    You get notification on phone whenever alarm is armed or in armed, and you can arm and disarm. It is surprisingly loud - set it off at 6am and scared the s**t out of me. Just plan on buying extra sensors for doors and windows - it only came with 1 or 2.

    Great system. Easily exceeds their competition in about every area. No 4 minute delay between every recording segment like a major competitor. Installer was personable, knowledgeable and quick. I would highly recommend this system to anyone.

    Unlike some home security systems, It comes with two key pads, tow motion sensors, and three door sensors. The monthly monitoring fee is very inexpensive so you can afford to protect your home without breaking your wallet like other home security systems.

    A Fabulous system! After much research, thought and a lot of questions with various companies (ADT) which proved to be way to expensive as well as local security companies that were equally expensive, ring has proven to be well worth the cost and setup.

    I love almost everything about this alarm system with the exception of no ability to mute the siren while armed. I was hoping to be able to arm the sytem to self monitor my house and not necessarily blare a siren whenever someone opened a door. I wanted to just activate a camera when the downstairs door opens. Other than that its great

    I like it and have a fallback function so if you lose your internet connection it comes with backup cell data and batteries so it will stay connected to the RING company so keep it working without internet and power.

    Love this security system. It certainly gives me peace of mind whether I am home or away from the house. I bought additional stick-up cameras to complement it.

    I love this system so much, I had to upgrade it even more for max efficiency. As someone who had ADT, I love this system. does everything the expensive systems do but with such a low monitoring price. I can't recommend this system enough.

    It takes about 15-20 minutes to completely set up (including the app). The siren is way louder than expected, which is great! The motion detectors work well. The door contacts could be smaller, but they get the job done. Really good system.

    This is being used outside of the US and works as a basic alarm system with push notifications and email notification. Panic alarm and siren works as expected. Installs in 15 to 30 mins based on amount of components purchased.

    This security system allows me to control every aspect with no long term contracts. Additionally, works as a hub with Zwave so now I can control my front door lock. Customer service is very helpful if you have any questions during setup.
