    I’ve had this up for almost a month now. Very easy to install. If you have cats on the heavier side, be sure to mount the motion sensor pretty high. My cat (18lbs) kept setting it off when it was around 5 feet high, once I moved it to about 7 feet it stopped triggering.

    Love this ring system. I did purchase plus plan to have the actual dispatch when my alarm triggers but love that I’m actually able to check through an app everything that’s happening in my home from detecting motion and knowing when doors are opening/closing

    For the beginner it will take some time to understand and put the device in right place, back and forth read manual or call help center, then your security alarm system works properly. I gave 4stars because first face difficulty install door sensor because door panel and trim not even, one higher one lower, then I call customer service, said just lineup magnetic line you all set.

    This was a great purchase that’s brings us peace of mind. All of our windows and doors downstairs are on the alarm and we can control the alarm from our phone. We have since added outdoor cameras and everything works well together.

    I found myself needing a new alarm after Lowes isis went out of business. Setting up was so easy compared to isis. There support staff is top notch. I even have the door bell and everything interferes well. I do wish it would work with my Seaver’s thermostat.

    Works great for the purpose intended. It is loud enough to let me know when someone enters and exits the house. Also neighbor updates are great too. They give us information about what might Have occurred in nearby neighborhoods.
