              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this so my wife would feel better when I'm gone. It's easy to setup and looks neat. No big pieces that is an eyesore. I like that you can add pieces like extra for windows or even a doorbell. Nice.

                    45 minute install start to finish. I recommend the HDX alcohol wipes to clean surfaces and just consider that the dual sided tape is very sticky the first time. IF you need to relocate it, wipe the tape with the alcohol wipe to clean it and it’ll become tacky again. I installed the magnetic closures right-angle and straight on and both work easily. The ring system is incredibly easy to configure and every device has a QR code and corresponding video to explain the process in-app. The QR codes are both printed on the cards in the package and on the device itself. Strongly recommend the Ring skill with Alexa and the Ring mobile app for when you’re on the go. I have the ring app on Apple Watch and that shows a still image of the cameras and vibrates when sensing occurs. Alexa can call out custom messages and even sound a dog bark when you’re away. Nice touch!

                      very flexible system
                      we purchased this system about 18 months ago at our old house. really like the idea of less expensive monitoring and the ability to expand to include cameras. when we sold our old house I removed the system and installed it on our new house. very simple. the only issue is that it does disconnect from the wifi from time to time. I have built a man cave about 200 feet behind my house and plan to add another system back there. I wish I could just add another keypad and door sensor, but the wifi is weak out there. since I did rum cat6 data lines when I built the building I will set it up on its own until I am able to get the wifi to reach. also, really like being able to look at the cameras when the alarm does go off to determine if it is legitimate or not. great investment.

                          Easy setup
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought that a useful review might be how user friendly the alarm set actually is. The system is easy to set up. I downloaded the app from the internet and used the included instructions. I have poor internet service and was unsure if I could get the system to work. I can say it works as described even with my limited internet abilities. We only have WiFi in our home with an Att mobile hotspot. Our phones don’t work well at times. The alarm system does work for our. It does setup and work fairly easily. I do it all from my phone. Arm and disarm are no problem. I do get alerts to my phone when the WiFi network is lost. I will say it is a pretty user friendly system.

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never really every used a security system, so I was excited to get this and try it out. What I will say, is the instructions are a little hard to understand. But overall it was very easy to install. I really like the feature of the sensors. Its a great starter kit.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ring Alarm system gives peace of mind. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The app is very useful. The base unit and accessories are nice looking and unobtrusive. It's great that it can be programmed the way you want it to be. Peace of mind whether you're home or away.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system was super easy to set up with our existing Ring doorbell, I was able to do the set up without any complications. It is great for anyone just wanting a basic alarm system. There is a bit of a delay in alerting but that might have more to do with my Wifi connection or Cloud component and not the system. I do like that this can connect to Alexa too. This particular system might be best for an apartment or smaller house. After years of being stuck in a contract with Vivant this was a great choice for way less! We will be adding additional cameras.

                                        Simple To Install
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy product to install. Excellent choice to satisfy the most basic home security needs even with the un-monitored option. Only reason this did not get 5 stars is due to the delay in alerting. All other aspects are good. When you trip any of the devices - Ring Doorbell, motion sensor, door trip, etc., it takes at least 10-15 seconds before the alert hits the app and let's you know. In the event of a break in, that's potentially a lifetime. Not sure if it has to do with the cloud component, but highly suspect it is. If that's the case, Ring should offer a small local storage option that then moves the data to the cloud so they can continue to make their money by forcing you to sign up for their cloud service option. When it comes to home security, I want to know the instant movement is picked-up so I have time to react to the situation. This much of a delay doesn't meet that mark. I could use cans and a string and get better results. So if you're looking for real time, move on. If near real time works for you and a delay is acceptable, this is a great option. I also had to purchase Alexa as the Ring system doesn't support Google Nest.

                                        Hello Jill S, We know how important it is to have peace of mind when it comes to your home security. Your Ring Alarm is intended to provide this for you. Please know that we are here to assist and are confident that we can find you a resolution in a timely manner. The motion detectors for your Ring Alarm system are a crucial part of the Ring of Security around your home. The Ring Alarm Motion Detector is designed to monitor a room or area inside your home for heat and movement. When armed, the Motion detector will trigger your Ring Alarm when heat and movement are detected. Below are some tips that can help: * Room - For use in rooms that do not have or face entry doors. With this setting, Ring Alarm will sound immediately when motion is detected when armed. (No entry delay is available with this setting.) * Entryway - For use in rooms, hallways, and other areas where your Main Doors are within the range of view. When Arming in Away mode, you have a customizable Exit Delay that allows you to exit as well as an entry delay that gives you time to enter and disarm Ring Alarm. *How to setup and install a Motion Detector:* 1. Make sure your Ring Alarm is disarmed. 2. In the Ring app, tap Menu, then tap Set Up a Device, then tap Security Devices, then tap Sensors, and tap Motion Detector. 3. Follow the in-app instructions to complete setup. 4. Install the device in your home. -- (1st gen) Install the included mounting bracket onto the back of the Motion Detector.-- (2nd gen) Motion Detector does not have a mounting bracket. Mounting tape can be found on the back of Detector. 5. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry before peeling the backing off of the adhesive strip. 6. The Motion Detector should be installed at the correct height to provide the best coverage. -- Motion Detector (1st gen) should be installed at 7' high -- Motion Detector (2nd gen) should be installed at 7'6" high 7. Firmly press and hold the Motion Detector into place to ensure it is securely mounted.

                                            Love it.
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always had a ring doorbell, but after buying a house I knew I needed something more. The system was very easy to pair with my existing account. The entry sensors are a nice touch with a chime that is noticeable but not annoying. The system is easy to pair with phone and set alarms once I leave.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I thought what I was getting was a whole system with cameras and all but it didn’t have any cameras. I guess this is just the doorbell and motion sensors and you are able to purchase cameras separately. No other issues other than that.

                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a promotional item to review. After installing this it took me a few times to sync the device with wi-fi. Once it did I then had a small leaning curve as I needed to learn how to active and de-activate the system once I figured this out I began using it. If feels good to have this device, its nice to have a passive alarm system with monitor that detects movement....I hope I never have to use but glad I took the tike to install it.

                                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a quality product, but only for small places. Out the box it was easy to install and pretty straightforward. My only gripe is that this model only supplied a few sensors. For a big home, you’d need to order extra. You’ll end up spending quite a bit if you have lots of windows and doors.

I feel so secure when I’m home and when I travel, with flawless connection to my iPhone.
