    You can't really beat the price for what you get. The cost of a security system is really about the monitoring service that supports it, and Ring uses a highly rated service for a very modest price. I don't use my security system as my home automation, so the limits there don't bother me.

    We really like the system. We don’t feel so vulnerable and can take measures to get the criminals who want to invade you home and steal your belongings. Thanks for this type of system.

    I bought this as a replacement to my very expensive alarm company service. It works flawlessly with my ring cameras. $100 a year for monitoring plus all the cameras I want is a steal. Highly recommend

    Bought this for a small storefront. The installation was easy and quick. The only reason for the 4 star and not 5 is that the camera does not synch with the alarm when armed, must be activated separately. Other than that, probably going to get the monthly monitoring as well.

    This does everything I need without paying the big companies inflated monitoring fees. Easy to install. Adding other Ring components is a breeze. When I did have an issue (my fault), Customer Service was extremely helpful and easy to work with. I would highly recommend.

    Great system does what it's supposed to do. Pretty simple install and setup but it will take quite a while to get it all done. Operationally I've had no problems for the first 3 months I've had it so far. I was a bit worried by other reviews . This has been easy and working good for me .

    Can't beat the cost vs value with this security system. Devices are dated such as some sensors which look more sleeker with other systems. Would be nice if they updated the keypad to be digital and if the batteries lasted longer with the control pad. Customer service more a 3+ star rating.

    I love the Ring. We started out with ADT and got the Ring doorbell free. I have now switched the whole house to the Ring. The security system is very easy to set up and so are the cameras.

    So after almost a month with this security system I can tell you it was super easy to install and seems to work well. Hoping never to need to find out how well it protects against burglars.

    We reviewed a number of home security systems before purchasing. Although, a fairly new system, compared to others out there, we feel we made the best choice for us. We started with an in home consultation and, after deciding on the Ring system, also scheduled Best Buy do our installation. Btw- This system is very user friendly if you chose to install yourself. We did sign up for a yearly monitoring program (after 30 days free trial) but there are other options available. We’ve had the system about 6 weeks and are extremely pleased. We love the versatility of the system and the fact that we can add on if desired. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Ring Home Security for your home!

    I really like that I can get push notifications on my phone about the alarm changing from disarmed to armed/armed and home etc. I like knowing that I can see when it is changed and determine if it should have been or not. I like the communication the alarm has between sensors and the customization of having the alarm go off right away or delayed so you can enter quietly before it fully going off. The siren is indeed loud and will make someone jump, it made my heart race just testing it out. I only had troubles connecting it to the internet, but that was because I had firewalls on my modem that were blocking it from connecting properly. Customer service was friendly and very helpful!

    Easy install! Just remember to watch the install videos. It shows you step by step! Make sure you sign up for monitor service. You get a extra year of warranty and 10% off when by more devices.
