Ring Alarm 5-Piece Kit – Wireless Smart Home Security System | Expandable | Easy Setup | Mobile App Control | 24/7 Professional Monitoring | Alexa Compatible

We bought a home a few months ago and our home insurance required that we have a home security system. We completely forgot to get something set up and our agent reminded us that we needed on ASAP.I ordered this kit after she emailed me in the morning, around 10am, it shipped to my house at 2pm, and arrived around 5pm.I set everything up in about an hour and had the security certificate to my insurance agent by the end of the day.Cherry on top: Everything integrated seamlessly with Alexa.WOW. That was truly a magical and 10/10 experience from start to finish.

I've had this for a couple of months now and it works great! Super easy to set up, connects fine to the wifi and even has cellular backup and battery backup incase the power goes out! The only problem i had was that when i first unboxed it the battery had a little short in the connection, I was able to get the panel on the back of the hub open and pushed the battery connector back into place and it has worked fine since.

I moved my system from my house to my RV when I went full time. This system is awesome with maybe a quirk here or there. I’d recommend getting the solar setup for anything outside. If not you’ll be changing batteries constantly.I bought the panic button, motion detector , 5 cameras, door bell, freeze sensor, range extender and chimes equaling 31 items just on the ring, not including the robot vacuums, robot litter box, 5 Sonos speakers, 4 Alexa, Apple Home pod, 12 Emporia wireless plugs for electric monitoring, 6 lifx bulbs, 3 yard wireless lights, laptop, phone and everything else I have.All of this in my RV. The people that say this system doesn’t work, has bad signal or blah blah blah or doesn’t know what they’re doing or don’t have the wifi to handle all the components.I occasionally have a sensor that messes up but other than that all this is on my 1 T-Mobile home internet. Being in IT for 30 years I know that most of the modems only have the capacity to connect limited devices. I’ve always had to find a modem that handles all my stuff.If you having trouble with any of your wifi gadgets look at your system as that’s likely the problem.This system connect easily and works with very little interaction from me.

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.
