Ring has you covered. Can’t say enough about this setup that would serve it correctly. A top 10 product IMO. From its ease of use too the way the app works. Thumbs up!

    Great alarm system, installation was easy and quick. They are so many settings to customize it to your liking. Only one draw back, as of this post I wish that it was Home-Kit enabled.

    Fantastic DIY security system. I used all 3M strips to avoid screwing everything in. Held up without issue. I love how everything is customization in the app and this is so much cheaper at $10/month for professional monitoring vs. >$100/month for alarm system companies
