Alarm 5-Piece Kit (newest model), Wireless smart home or business security system, expandable, easy setup, Mobile App Control, 24/7 Professional Monitoring, Alexa Compatible

My electric bike was stolen from my backyard. The thieves jumped my locked gate, went through the side gate then took the bike from a closed storage shed. I had thought about an alarm system but had put it off due to cost. Well, my Ring kit (5-piece) cost a heck of a lot less than my replacement bike - lesson learned. On to my review... I purchased the 5-piece refurbished Ring system. I've always had great luck with Amazon's refurbished electronics. Added was an Outdoor Gate Sensor and an Outdoor Blink Camera (I already have a Blink doorbell). The setup was pretty simple - I just took my time and followed the guides. The look of the components is modern and clean. I incorporated the base unit into one of my gallery walls. The ring changes color so I always know the state of the system and it looks cool. I included the keypad as part of a vignette by my front door. The door sensors are mounted toward the top of each door frame and pretty much blend in. I chose not to install window sensors for now. I have manual window locks because of my A/C system. I've tested the siren (it's in the base unit) and it is super loud - very effective. Arming and disarming the system from the app, Alexa, and the keypad is very simple. All systems are a go LOL! I'll be installing the gate sensor today but have already tested it and it works great. There is a range extender included but it looks like I won't need it. It would be nice if Ring would include a template to wall mount the base unit. The mounting holes on the back are pretty awkward to work with. I used Gorilla Tape to mount it rather than messing with the screw mount. I haven't decided on a subscription plan yet so I'm self-monitoring for now. Yard signs are available separately, which I'll be purchasing as an additional deterrent.

I purchased this after having xfinity Home for 6 years. I got tired of them raising my rates and playing with contracts. I love the new Ring system. I also purchased a peephole cam and interior camera. The system is VERY easy to install. I can't believe Comcast forces a $99 install fee for their similar system to install. Everything worked as it should out of the box. The door sensors are a little larger than most but they have some give on spacing and didn't have any problems. The system itself let's you setup multiple users. I have it notify me on my phone each time my door opens and closes but this can be enabled/disabled. There are no rules options as far as I can see like I had with my last provider (i.e. Automatic arm the system at X time in case I forgot). Very excited about the $10/month price tag. I purchased some cheap smart bulbs on Amazon and have Ring patched in with them via Alexa. So in the middle of the night if my entry door open, I have the kitchen lights turn on blue for a few minutes. Early in the morning when the motion detector detects motion, the kitchen lights turn on white dim until the front door opens and I leave for work. When someone comes home during the day and disarms the alarm, my kitchen lights turn on and turn off after 30 minutes of no motion. This is all custom settings but using the Ring alarm sensors to trigger Alexa rules. Very hdlpful. Love this system.

Me and my wife recently moved into a new house and were scouting for home security systems and setups. We had a small ring doorbell before the house and enjoyed the ease of use through the app and notifications that the ring gave us whenever motion was alerted. We decided to buy this ring kit instead of subscribing to a full security service for the price and performance of our last ring product and were so happy that we did. These products have been amazing for the contact sensors for our doors and alarm system and base station for the overall protection of our house.

I really enjoy this system, as it allows you to start with a smaller system and expand as needed. So far I've been able to use it for an apartment, and when I moved into my new home it could come with me! It was able to be expanded to fit my new house with all sorts of new sensors, integration with my garage door opener, and even smoke alarms. For the annual fee, it is cheaper than ADT by a long shot so I think this is a great value. It also provides cellular backup, so my home is safe even during power outages for days. The Ring app has only added features over the years and I have to say I'm very impressed by the entire package.
